Silly question, When is "not a Z4" a Z4?

Ok, I might be encouraging the dreaded REPOST...... but when did BMW announce this zebra coloured best is gonna be the new Z4... I thought nobody knew if it was gonna be the Z4 or Z6 or Z9, but now everyone is saying Z4... Did I miss something?

Sorry, I should know better, being admin and all... :oops:
 
Well, logically it should be the Z5. It seems to be a totally new car with metal roof (although rumours are about that a soft top option may be offered?? Why not? it works well on the MX5.

But if BMW see this car as a design development of the current car it will be the Z4. :) Also, the Z3 suffered from some adverse press with regards to drive quality etc so BMW may have changed the number to distance the two cars. The Z4 has generally been well received so that may encourage them to keep the model number the same.

:roll: On the other hand, with a Z2, possible Z8 and a M1 all in the offing they may feel that they will end up running out of numbers. I can see my grand son buying a Z23 in 2050!! 1 litre hypercharged engine running on recycled bottle tops, Cosmic steering, 3D implanted night vision, twin flux capacitors and faux dream leather interior - well you won't be allowed to kill animals by then!
 
I was wondering the same. There are loads of posts around saying the Z4 manufacture is coming to an end, then these other posts claim the zebra is the new Z4.

That's my point exactly... just thought i'd missed summit
 
We will ignore any Z5 driver as we will say it is no longer a true roadster and do not wish to be associated with them :)

But you do know the true drivers car is the Coupe! :poke: :fuelfire: :P

We will become "That old classic BMW Z4 forum" and start wearing cloth caps and driving gloves!! :oldman:
 
Start wearing a cloth cap? Already do! Coupe is just a roadster with a tin lid to keep the hairdressers hair in place! :fuelfire:
