    it looks ok, will probably drive moderately well, and does anyone else think that the interior looks great? However, this or a 370z...my money goes on the Nissan every time.
  • Richard - DR
    I suspect we'd VERY enthusiastic if it had four stubby tailpipes and a 4.0 litre V8...
  • CyberBilly
    I like the shape better than the old Z4......... but to be honest that is damning with faint praise!
  • Adrian
    Why do all modern car designs make large wheels look so small. I bet it has at least 18" wheels and yet they look lost in the design at the rear.
  • Daytonafan
    Surprisingly I actually quite like it, looks a lot more muscular than the old one.
  • Supercrosser
    Hardtop, hum?!

    Sounds like the car will become substantially heavier than the old one. The 3 series also has gained a lot of weight going from soft to hardtop....

    So i doubt it handles as good as a 987.
  • Mark, you're quite right, both the Z8 and Z3 appeared in Bond movies whereas the Z4 was used in BMW's short film 'The Hire' driven by Clive Owen.

    I reckon Owen would have made a much better Bond than Pierce Brosnan, so maybe my deliberate error was just wishful thinking.

    This new Z4 was first scooped on the film set of a new Michael Douglas movie, so I wonder if it's a sign that the Z4 is now aimed more at the 'older generation'..
  • Not too sure on it myself

    [pedant mode]It was the Z3 that was in Goldeneye, the Z4 didn't come about until 2002 ;)[/pedant mode]

    That new nose reminds me of the Fisker Karma.. and that's not an especially good thing.
