    Spy Shots of the refreshed Z4

    Still lots of body cladding but you can see bits and pieces of the car.

    2009 BMW Z4 Shows its Nose

    In any case, the styling is going to stay controversial.

    I'm not sure of how true this is. BMW has said that it doesn't plan of creating a successor for the Z4 and instead is going to focus on a Z2. It's no big secret that the market for the Z4/SLK/Boxster is slow and I suspect BMW feels that a 1 Series based roadster will sell better than a 3 Series based roadster. And by the way, a Z2 with a 3-liter turbo engine sounds like a really great way to spend the afternoon.

    I've been wrong before.

    Apparently there will be two small sportcars out. A facelifted Z4, shown here and a smaller Z2. It might be a very good idea, to facelift the Z4 instead of creating a completely new model allready. The lifespan increase against minimal cost...

    This is a rendering of the "new" Z4 done by a Dutch magazine. Believe me, the magazine is rarely wrong !!! Actually i've never seen it being completely wrong, just at details.

    Snap- they're all cars for the up-and-coming yuppies here. I like the current Z4, wouldn't mind if the new one bore a slight reminder of this model with some added attractiveness.

    The car in the pic is very similar to the one in spy photos.

    The Z2 should be a great idea since lately BMW is gaining too much weight

    Again it's too early to say. But I doubt they can actually make it look worse than the current one.

    I doubt they'd disguise a facelifted car so heavily.

    is it just me or does the rear of the car look almost identical to that of Honda's S2000?
    May the downforce be with you
