It looks nice (the old ones did too, in my opinion), but it better drive better than the old Z4. I drove a Z4 SDrive3.0i and walked away immensely disappointed. All style, no substance.
I have to admit I like the "shark-nose" styling of the grill.
I like the two different colored seats!
I hope it's not, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was an all style and little substance car again.
Needs more MCoupe, but the foundation is pretty fantastic.
Im kinda loving the splitter/airdam. And the rear is elegant and simple (which Im a big fan of). The headrests are pretty cool with the bodywork that comes up to meet them
It's very pretty. It will be 700 lbs too heavy and it will understeer like a pig.
It's just as good looking, if not better, than the previous gen. But If it ain't a coupe, I'm not interested.
BMW sold 10,398 total Z4s between 2012 and 2016.
This car is not relevant anymore. I'm shocked they built a successor.

Yeah, I guess I didn't realize they still made those.
OTOH, early Z4's are getting really cheap in my area, but that is a topic for another thread altogether.
They ripped off the Catfish!

That's because GRM'rs aren't buying them for sporting intentions.
Older folks that can afford a $60k convertible as a 2nd or 3rd car are buying them.

The coupe will be called Supra!
Better pics here:
I wonder why the passenger seat is brown?
BMWs are starting to look good again over the last few years, almost all the Bangle mutagen has been worked out of the system.
I think that it looks sweet. Unfortunately, I always prefer the coupe models which somehow retain their value better than the ragtops.
I think it looks like the bastard child of a Pontiac Solstice and a Jaguar F-Type. Not a big fan, to be honest. But I didn't like the old Z4 either. Z3 is the only good BMW roadster IMO (and the Z8, but that's practically nonexistent).
I like it. I thought the last Z4 looked good too. If I was old, rich, and wanted a toy to cruise around it would be on the list.
I didn't realize Lexus made the Z4.
I don't hate that

I had a similar experience, completely underwhelmed after driving the car. Surprising that BMW would even bother with this segment anymore and bring this back....... especially with the Z4 name. Don't they usually want to distance them selves from a less than stellar reputation?
I knew an older gent of near 80 who traded a stock 2000 Miata for a nice 2008-ish Z4 immediately regretted it.
I look forward to the day when automakers stop trying to out-jowl each other.

Doubt you'll see it with how much cooling is needed for modern engines, especially turbo cars.
