New Z4: Stop guessing what it looks like....

Not doing a lot for me. It's so dissapointing that all the German brands have created this brand style that dilutes any difference aross their range. Almost every car looks identical from the front, it's really boring and shows a lack of flair. :thumbsdown:

Start saving for a Boxster S. There is no other option!
F type......or did you forget that rather big player.....:wink:
F Type does absolutely nothing for me.
Would prefer a German car rather than an Indian one anyway!
Interesting that the concept got very good comments on here from pebble beach, which was 80% of the finished car according to BMW, but seems virtually no one likes it now.... :scratchhead:
The reality from the concept seems to be just less crazy front air scoops and the obvious removal of the rear buttresses which could never have stayed.

That's the trouble with concepts they always leave us with unrealistic expectations of the car and reality is a let down, perhaps BMW and other car makers should just release sneek pics of the actual road car :?john-e89 said:
I take your point Metal but looking at the two cars, if the non concept is indeed the final car, and looking at other new BM’s like the 8 series I reckon it is as it very closely follows the new designs, then they are very closely matched. As I said the buttresses couldn’t stay and the front is toned down but the rest? Well looks pretty identical to me, certainly not different enough to get the negative reactions. Just my opinion obviously.

The side of the car looks pretty much the same as the concept, shame BMW cant come up with a different design of door handle like the flush fit ones like what on the F type.
The grills on the concept and the nose dropping a little look better to me, if they could have got somewhere in the middle it might have been better.
I wonder how different the back end will be as I liked the rear of the concept.

Thanks for putting both photos next to each other John.
You see the swoopy errr... "things" behind the roll hoops on the concept? THAT would've sold the car to me. It's the little things...
Why couldn't they have the same front bumper, and the more aggressive scoops in the sides and the bonnet? I'm not going to demand the same wing mirrors which are strictly concept only but they toned it down too much... If that stuff is planned for an ///M then they should release that from the get go.
Edit: also the more aggressive grills with a slight slant forwards akin to the 80s line up makes a big difference in my humble opinion.
