Just arrived back today from the Geneva motorshow and finally saw the new Z4 close up. It's the weirdest thing but I wasn't that interested in it. I walked around it, looked at the lines and immediately thought that I prefer the look of mine from the outside. To me the current (old) Z4 looks sharper and the lines are better. The front looks ok / good but I wasn't all that taken with the back. Whilst there's nothing wrong with the back I think I prefer the way it is now. I would describe the back as 'baby 6 series' and not as distinctive as it is now. I can say with some confidence that it's pretty unlikely I will change mine for the new one when I'm looking to replace my Z4. Of course this is just my opinion and others may love it.
Apart from the Z4, I checked out the Ferrari California close up (love it), looked around Massa's F1 car, the race prepared Ferrari 599, the Aston Martin 77 (pretty awesome), the Alfa Romeo 8c (really beautiful), Bugatti Veyron (just amazing in the flesh), the new Rolls Royce 200EX being launched in 2010 and quite a few more tasty cars.
It was a really good trip and believe me, you'd never know we're in a global credit crunch. It was a Monday and the place was packed with people.

It's all in the eye of the beholder I guess.
