Not really suprising that the new Z4 would have this design feature. What will be interesting to see is how the other lines on the Z4 interact with this broken shoulder line, because as you can see with the CS, there aren't any other dramatic lines along the side of the body, whereas with the current Z4 there are a number of flexing and sharpened creases going in very unorthodox directions (ie: not simply straight like a normal shoulder line).


Thanks Eni and Scott for the continual updates!

Just one question for either/both of you. When BMW launched the current Z4, they stated that the E65 7er would be the least dramatic of the new BMW models, the Z4 would be the most dramatic, and that the remaining BMW models would be somewhere in between these two models in terms of design flare. Will this spectrum of design flare still apply for upcoming generation of BMWs?
