...and at first glance, I felt bad for the guy because it appeared to have been in an car accident that sideswiped his car. Upon closer inspection, I noticed that was by design. It really does look that way. Then I felt REALLY bad for him.

Haven't seen one in person yet, Vince. It's a real love it or hate it design, for sure. Some very weird design cues (if you ask me). I'll probably take an opportunity to drive one when I get a chance, though, and I'd like to get a first hand look. I've always loved Bimmer engines.

Hey Chaz, how ya doin?
Yea, I love Beemer engines myself. I have no issues with BMW's engineering. But jeez, with this automobile, it appears that the designers were trying too hard. Too bad.

I drove one. Nice car. Not a sports car. Soft, slow and the one I drove was an automatic. Some say the S has too much body roll but that Z4 felt like a pig compared to my S. I am sure there are tons of soccer moms that will get one for their 2nd car.

but you got to give Z4 some credit for the smart design of the softtop, comfortable cabin design and Bavarian engineering.
