I'm not a big fan of the Z4's appearance, performance, or price tag, but it definitely turns heads... whatever that's worth.

Am I the only one that noticed that the pics of the rear seem to resemble a recent generation Mitsubishi Eclipse??? YIKES!!!!

And I am not all that turned on by the interior. I expected more.

I'm so confused. It seems so backwards. Since when does German cars start to mimic Japanese cars? I are more used to Japanese cars assimilating to German cars what a role reverse with the Z4. Too much like S2000 on the styling department for my taste, not that I don't like the S2000, I love it, just would expect BIMMER of all companies to lead not follow....wow my post is redundant......sorry!

Wow! I thought the Z4 was ugly before, but seeing it next to an S2000 really brings its ugliness out even more! YEEEECH!

I'm starting to wonder if I need to get an M3 before the next gen arrives...I'm fearful they're going to screw it up as well.

Thanks Airgate. So you didn't walk away excited and were happy to get back in your S?

Apparently, Mr, Bangle, has some rather nefarious plans for this car and, it seems, for BMW cars in general...

He has joined the chat here and posted this:

while I don't hate the Z4, I don't sing its praises. But the one used in "Hostage" (@ BMWfilms) looked okay. Especially with Clive Owen driving! One of my favorite actors
