What's the verdict on this one?

Looks pretty sharp...but if you took off the BMW badge and hid the grille, I'm not sure whether I'd guess BMW....could be any brand?

I don't know why, but it reminds me of the Saturn Sky (the US version of the Vauxhall/Opel Speedster), with a Jaguar F-type feel.
It lacks the typical BMW feel of the previous Z4 and Z3.

Looks quite blobby from the side. Reminds me of the transition between the different generation of miata/mx5

Definitely reminds me of this....(F-type Jag)

The front grill is distinctively BMW, but not much else. Either way, I think it's stunning! (As I do the Jag too. 馃榾 )

I think the F-type looks a lot better! Of course, the Z4 may look better in the metal than it does in pictures (like the S550 Mustang does).

Im very tempted to get a F-type in a couple of years, the v8 sounds spectacular.

I don't think so Adam, maybe a saloon would suit you better perhaps.....;-)

I'm undecided on this. Could be a bit overstyled? Plus it looks wide. Not ideal for UK roads, or tail-out action.

I doubt those wing mirrors are legal in the UK.

Panic over. It looks like I'll be fine.

The styling looks nice, but it looks a bit big - in person, I'll bet it's rather truck-like. Sports cars aren't small anymore, unfortunately....

Who wants to bet it weighs over 3500lbs and is automatic-only?

The ZF 8-speed in the 140M etc is really good thou

I see slightly a BMW Z8 in it, with my eyes almost shut.
Should be great value for anyone that likes hairdressers cars 馃榿

I think it's a winner as well as the new 8.

Mercedes / Maybach are also doing something that draws from similar inspiration.

I like it but I bet the production model:
- Won't have those wing mirrors
- Won't sit that low
- Won't have such a thin windscreen surround (due to lack of roll over protection)
