Dude, have u been living in a cave all these years? The pre-facelift Z4 had the exact same folding nav screen!

Anyways, so... basically no changes?

The design was too good to be changed...
Some new options are released, but I would like to see some Performance Brakes available!

Yet another application of VO. I love those seats by the way and that's about that.

Nice car, it doesn't seem old even if it is a 2008 proyect.
Anyway, the new headligths are a great improvement.
Not a substancial LCI to not upset the few customers it has.

Thankfully the Msport model still looks quite fresh because that is a very lazy facelift. They should have given it new square angel eyes and optional LED headlights. It doesn't even have LED indicators.

What a silly comment. I've owned the car 3 years and have never needed another. I have no family, no need to carry 2.5 kids, this car works well for me.

Ditto. I have no kids either and it's more than plenty for my needs.

It's a great looking car, but as the only "sports" car in BMW's line up, it should be offered in a true M version.

The problem with the Z4 is its price and nothing else. It's simply overpriced. By a lot.

I, too, agree that the Z4 IS the best looking car in the BMW line-up. I like the new lights, but they do not make the car look that different. I do not like the side markers. I almost think that it cheapens the car.

I am still driving my 2010 35i and loving it. I am holding out for the 2015 or 2016 completely redesigned Z4. I will keep this until that one is available. I don't even have to know what it will look like. I think it will be awesome. I started with the Z3 and had two E85's and now the E89 and have always been happy with the newer model.

In my opinion the latest version of the Z4 is so perfect, I hope they can improve on it. I know the handling is going to be more sportier from what I have read, so that will be good. I cannot wait to see what it will look like, but as I stated, I will keep my 2010 until the new version comes out.
