Default New BMW Z4

I have to say, it's an improvement over the current model. I prefer the back to the front though. What do you think?

I would ditch those grilles, cut out the front openings to make one large uniform hole and install a billet grille. Then it would look like a mini Aston Martin.

the back does look a little bit improved but they should have changed the front end, it definitly doesnt belong in on a sports car/ roadster.

i remember i raced one a long time ago when i first got my evo9 and he was tailing me the whole time until we got to a small nice 90* right hand turn and we both deccelerated from 120 to 60mph and my car just had alot of tire squeel and i look at him trying to match my turn and he did a 360* spin out bwahahah i later meet up with him and found out he was my old gym teacher bwahahah good times

That's a BMW design element, the "kidney" grills. It's an actual brand identifier, but know what you're getting at.

They're putting the twin turbo motor from the 3 series into that thing

That's going to be a quick roadster, good for BMW

It's too bad, but it's quite heavy for a roadster. With the tt engine and a manual it weighs 3450, and with the auto it weighs 3494

I know this. And I know that the Corvette flags are symbolic of the Corvette. Didn't stop me from grinding and glassing.
