Also, as often happens with new BMW designs, it takes a bit for people to adjust to the new look, but as almost always (not always) happens, people end up preferring the newer model to the old.

wow by all means don't undersell the old Z4, sheesh.
they picked the WORST color for old Z4 and probably worst rims too, and put that against the new Z4. some comparison, haha. i've seen MUCH better looking old Z4s than that, and lets face it, the Z4 coupe might make the current Z look a bit tame and lame as well. I think the old Z4 is much better looking car outside especially in gray and blue colors, while nez Z4 wins only on interior.

Plus they compare the E85 open next to an E89 closed. What comparison is that??? You see, personal taste is - let's say "personal" Quote:

[QUOTE=320what;5052433]i know, it's all taste arguments we can't win. still, i think both cars have that shark look to their faces except the first one was a kind of mean tiger shark and the second one is one of the less agressive-let's feed them type of sharks. I think the original Z4 was a bit more masculine - and sales support this - 90% of Z4 buyers are guys apparently (maybe for wives?...). I think the new Z4 is the kind of softer version, good alternaitive to mercedes SL. At least CAR wrote this in latest issue having tested it against the main opposition. Oh we |

I would rather see a comparo of the new vs. old coupe OR this comparo with the hood down.
The old coupe is much better looking than either of these cars......especially the ///M........

I owned the old model for 2 years back in 2004 and in terms of looks, I very much prefer the folding hard top and shape of the new model. I think that when both are compared side by side, the front of the old model looks quite plain, in comparison to all of the detail thats in the design of the new model.

Looks are subjective, lots of people will (and do) LOVE the look of this car, and that's great. How many of them can actually afford its huge price tag, that's another question.

Many people on here (the most I think) believe that the old Z4 is more beautiful than the SLK. But Mercedes sold two or three times more SLK's (maybe many more) than the Z4 which BMW sold... So, you have to understand that BMW doesn't gives a shit about what I'm saying or what you're saying, BMW cares ONLY for the sales...
Furthermore, about the speed and the other characteristics of the cars, a car which runs the 0-100 in 6,5 seconds like sDrive23i is not slow and for sure is sporty, unless you thing that you are Michael Schumacher (and many people in here think that they are...). Futhermore, about the sDrive35i and its 305 powerhorse... What to say...?? It's a fast, beautiful, sporty and also luxury roadster...!! If you want only speed and acceleration you have to buy a 370Z or even a Subaru Impressa... |

I second that X10, they should have picked a 2008 Z4 montego Blue metallic with Beighe leather seats to match color of the New Z4, it would totaly be different. That was a BAD COMPARISON.
