I take my hat off for this car

Time to say goodbye to the old and Hello to the new

Yeah, but I feel kind of sad as well....I don't want to see the current car go, the coupé in particular. I love them still

Maybe the second one is the new M-Pack

It was about time that something great looking arrives to replace current car. Current car has one single problem since day one and that's it's front which looks horrible imo. The rear and side are great, interior is fine but front ruins everything.

Anyhow, this new one already looks better from the front despite still wearing lots of camo.

I always thought the profile of the car with the weird cutline at the bottom of the door made it look like a boat about to sink... The front also wasn't very good.. The facelifted rear is attractive though.

That's exactly how i felt about the old Z4 too. I loved the rear, I was absolutely dead in love with the profile. But I never digested the elephantesque front. The problem is simple: the lights are high, the nostrils are low. Why? no idea. Add to that, that the lights are ugly.

Of course, the shut lines crossing the side blinker was the other terrible detail, but a detail compared to the front, which with or without shutlines, in any color, sucked.

Another thing is the shutlines that are not in their "natural" place. I am worried for the E89 too, since with all the camouflage we can't see the shutlines, and I saw in one picture that there is a huge horizontal shutline about 5 inches above the nostrils (for the engine hood) and it is at a very sensitive place, if it stays there then it ruins the front.

Also if the E89 has huge front lights that go upwards it ruins the front. The E92 doesn't have that. Never knew why the Z4 E85 had that. Terrible.

Bingo! My thoughts exactly!

I adore the current Z4 M Coupé, sexy and cool at the same time top on that its one of BMW's wildest cars to drive. I really hope there will be a new M version
