Z Series [Official] E89 BMW Z4

[Zafiro]

A4 and Z4 maybe...but the E-class is top notch (interior wise).

I've been asking this question for years...but I will do it one more time for old time sake.

What exactly are you looking for in an interior to be impressive? Other then the basics!

The interior design in Z4 and E-class is impressive but I also want better quality feel and materials thats better than the previous models but its not the case. None if these three cars (A4,Z4.E-class) push the boundries any further. Its just the same old good standard....

better quality feel and materials

What kind of feel are you looking for?

Me personally if the nobs are tight the wood is smooth and the leather is comfortable...I'm happy. As long is nothing is looks or to the point of breakability...then I'm ok.

Was their something wrong with the e-class nobs...did anything feel plastic....What exactly went wrong in the car that made you feel it lacked a "certain" quality?

Oh my this is a Z4 thread....but you can tell me about the e-class and Z4 too then...

Now that the new Z4 has started to make appearance at the streets of Stockholm on a regular basis I think it is time to say something about the looks.

It is marvelous! The presence is stunning and out of the colours I have seen (dark blue, silver, black and red) the black is the best. It looks a lot more mature than the toy-car that is the old Z4 and if BMW had any intention of moving towards Mercedes with this car I think they have managed that part very well. It has a feeling of a small SL up to no good over it...

 

[Zafiro]

HoH, I suggest you make your own observations. I've explained myself about Z4, A4 and E-class somewhere on this board before, directly after I studied these cars. I cant remember the details but its somewhere on this board. Let's say, I simply wasn't impressed.

First I must excuse my English since it's not my language. I happened to be in the 2 Z4s. Interior feels are different in 2 of them. One with the Extended leather has a much better feel than the one without it. The extended leather dash area has a superb and luxurious feel to it while the normal one is just plain plastic. So I think it depends on how you spec your car, but for the base price I think it's a bit costly to get the plastic quality in the non-extended leather version.
just my opinion
peace

Best looking BMW in years....actually a beautiful German car....which is a rarity.

I agree, it's hard to find an angle where it looks even remotely funny

 

[PanterroR]

My god, what a beauty...

 

[Human]

MOST beautiful BMW on the road today, proportionally perfect and captures that powerful presence of BMW perfectly....simply perfect!

If the coming 6er can do all this that the Z4 does....then....ahw...

 

[Zafiro]

The new Z4 is popping up everywhere. In my little town there are 4 of them and 1 red Z4 sdrive35is.
What a stunning car that Z4 sdrive35is. Clearly the best looking roadster on the street today.

Love it!

Well executed without being overdone. Those wheels look stunning (not a huge fan of the red painted calipers though)

Roadster yes - but if they would really build a Coupé, the car has to look like the Z3, Z4 and M Coupés and not like a Roadster with a Hardtop cou can't open.

I agree, would love to see a fast back like the Z4 instead or a shooting brake like Z3, but at this point I will take anything with a fixed roof.

Shooting Break or Fastback, it's both much better than a normal E89 with fixed roof like that chop....though it's beautiful I must say.

 

[Centurion]

Will a niche Z4-M emerge from the brain stroming sessions at the M factory now when the 1er M Coupe is set to skid on the roads?

 

[Merc1]

This is one of BMW's most beautiful designs ever. I doubt we'll see an M version though, the Z4's market just isn't there. Every car in that class has hit the skids in the U.S. relative to past years.

I found another Z4 Coupe rendering on BMW blog:
