Maybe the new Z3 will fix some of the traits that made me pass over it for the S2000 last year?

There is a picture in the last AutoWeek. Better looking car with revised suspension and newer engines. A very attractive package when compared to the current model.

Wouldn't the top level Z3 with the M3 engine just be the M Roadster?

Looks like several design cues from the S2000, eh?

...It's bigger in every dimension freeing up more cabin space & extended wheel base....
Would it still be considered a roadster, or is just now considered "The BMW convertible 2-seater"

Also, on the "spy shot" profile view, the front reminds me of the Audi TT, and the cabin to rear remind me of the rear profile of the S2K.

On the "spy shot" frontal view, the front end reminds me of the newer Lincoln town cars.

It looks like a cross between a Stook and a Z8.
