I think it looks better than the roadster. I agree with Former NXMX5 I like the Caymans looks better, but I don't know if I'd say it's a better car. I always thought BMW should have come out with a fastback, or sloping roof line on the Z3. with the wide rear fenders, add a "duck tail" rear spoiler and it would have looked like a baby viper...(sorry babyviper).
