Default New BMW Z4...Nice

Check out the new Bimmer. Looks pretty nice IMO. They finally got rid of that A-pillar "crease" that ran down the front fender. Retractable hard top not too shabby either.

Not bad, I just have never been a fan of the z4, it reminds me of a shark.

but then again if you like sharks that is a great car!

The Volkswagen roadster looks nice as well!

A diesel that gets 40 mpg, with decent power.

Though it does look like a Boxster,

I kinda like the Z4, wouldn't be embarrassed to drive it.
The VW Bluesport will be a cool car if they for sure build it.

I think the last VW Sportscar was called the 914.

That VW looked to be very close to production at the NAIAS. The interior looks very far ahead in it's development. I don't give a crap about the fancy eco-friendly powertrain, if VW can produce a ~250 HP mid engined roadster for about 30 grand that looks like that they will have a huge hit.

As for the new Z4, the outside isn't as polarizing and the interior is much nicer than the previous car. Still very expensive though.

Still don't like the Z4 - haven't like Bimmers period - over priced for what they are. Still an Audi fan.

Haven't met an old Alfa owner yet that is into BMW's - wierd?

We had a 2003 Z4 and like our Crossfires the motor and trans are bullet proof. At 5'11" I fit better in the Crossfire than the BMW and lifting yourself out of it was even more of a task. The car sits too close to the ground and my wife and I nailed that low front end with curbs all the time. The side lower panels (plastic rocker panels) are also low and the front tires can actually throw things up and knock them loose. Overall a good car - but as a daily driver the body takes a terrible beating.
Today with Crossfire prices the way they are - the new BMW Z4 at $45,000 + does not seem like a wise investment for the same type of ride -- basically.

I would rather own a BMW that looks like a Sky than a Skye that looks like a BMW

it DOES look nice, but the pics make it appear that the car is growing larger ... which, IMO, isn't necessarily a good thing ...

I really like the new Z4 especially the 335 twin turbo!!! I liked the original but felt it was underpowered and despised the ragtop but now that's all been solved. I might have to pick one of them up in the future.
