Front. . .


I just think that the front looks too plain. It also reminds me a little of the Audi TT from the front. It's interesting how they designed the rear and sides more aggressively and the front the opposite. IMHO, I'm not that fond of it's exterior design. From my point of view, the s2000 looks sportier and consists of cleaner, flowing body lines. Maybe pictures don't do it's justice, but from just pictures of the different angles, I think BMW missed the mark with the Z4. It's a shame since BMW has always made great cars that looks very appealing to the eyes. I'm sorry, but I give it:

To me, the design of the:
s2000- Hammerhead Shark
Boxster- Dolphin
BMW Z4- Sperm Whale

I think Former has a good observation here; if you can fault our S' design in any way it may be in the stance: maybe short, high, and tubby. Otherwise, it flows with pure poetry. The Z4, no matter how I look at it, still gives me a migraine. It looks like it came in 2nd in a knife fight and got its butt cut off, but it does sit low. Prof

I guess for me the whole discussion boils down to this; when I was shopping roadsters, it was between the S2000 and the Z3. The Z3 lost because it was less sophisticated and more expensive. If it were today, I wouldn't even consider the BMW.
