Z4: Hit or miss?

[crayzayjay]

Well? Have BMW hit or miss with the styling?

[S Brake]

I will wait for final judgement until I actually see the car in person, but it does look a lot better in BMW's new bmwfilms.com movie with clive owen called hostage.

[crayzayjay]

We await your final verdict :bandit:

h.i.t

I first thought miss, but it grew on me and now I'm leaning towards hit.

It looked good in the movie, but I saw one yesterday and they are SMALL like the Z3. I almosty ran over it with my Suburban...

[slikk]

i like it .. the movie from BMW films made me do it

hit

[crayzayjay]

I first thought hit, but i saw a road test on TV and the front didn't appeal to me as much as it does in pictures. I like the back a lot though.

They are SMALL like the Z3

I havent seen one in the flesh, which is when i will make a final decision on the looks, but on the telly it looked significantly bigger than the Z3

[Neutrino]

I love it. Much better looking than the Z3. Hope is not too small though. I guess i'll wait till i see one in person.

It is? I thought it was a big as a Suburban! I mean, isn't the point of the car to be huge, sluggish, ugly, and dangerous?

So you want the Z4 to be like the 7 series?

The Z4 styling cues are great, but it just needs some extra room in between the occupants and the cars around it. I wouldn't want to be in an accident in a Z4... and with the way people drive around here

[crayzayjay]

Its a shame theyre not making an M version of the Z4... i would have liked to see a meaner looking Z4 and of course performance to echo the Z3M's, which was a rocket.... :flash:

Oh well, im sure AC Schnitzer and Hartge will come up with a few concepts

[jinushaun]

I say hit. I think it's beautiful. A roadster is far more susceptible to outrageous designs like 'flame surfacing' than a regular saloon.

[crayzayjay]

I agree. Flame surfacing has a lot of potential. People who criticise it are boring, conventional b*stards

It looks a lot better in real life than it does on any picture. When I first looked at a picture from the Z4, I thought that there was something seriously wrong with the nose. Now that I've seen it irl, I really like it.
