In the article it quotes from Adrian van Hooydonk, Head of BMW Brand Design, who says: ""Interestingly, the new Coupé was actually designed at the same time as the original Z4 Roadster in the late 1990s. BMW's hugely successful launch of new models in recent years left some of the more niche models on the drawing board. But my design team and I pushed for this car and an opportune time to engineer the car for production. Designing the two Z4 models simultaneously ensured that both share a common design theme and a cohesive appearance,"
This confirms exactly what I was suggesting: the Z4MC was NOT an afterthought,but part of the original design of the Z4 platform.![]()
