You really don't like the old one, don't you tyc ?

I would buy Z4 3.0si Coupe over the new Z4 becuase of driving dynamics. But of course the new Z4 looks a lot better than previous Z4 Roadster. I hope it comes as a Coupé one day A Coupe has the cool factor the Roadster is missing.

Andreas, you and your driving dynamics...

I'm 10000% sure the new one drives just as great...and it looks 10000 times better too...

You really don't like the old one, don't you tyc ?

Definitely...

The new one looks so gorgeous in photos, but left me a bit underwhelmed in person. The first, and usually most reliable, local review here was not positive either.

I liked the old one, but this new one is a new favorite....an Allstar in my book.

Talk about change. The old Z4 is very dear to me and is one of my favorite designs ever, but I'm astounded by how aged it appears next to the new python. But it doesn't have the obsolete look if seem on it's own without the new model on the radar.

Nice show! I wish the car was rather blue than black! The new Z4 in Deep-Sea Blue Metallic looks beautiful!

 

[LaArtist]

talk about making a huge improvement..
even though the car on the pics is very low spec

The new on is something not seen on a BMW in years, very sensual....achingly attractive. Too bad I haven't seen in it person beyond the normal dull silver/grey BMW used for it on the show circuit this year. I'd love to see it in Black, Red and Dark Blue or some kind of rich Green.

In this pic you can clearly see that the new Z4 has grown a lot in size (and weight)

Kind of looks like they gave the old Z4 plastic surgery.

Overall I like the new car better than the outgoing car. But there is still some lingering attraction that I have for the old car.

Something about the old Z4 which just makes it more special!

I think its the shape, it's much cleaner than the new one, it's much more slower and anchored down like a proper sports roadster

Old Z4 for me in a heart beat.

 

[PanterroR]

^Your taste sucks.

Not at all, I feel the Z4 caters to a much much smaller group of people when it comes to design, it took me a while to accept the way it looked too. I find that a lot more thought went into the design of the E85 than people give it credit for; where as the new one seems to use lines that will be more universally accepted. Personally I find the E89's profile to be a bit bloated while the E85's is defined and lean. The E85 will surely be more of an icon than the E89 I know this.
I like both cars but the original is what really does it for me.

I want previous Z4 3.0si Coupé but there are only 5 of them for sale in Sweden.
No doubt we will seeing more of the new Z4 on the streets.

Very much so. It's Bangle's biggest trophy is the very car that defined BMW's modern progressive design. You have it right there, BMW's design philosophy in a nut shell; captivating, debatable, courageous and innovative. Ironically I hated it when I first saw it, but overtime my appreciation for it as a design piece came to grow into eternal applause for Bangle in orchestrating and approving the design.

The new model is a refined evolution with a more "universal appeal" and less controversy. Same clean design can be seen in the X6 which features a safe but very well crafted design.

^To each his own i guess...
