The BMW Z models are a line of roadsters manufactured by German automaker BMW. The Z stands for Zukunft (German for future), and has been produced in four different series with six generations consisting of roadster, coupé, sports car, and concept variants.
The introduction of the M Coupé and M Roadster in the Z3 line marked the first of the Z series to have a high-performance BMW M variant. The first generation Z4 also continued to offer M Coupé and M Roadster variants. The current Z4 (G29) uses BMW's (B58B30) inline-six, its platform is the basis for the current Toyota Supra.

Yes. It's a part of DSC system.
Yet I'm not sure whether it works also when DSC is activated, or only in OFF mode (like in 135i & 123d).

Very hot and the rims are cool
But is it just me or do all the shut lines look quite wide?

Some actually do....must be a pre-production car or something
It may also be that the colour makes the line stand out more, but as for the hood one?

had chance to seat a few minutes in z4 at dealer. 
first impression is that car really looks like in pictures, and finally quite close to , the current model. evolution rather than revolution.
quite roomy in the cabin, and seats very low, so "giants" will feel at ease in this car, also given all the seat controls available with sport car. seats seemed also quite confortable. am 1m86 and enjoyed seating position.
Dont know if the car came with some audio package, but sound average as rear speakers are behind seats.
cabin atmosphere is "woo" factor. HOWEVER, rather disappointed by some plastics , and extended leather.some panel adjustements are poor as spotted in the thread for the US z4. was told this is not a pre production car...
The car came with the "white" extended leather. leather on dashboard and top doors looks quite cheap, ok personal judgement but Doesnt really feel like premium car (particulary compared to the same option in porsche boxster). Some commands are also not "soft" touch, eg air conditioning. Finally, plastic of bottom of doors is very but very cheap, even cheaper than in series 1 model ! so, it is obvious that bmw went for some savings in cockpit quality, lets hope it is at least well screwed together. i really wonder how dashboard and top doors look like without the leather extended option.
ok, this is first impression, but have the feeling that perceived quality is below a series 3.. pitty. otherwise, again the car looks really great, agressive with amazing cabin atmosphere.
pitty also that z4 has poor consumption figures, there is a big difference between a e92 325i and e23i. there should not ! quite amazing for a brand which is gaining reputation for good performance / consumption ratio, seems z4 is going backwards.
anyway, temptation is high ... for may delivery
