How about a magic trick?

Not every photo shoot requires a car to be present...

Pin the Z4 on the road....

On Vacation now , but there is a good chance this will drop before Nov.5.

Re: The new Z4 gets less attention than the 7series..

If I was to take a flyer I'd say that the sudden lack of forthcoming Z4 info and spy pics is all part of the BMW Creative Marketing strategy. [I love conspiracy theories! ]

If it were my business - I'd do the same; create a fair amount of hype around conveniently snapped FEP's dressed in nightclub toilet wallpaper, dish out some tantalising tidbits of mildly ambiguous information and then pull the plug on the stream a few weeks before launch. Let the fans stew a bit in the annn..tici......pation (forgive the cheesy 70's musical cliché) and then, wham, straight outta left field hit them with "leaked" images of the new car in all its studio-perfect glory posted by a brand new member called "Robbert_Redfid". Who, never posts again...

Luvverly - I really wish this was the truth because I'd rather not have it any other way.

Brookside and onehots2k have got some covert lingo going on between them. Cryptic.

Haha...Barry and I go way back...with less than 4 weeks to go in the Presidential election (we vote Tuesday, November 4th) you can imagine some of us car lovers are also devoting a lot of attention to the campaign.

I wish some of you guys could see how much the internet has affected this election cycle. Blogs, Youtube, dedicated political websites of every persuasion, some very funny very hard-edged e-bombs that take on a life of their own as they get passed around the country, plus constant political commercials (some very nasty) on television...and because I live in what Onehots2K calls a "battleground state" where just a relatively few thousand votes could swing the election it's a nailbiter....and people are really really emotional about it.

You sort of have to be here to understand the depth and pervasiveness of it where the dialogue and finger-pointing changes by the day.


Ok, on to topic & Back to the Z4...

Re: The new Z4 gets less attention than the 7series..

Ah - thanks Brookside - thought as much. Yes, the whole world is watching this, possibly the most compelling US presidential vote in my lifetime, with unprecedented interest. I'm hoping for a result that's fair and decisive and, most importantly, representative of the all the great, diverse things about the US.

But yes, how about that Z4? [Zzzzzzz]

Re: The new Z4 gets less attention than the 7series..

It was bound to happen. It would have been the same with an S class vs SLK for example. The 7er is a more important car to BMW as is the S to the MB. Plus there aren't really any new information to discuss. The last 20 pages of the 7er thread were maybe 15 percent useful

I've got very high hopes for this car. I dream of driving down the road with the top down... right now I dream of an E46 M3 convertable, this car might change my dream up a bit.

Re: The new Z4 gets less attention than the 7series..

Yeah. I know what you mean.

I had an SAP project manager that used to lend me the keys to her Z3 3.0i - y'know: the much better put together version. I had a blast in that one.

Then I had numerous weekends with a Z4 loaner and a good mate of mine subsequently bought one. That car just blew me away with the progress it had made over the Z3 and practically every other roadster in its vicinity barring - debatably - the Boxster S which is much more expensive.

I expect this new Z4 to make the same giant strides, particularly in the areas of ride refinement and turbo'd performance. Also, I hope they go straight for the performance benchmark and fit that 245 kW N54 engine immediately as there's really no need to pussyfoot about with the detuned engine - it's not like the car encroaches on an M3 or anything.
