However, when you're driving one of them, it all feels just right. The M Coupe's rather dull and somewhat rough looking guages are a gem to use in action.

I have to admit that it could use some touching up in the materials dept., and maybe some cleaning up in design. I was just very surprised to see how much of a departure it was compared to all the other models.
I think the problem with the Z4 interior is the fact that it's very plain. It would look great with an I-drive system built into the centre of the dash. The steering wheel is about all I like from the interior. Also, I hate the way the dash has a big CHUNKY strip across it instead of a thinner 1 like other models. It looks terrible in Aluminium trim.

Yeah man it's been uncovered for a while. Here's better pics from the past:
