This looks very nice if it turns out looking like the picture.
A set of CSL alloys will set it off a treat.

Looks like an improvement on the looks.

It's a bit 6 series round the back. Not a fan of the 6 series....

Personally I thought the back end was ok on the old Z4, just that the front end looked like a fat git had sat on it!

A definite improvement, it's got more curves which suits the car better than the angular 'flame' stuff which I've never liked.

Still got the big kidney grille that makes all Z4s look like chipmunks to me though.

Crap wheels, crap colour.

Need to see some proper pics, and some of the tin top version.

Vastly better surfacing.

The bell-end proportions are still a tad offensive though.

Maybe that was an artist's impression one?
