Inside is actually pretty straightforward. It's very car-like, with a collection of physical switches for certain vehicle and infotainment functions. There's a somewhat-standard-looking shifter in place, and an infotainment screen that rises from the dash just as it would in other new Bimmers.

Of course, there are some ridiculous flourishes in there. There's a lap timer built into the bottom of the steering wheel, the gauges look like they're from a different decade, and the seats are two different colors -- and two different materials entirely. It's a very serious car, since it's destined for production, but BMW still had a load of fun putting this together, it appears.

Being a concept, BMW didn't really delve into powertrains. It's believed that when the Z4 comes to production, it will carry both four- and six-cylinder engines, like most of the rest of BMW's lineup. The Z4's underpinnings, which were developed in a joint venture with Toyota, will also live on as the next-generation Toyota Supra.

It's a weird world we're in, where a BMW Z4 can also be a Toyota Supra. But if BMW's concept is any indicator, it doesn't matter who helped develop the car, it's bound to be a stunner

Looks pretty good but this is just concepts will see if they can make it look the same on production line.

Looks like a fucking Lexus

Garbage

>doesn't look like total shit
For a modern BMW, that's certainly something different.

Ridiculously high belt-line ruins the car imo

First BMW in a long, long time that I don't hate the way it looks.

>>17734414

Since it is German, It will look like them with few impractical stuffs like stealth handles removed.

>>17734383
Wow that Maxima convertible looks awesome

I had low expectations and this surpassed it by a lot.

It would be funny if Z4 looks better than new Supra.

that driver centric interior design kinda reminds me of the supra interior

I think it is inspired by the original Z4. I still think it looks great.

So fucking good.

Just checked the readout, we are still trapped in the timeline of maximum mediocrity.

I knew as soon as I saw the readout display mechanism was still located in the bathroom of a KFC.

Looks like a Mercedes but uglier, quite the achievement

Ok is my mind playing tricks on me or is this absurdly wide?
I want to know more about the numbers on the width/length of the car.
Why did every car since the z3 need to get larger and larger.

>>17735747
that is not a roadster though.
it's a 4 seater convertible

This.
Mercedes V8's literally sound like old men's wet farts.

>>17738458
Bmw already confirmed that there wont be any hybrid options for the supra

>>17734383
not bad. Really the diffuser at the front is what should go, and it probably will in the production model.

>>17734383
>>17735747
BMW looks slighty less awful but still pretty bad. would get an SLC instead, unironically.

>>17734383
it's the first time they are letting go the 4 round headlights, kinda sad

>>17738887
the entire front end will not stay because of muh pedestrians. expect soap.

>>17738855
most of /o/ can't even afford a 18k FiST.

>>17738855
o is poor AND can't work on cars so a new bmw is not an option.

>>17738906
I just hope it won't be i8 level of soap.

>>17738901
slc43 is auto only, has an open diff and has a V6, so boring.

>>17738939
I drove the one of my boss and in sport+ (?) mode it was the best roadster I have ever driven by far. easy to drift too.

The headlight's remind me more of the new GEE TE ARU's.

>>17737887

Well, Aston Martin is inept now. They outsource almost everything to MB.

According to the review of DB11, it is really good and better than old ones.

>>17738863
I know right, it reminds me of Lexus' engines. Geezer's wet farts.

>>17738498
Holy shit

>A full-blown M version of the roadster, running the BMW performance car division’s 425bhp twin-turbo 3.0-litre in-line six-cylinder, has also been mooted, but it has yet to be officially confirmed by BMW.

>True to tradition, the three initial Z4 models retain the rear-wheel-drive layout that has been part of the two-seat roadster’s appeal since its introduction in 2002. Buyers are set to be offered the choice of a six-speed manual or eight-speed automatic in combination with all engines.

>six-speed manual confirmed

>Meet the future: Many parts of the Concept Z4 are already very close to the serial version

The light red soft top will be hidden behind long drawn-out hooves with an integrated rollover bar. In the short tail are duckbürzel, carbondiffusor, 3D-LED taillights, bullige exhaust tailpipes and in the center in between a small red lamp - as with Supersportwagen. The 20-inch wheels integrate cleanly into the wheel arches.

So the next summer can come. We look forward to the first ride.
