The new model is a completely different animal - much more of a motorway cruiser (where I do most of my driving) than the last one. It also feels more grown up, both in the technology, the finish and the way it's put together.
For me, this is my ideal car because of the hard top - I know people say it's not a proper Z4 anymore and I can see their point but I bought this one because it has pretty much everything that I didn't get on my first one.
 
the new z4 is a grower, the more you see them in the metal the better they start to look, just like the original really. sounds like its easier to live with and more practical.
 
Space Grey with Black Leather. :) This is exactly the combination I want for my next Z4. It looks very nice. No sports seats?

I complete agree with this. :) I owned a Z4 2.2i from September 2004 to December 2006, then bought the new 3 series coupe, (325i coupe), and kept it till May this year when I got the new Z4. Looking back, I don't regret buying the 325i which is a great car, but the Z4 feels much more special.To be honest, I doubt I would have bought the new Z4 if it was a cloth top... (sorry!) I think the new one feels much more refined on the inside.
 
Nice car! I was comparing the shape with my coupe and the rear (with hood up) looks quite different dont they? A bit like 3 series coupe & CC looks very different a the back.

Like the light and aggressive curve on the bonnet!

No, didn't go for sports seats. I find the bolsters just a bit too constrictive

Have you taken this one apart yet?
