yes, and that's the only way to look at it. Why do many people think the BM should be the same price as the Miata or solstice? Those two cars don't offer anywhere near the performance or luxury of a BMW.

This could be an awesome car, based on the 1 series/e46, cool

hope for a soon graduate that a BMW Z could be affordable.

And those that say the production date is too late, STFU and stop acting like your life can't wait for cars. Save some $$ and buy one fully loaded.

Folding like a concertina.

Drove the Z4 30i. Not sporty enough for me. Emphasis is on luxury and comfort. Hope the focus is on sportiness for the Z2 if it goes into production.

i just hope that the hood is significantly shorter than the Z4's which would make it a lot more nimble. since it's being designed for exclusively 4cyl. mills I'm optimistic about this. i understand the aesthetic appeal of the long hood-short deck design but from a driving standpoint such designed cars feel physically larger than their overall length would indicate.

what are you guys on. the z4 is huge..
how can it not get smaller... this looks nice from the front so far

frenchM3dreamer · 02-23-2010, 04:06 PM

if BMW was to produce that and sell it for less than $ 40 K on the north side of the border, i'd definitely consider it!!!
i love my current car, i just wish it was RWD... maybe the Z2 is my answer
