...or according to the number plate, a 'Shooting Break'. I thought that was a hunting trip to the Highlands...? :)
 
The link below proves that the Z4 Coupe is not a hatchback because it doesn't incorporate 'shared passenger and cargo volume' but it does show that the Z4 Roadster is actually a "cabriolet"
