But I think it would make more sense for them to release it in the spring of '09, that way they can make more summer sales. Plus I wonder if there will be a current z4 as a '09 or will they just not make an '09 z.
It won't be true for the states. In the last two product release cycles, vehicles built in Germany will debut in March in Germany and Europe and be available in the States by September for the MY, while cars built in the states gets released world-wide later than it would for U.S. dealers.

Since the next generation Z roadster will be built in Germany it will likely follow the same pattern. As for the the current E85/E86 Z4, the M production will likely ramp down soon and the last Z4 built will probably roll off of Spartanburg no later than March of 2009.
