Jo and I had a bit of a spa weekend at our local v. nice Spa hotel and amongst some of the metal parked up including a svelte R8 was a black Z4.

And I have to say it was a good looking car and I was stunned by my reaction. With Jo having had a previous generation Z4 3.0 for a couple of months which we hated, this looked like a much more muscular car and I was impressed.

Makes me wonder what they drive like

 

Yet to see one in the metal, but I am looking forward to it.

I'll probably prefer the smaller & nimbler Z2 (the new model's huuuuge!) to drive, though.

Good to see a more mature, balanced style inside and out after the previous abortion.

Even the new 7er looks more like a 7er than that fat ,jowly mess before.

I think v. Hooydonck will probably prove Bangle to be the Emperors' New Clothes, in the fullness of time, but it's probably too early to tell.

 

Honestly Nick I was really surprised at how good a looking car it is.

If it drives as well as it looks then it could be worth a go

 

It is quite pretty.
I saw one today, and really liked it.


It will sell like the proverbial hot cakes.

 

Had a look at one in the showroom at launch, and thought it was ok.

Seen a couple on the road now. Look very

 

Grudging praise from the owner of an old model ...

 

Thats how I read it

Russ.

 

Not at all.

Seeing it in the showroom aint the same as seeing it on the road. Looked great on the road.

Not a fan the the TT engine myself (however impressive the performance figures)but I'm sure it's nice car

 

Some BMW's are starting to look a lot better, though I always thought the Z4 looked OK, especially in coupe form.

That 7 Series face lift is a huge improvement.

 

I quite liked the pictures of these, and it's definitely an improvement over the current model (although it would be difficult to be worse).

I saw one parked up on the road the other day, in the inevitable white , and I was very disappointed. It's a very fussy design and was a bit of a let down.

I expect it works much better in the darker colours (probably why they used a dark blue for the advertising).
