Awful hood line in the middle of nowhere!
Too much black unused space around the center display. I don’t like this ‘Mercedesfication’ of trying to ‘join’ the two displays. |

Only a mother could love that grill.......looks way too busy for my likings.
I see Kia stinger/Mercedes SL500 stylings mixed with a couple dashes of civic type r edginess. Two thumbs down Performance looks impressive though on the positive: Sh!t.....bmw you really need to loose that hood line and add real exhaust tips |

There are just so many different styling elements! This is really UN-BMW-like.
I'm not a fan. It is the least pleasing exterior Z design since the start of the Z series. This car must be geared toward Asian markets as this would be a better Lexus design than BMW. That being said, the interior is sweet. Hopefully the interior design cues are shared with the rear of the lineup in future models.

I don't hate it, but I was kind of expecting more. I'm a former Z4 owner, and I've been waiting decades for BMW to finally make a great Z car, and they ALWAYS manage to miss the mark somehow. I thought this would be the one, but I'm not feeling it yet.
Lots of crazy lines everywhere. Lots of derived designs. Awkward proportions (is this because of the shared platform?) I'm hoping this car brings brilliant performance/handling, otherwise I think I'm ready to make the jump the Porsche. |

Agree, I mean, it's 100% consistent with every other BMW coming out right now. By all accounts, BMW did all the engineering work and designed the Z4 and Toyota is basically restyling it as a coupe and calling it the Supra.

I am sorry but I don't see the obvious deficiency you refer to. can you describe the " correct way" you feel it should be made?

What engine is in this? I see dual mid-pipes to the muffler.

Why doesn't this roadster have shift gates hidden underneath a missing shift boot?
Oh wait... Wait, I thought BMW said this is going to be a true roadster? |

However, the X3/X4 M’s engine, the S58, will make even more power and would be perfect for a Z4 M. Unfortunately, as far as we know right now, BMW has no plans to offer one. It could change, but it is not necessarily likely. It is the B58TU. Assuming this is a US spec model, it is a B58B30O1. If it is instead a Euro spec model, it is a B58B30M1. |
