A full set of pictures for BMW's all-new roadster has gone out ahead of the car's reveal in California

We’re not supposed to be seeing the all-new BMW Z4 until later today at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, but thanks to a leak, we’re getting an early glimpse. And we’re not talking about a set of low quality snaps where the individual pixels can be counted within a few seconds: nope, Bimmerfile has published what looks to be a whole damn press pack’s worth of high-resolution images.

First impressions are very good: it’s striking yet pretty, with the kind of aggressive surfacing that’d get former BMW design boss Chris Bangle rather hot under the collar. At the front there are some massive (hopefully real) bumper intakes, wide kidney grilles and triangular headlights.

Further round, there are those delicious door kinks we were getting excited about on the teaser image, plus some pretty monstrous gills just behind the front wheels.

Will those lovely rear buttresses stay for the production version? We’ll have to wait and see, but they may well be toned down, as will other extravagant details like the oh-so-thin wing mirrors, the slender rear light clusters and that heavily raked windscreen.

Given that the new Z4 is being produced in a joint venture with Toyota that’ll also spawn a new Supra, the guessing game as to what will appear on both cars starts now. The interior for example, beneath outlandish details like that excessively deep-dished steering wheel, is unmistakably BMW-ish. Will it be changed for the Supra? We’ll have to wait and see.

What the images do reveal on the inside is a large, floating central screen, plus another behind the steering wheel making up the instrument binnacle.

What we’re fairly certain about the Z4/Supra sharing are engines: both will have ‘30i’ and ‘40i’ engines inline-four/inline-six units, most likely with 248bhp and 330bhp on tap respectively. A recent leaked document seems to show that the BMW would also have a lower-powered ‘sDrive20i’ version of the inline-four, and - unlike the Supra - will have a manual gearbox option.

So, CTzens, we ask you: now you’ve seen the concept in full, what do you think?

Just like the new 8 series I really dislike it. The grill seems way too large and the entire front end for me is a big miss and I’m pretty iffy on the rear. BMW have been a bit spotty lately for me

What’s wrong with CTzens nowadays?! Someone have different opinions than them and immediately gets downvoted.

The shape of those headlights doesn’t really look BMW-ish…
Everything else is 👌

It’s got a very Jag F-Type front. From those lights to even the shape of the bonnet
