must have

TopDown · 01-11-2009, 06:42 PM

1st photo shows the high beltline, and low top - nice look.

M2381 · 01-11-2009, 09:29 PM

Never been a fan of the Z untill now

uhn2000 · 01-11-2009, 09:55 PM

Just added this to my most wanted list. WOW!

Nutballa · 01-11-2009, 10:11 PM

I want one soooo bad! sexy Z!

MidwestBimmerFan · 01-12-2009, 12:35 AM

What a car! I love it!!!!

michal12 · 01-12-2009, 03:22 AM

Glad to see even non-Pure White interior looks very beautiful.

Year's_End · 01-12-2009, 03:23 AM

Has the old shifter, huh.

I love the interior. I'd say it's as aesthetically appealing as the new Audi interiors, which is saying a LOT.

Z4 Beemer · 01-12-2009, 04:53 AM

Terrific photos!

The 19" rims with the Deep Sea Blue paintwork looks stunning.

Deda · 01-12-2009, 06:14 AM

yeah old shifter..man that really sux!

michal12 · 01-12-2009, 07:31 AM

The old shifter is there if you go for the 6 speed auto.
7 speed DCT gets the new one but I think DCT only goes with the 35i.

Beautiful and Stunning! I just hope that BMW does come out with an M version down the road. From what I hear it looks like it's not going to happen.

EVO_S4 · 01-12-2009, 08:17 AM

hottness

job well done BMW

Zirenz2006 · 01-12-2009, 08:32 AM

Deep sea blue is amazing but I am really starting to like that Orion Silver!!

The US bound cars will have front PDC, which is good. I also noticed the normal shifter in one of the cars (similar to the 3 series) and the new shifter in the other. So is that some kind of an option?

It looks like her!

paddyrx8 · 01-12-2009, 08:37 AM

I like the way all BM's look but could wouldn't describe any of them as beautiful, until this one.

This is the best looking BM for many years. I like the current Z4 but this blows it away. Could almost be called as Z6 as it seems to be a lot beefier.

It sure does blow the current Z4 away! It is a huge improvement IMHO.

Jordan O · 01-12-2009, 09:03 AM

It looks like BMW nailed it with the new Z4! Looks NICE!

Staszek · 01-12-2009, 09:57 AM

I just changed my mind about what I want as my next car. Looks really good!

And the guy on the far left kicking back is BMW design chief Adrian van Hooydonk. You know, the guy who replaced Chris Bangle.
