Here's Your First Proper Look At The New BMW Z4
Here it is, ladies and gentlemen: the BMW Z4. In a surprisingly revealing teaser image, BMW has previewed its new roadster, which will make its debut at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance in California on 17 August.
It’s a bit of a looker, isn’t it? With wide kidney grilles and triangular headlights it has quite a striking face, and we’re digging the aggressive kink at the rear of the door line.
Codenamed G29, the production Z4 is set to arrive in 2018, and yes, as you should know by now, it’s been jointly developed with Toyota, with the Japanese manufacturer’s end of the deal resulting in a tin-top Supra successor.
As revealed by a leaked document, the new Z4 should come in ‘sDrive20i’, ‘sDrive30i’ and ‘M40i’ variants, with the first two powered by turbocharged inline-fours and the latter powered by a turbocharged inline-six. Weirdly, while it seems the Supra will be automatic only, the Z4 will have a manual option.
All should be revealed on Friday. For now though, what do you think of the way the new Z4 looks?
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

Because the Supra will probably be a hybrid it will be Auto only but if there’s a gasoline model a manual is likely
I dont think i like those DRLs, but the angles and lines are very attractive. Looking forward to the reveal.
‘Bout time.
Finally?
It looks BEAST
Hey, do you guys ‘member when Top Gear reviewed the 2003 Z4 and the Alpina version and the Alpina version was slower than the original?
