-Tom- said:Coupe is definitely the best looking for me, BUT I do prefer the roadster as a car to drive (nothing to do with the actual performance/steering rack etc etc ) but purely driving pleasure with the noise and roof down. It does look good with the roof down, but the coupe just looks so cool and unusual.

Angie4m said:Not yet voted......just wondering if those voting that are E89 owners? Seen as there is no option for said car.........if there is no option for E89 I'm gonna go E86

Well you could ask why the majority of Z4 owners have roadsters - I would suggest that indicates a preference, so the poll will reflect the choices that owners have already made? :wink:
No but they definitely are now and have been for about 5 years..ZermattV said:They were n't cheaper new bluestreak

Just look at the production figures.
Even if you go by the Wiki figures which are not likely accurate:
Over the Z4's life cycle, 197,950 vehicles had been produced, with 180,856 roadsters and 17,094 coupés.
So theres your answer. There are simply 10 times as many roadsters as coupes, they are also cheaper. The preference you refer to is ease of choice and cheaper cost.
Marlon said:So we have lots of roadster owners out there who would have much preferred a coupe, but who have settled for 2nd best. If thats true then let them vote for the Coupe :wink:

Thats a fair comment and I am interested in the results, I just think that ownership skews your perception.

Taz said:i think maybe the best people to judge are those who have both, so in my opinion hehe:
1st the coupe without question is the best looking
2nd the roadster with the top down
3rd the tin top with the roof down
4th the tin top with roof up
5th the ugliest of them all is the roadster with roof up - makes me cringe
