Wonder if this is the TV advert...https://www.bmw.co.uk/bmw-cars/z4 ?

Looks pretty sharp in San Francisco Red... 8)
 
I can’t see the comparison either bz4kev... Z4 has much sharper styling, and overall it’s bigger. The Fiat has a more upright windscreen, less sleek and more classic looking.
 
Have to admit I thought Abarth 124 when I saw the first production pics, but thanks to buzyg's comparison photos I can see they're not as similar as I first thought (other than both being red). The Z4 looks much nicer. I wonder what it would look like with 'traditional' style kidney grilles (and will someone produce them as aftermarket items at some stage)?

My thoughts exactly. That said, the photograph of the Z4 above is the first I've seen that doesn't look utterly awful, so maybe red softens the ugliness.
 
I was expecting he’d donut it when he reached the centre of the maze ... obviously no longer PC
 
That advert really makes me want a new Z4 now “exact, yet effortless” aye f**k off mate. :rofl:
 
Silver grille and alloys look decent on the red. Better than the first edition M40i.

Agree, the right colour, trim and wheels make all the difference.

The BMW UK site actually has an error... the M Sport model has the 19” wheels with silver trim on the kidney grills, but to get the 19” wheels you need to add on the M Sport Plus package which includes the high gloss trim (black surround to the kidney grills), so it’s actually impossible to build the car below! :thumbsdown:

Does look smart in that video! Think I’m going to stick with my order for Black with White leather though. Can’t decide how much I’d like the Red, and Misano Blue looks good in photos but not so nice in person on the X2 I’ve seen.

I think Misano Blue has become quite common throughout the BMW range, but San Francisco red is apparently a new colour... which actually appeals to me.
 
The Abarth version of the Fiat Spider is not too shabby. Someone on my road has one.

Still the new Z4 appears to be leagues above.

At 20k more it should be. I really like the Abarth 124

Yes, I noticed this as well. With 19” wheels, the choice of kidney grill colour on the new Z4 is pretty limited both on the M Sport sDrive 30i and the M40i. My preference would be a chrome grill on the M40i but I’m afraid BMW only allows either a Cerium Grey (Matt Silver) or Black kidney grill.
 
IMO I really think it looks good. I would love to see BMW make a Coupe version. From the pics I have seen of the Supra, I'm not so keen on it, but that's a coupe, so maybe BMW will do it.
