Has anybody seen these pictures? New shape sure looks different from the old Z3.

Not bad looking; hopefully the underpinnings have improved as well.

That DEFINITELY is an improvement over the current model. Will be potent if they offer the M3 motor with it.

yeah, in the article they emphasize that this will be built on the current 3 series frame and finally ditch that old trailing arm suspension from back in '86.

I wonder how many people here are going to jump ships. With 340HP, our car is no longer a match for Z3-M. We need S2000 Type-R.

Much agreed -- HUGE improvement. Styling is more in keeping with its much bigger and much more expensive brother, the Z8.
