Because the Z4 is currently a bloated pig, like much of the other BMW models. The Z2 is more for people who actually would want to drive their roadsters instead of be seen in them, and I have no problem with that (similar to the 1 - replace the model that has gotten too big for its original spot in the line-up). Don't be surprised to see well-off people "stepping down" to the Z2 instead of the Z4 if it delivers on its stated power/weight ratio and driving dynamics.

I just hope that it's built in Germany and not the US, so that I can do Euro delivery. Assuming my Benz holds up for another 18 months, of course.
