jesus. looks more like a Z8 each time- which is to say boat-like- does it come with an outboard and paddles? someone had better tell bangle to quit smoking the cheap THC and get the good stuff.

I don't think its THAT ugly..., it will be great seller, that's for sure!

What woryes me is that Z4 M will be having 4.0l V8 420 hp engine under bonnet... TT RS will have to go up against that.

I think that would be the wrong way.... lighter and efficient that`s the way... Audi is doing well there

don`t think the V8 will get that much customers

It's no worse than the last Z4. Oh, wait a minute, it was butt ugly as well.

from that angle (from behind) it looks very much like the actual SLK.

From behind: what is this? A VW Scirocco?

Hope S65B40 will be applied on Z4M.
It weighs 202 kg (445 lb): 15 kg (33 lb) lighter than S54B32, while also being shorter.

Just read there's won't be a coupe-version (given the tin-folding top) and unlikely even an M-version. Enginge bay is too small to fit the V8 and next M3 will run a twin turbo 6, so the new Z is pretty much stuck in the middle for now... (Source: CAR Magazine)
