At least it doesn't look as bad as the Supra. I was so excited to see the new Supra, and then when I finally did at the Chicago auto show, I about threw up in my mouth. What a disappointing turd.

It's completely beyond Japanese.

I agree it's over the top and not what you'd expect from the new generation of Toyota Supra.

Do you mean the M40i?

The M40i is faster and much faster around a track. The Z4 M40i has posted a few laptimes equivalent to the M2, nevermind a 240i xDrive convertible.

Either way, based on the early reports even the 4 cyl is going to drive more like a sports car than a 240.

I don't know why people like to say "My ______ cost $***** in _____".

You can literally say that about anything you buy today.

Probably to avoid being cross shopped with the 2er and 4er coupes. Would be redundant to have a third coupe.

Being a 2-seater convertible makes this car unique in the BMW portfolio.

I don't think they will sell that well. Its somehow related to toyota and that means lexus, which means so boring the dead die of boredom.
I enjoyed my ISFs and RCF... the F80 is a much better drivers car but those were far from boring.

Oh and the LC is an absolutely gorgeous car.

I'm more excited to see a Supra in person; the Z4 in non M dress doesn't impress me

This just does not look like a $60,000 car to me. It does look much better with the black grilles, though.

I thought this is known.
It's due to the agreement with Toyota. They don't build a Supra Convertible and BMW doesn't build a Z4 Coupe.

BMW and Toyota each have stated that they can each produce a coupe or convertible variant. Neither is bound by any design or performance agreement.

I got to think that in the interest of the partnership they probably won't directly compete with each other for a little while at least.

I don't believe BMW will make another Z4 coupe. The numbers just aren't there if we look back the E85 vs E86.
