Doubtful. As with other cars, most people choose the more conservative colors, typically black, white, silver and gray. This might be a little less applicable to a car like the Z4, but I'd still expect a high tendency toward the basic, non standout colors. Most Z4s I see on the road today are silver.

Can't wait to see this car in white, it looked awesome in the partial covered spyshots and all newer model bmws seem to look great in white!

Deep sea blue is a great color on the E60. Not many go for this but from the few photos that I have seen, it's very nice. DSB is also the E61 wagon's color in the 2008 catalog.

On the other hand, E60 looks great with Alpine white or silver, because the lighter color seems to display the lines really well. I think Alpine white on the new Z4 will be great.

I'm more in favour of a dark colour for the new Z4 to disguise the 'joins' of the roof. I recently saw a white E93 cabrio and IMO seeing where the roof panels joined together looked unsightly.

I don't think its been mentioned, but the E93 has the hinges visible on the outside of the car (because of the 3rd folding section), whereas on the new Z4 its a completely smooth roof.

COMPLETLY AGREED! I was very happy to see that on the deep sea blue I could barely tell the black joints in the roof at all. Passed my visual test

Same here. I would want something different from my usual silver, black or white cars. Silver with red would look classic though.

What does everyone think of Titanium Silver with a saddle/black interior?

silver and black is a classic combination, but saddle may be a bit light with the silver exterior.

I quite fancy black/red or a dark metallic grey/red if available. Although that deep see blue is a great colour and classic BMW.

yes, I think I am going to really like the Silver Black like I have in my Z4M. I was thinking though that the dash looks so good with the two tone I was trying to think what would look good with it. I don't want Red because I had Silver/Red in my Z3.

I think an all black interior with chrome accents would look the absolute best in a car with a silver exterior!
