MotorAuthority takes a guess at the upcoming Z4

Mark · 10-08-2008, 02:24 PM

Here is a beautiful render of what the upcoming Z4 may look like. The car is nearly upon us!!!

PLAYON · 10-08-2008, 02:34 PM

Looks kinda rounded and funky up front. . .There was another rendering that looked a bit more aggressive, I liked that one much more.

Maka08 · 10-08-2008, 03:05 PM

Reminds me of the 1 series from the front, and 1s remind me of Chevron cars so that can't be a good thing.

Year's_End · 10-08-2008, 03:11 PM

Grille needs to be wider (or flatter), headlights need a kink, lines need to be sharper, lower bumper will be a little more different, and I'm sure it'll have fogs like all non-Ms.

I hate renderings.

ZStig · 10-08-2008, 04:27 PM

meh

Bimmer Nerd · 10-08-2008, 06:39 PM

complete rip offfff from 7 series, if you notice, you can actually see how the headlights and kidneys are photoshoped from angle shot of the 7 series, i HIGHLY doubt that the new Z will look like anything like this and if it will, it will sure look ugly.

ps. the headlights are 3 series and the kidneys are from 7 series, and on the side skirts the "M3" kind of look is taken from the z3 i think. so once again i highly doubt that this ugly thing will go into production.

gPiplay · 10-08-2008, 08:03 PM

I think it looks too much like the current z

red.66mustang · 10-08-2008, 08:12 PM

Clearly whoever did this took the headlights from the 09 e90. Others I have seen look better, needs to be more aggressive. I do like the fender vent tho, reminds me of Z8

jusjankey · 10-08-2008, 10:25 PM

this is the worst rendering ive seen so far

Kiemyster · 10-08-2008, 10:47 PM

my god.

i have seen renderings before.... but this? LOL.

this really is the worst proper pshop ive seen... like... ever. the guy didnt even try that hard lol

keanu1 · 10-09-2008, 06:33 AM

Even that guy from the wheel looks rendered!!!

ebeem · 10-09-2008, 07:20 AM

I've seen it today..comaouflaged though.
But it really looks like the picture above when it comes to the grill and the lines on the hood.

MrHarris · 10-09-2008, 10:38 AM

Looks too much like the current Z imo.

mcacciola · 10-09-2008, 11:35 AM

That's only a briefly retouched current Z4. Bet you that will look Waaaay different.

but the body itself looks just like that,..I mean I saw it a few times yet and I guess that there won`t be too much of a change..
well,..we`ll see

silvrevo · 10-09-2008, 03:31 PM

Ya ,, i seen better

Like the first few that are out.

Sticky · 10-11-2008, 03:45 AM

Just looks like the current car.

They should make it bigger and more masculine. This thing could potentially be a German Vette, the best of all worlds.

zetaxi165 · 10-12-2008, 05:09 AM

Whatever it looks like, it is going to be truly awesome with the N54 - twin turbo engine in it.
