Z4 coupe concept vs production

Is that really a concept or just a pre production version?
Seems like a pre-face coupe (although that never existed).
Looks good without the aerial though!
 
Its not really a article more a advertorial for the company that artworked the image about themselves .
These images are the 'pre production' clad in original Z4 bumpers vs the later Facelift Z4 models, more highlighting the changes from early Z4's to Later Z4, so not a major comparison.

It is a good reference point for Pre / Post facelift changes

AGREED!!
The early 'Rings' look like a nice considered design that compliments the car,
where as the later Facelift rears look more of a functional after thought.

Do you think it is possible to fit the first rear light on the E86 ? what would I have to change ? light and bumper ?
 
Yes it fits,
the issue is the shape of the bumper, as the underside of the light is less curved, so the bumper would have to be changed or modified.

Ill be honest though, in day light the facelift lights look pony compared to the originals, in the dark the facelift ones look Loads better.
 
The lights were always an issue for BMW as the 'French fry' was so expensive to manufacture and process- anders warming insisted it stayed as it was intergral to the design. The lights on the concept coupe would have been a happy compromise for the facelift but sadly they didn't materialise, as the facelift rear lights are IMHO really boring.

The interior is a bit twee, but I would love proper "full leather", inc dash and steering wheel hub, and metal air vent surrounds!

Great addition to thread. I love such could have been, pre-production imagery.
