This Might Just Be The 2019 BMW Z4
With all the Supra-related rumours, leaks and teasing comments from Toyota VIPs flooding the Internet recently, itās about time we talked about the carās platform mate, isnāt it? Weāre referring to the new BMW Z4 - which has been jointly developed with the Japanese sports car - and as luck would have it, we have a pretty major update to bring you today.
The car isnāt supposed to be revealed until the Pebble Beach Concours dāElegance later this month, but thanks to these leaked images posted on Instagram by user @liucunyi, we get to take a look at the car in M40i guise from the front, side and rear.
As expected, it shares much of its styling with the Z4 concept revealed at the Pebble Beach show last year, with one notable retained feature being particularly imposing kidney grilles. Other details have been toned down though - the headlights are much larger, for instance, and predictably, the teeny, tiny wing mirrors have been dropped for a bigger, regulation-friendly pair.
Like the top-spec Supra, the M40i version of the Z4 is expected to be powered by a āB58ā twin-scroll turbocharged inline-six producing at least 335bhp. Thereāll be an entry-level four-cylinder model, too.
What do you think of the new Z4? Let us know in the comments.

Always loved the Z4 and now it just keeps getting better!
Well it looks like someone at BMW messed up.. really bad..
When a slk and 124 have a baby.
So I guess the Fiat 124, Mazda Mx-5, New Supra and new BMW are all the same car
I guess the styling department was on strike that week.
Literal brick on wheels.
Looks pretty good. Maybe if it had a slightly more pronounced ducktail spoiler and a structural hardtop that wonāt crush people of up to about 6ā4ā (Doug DeMuro), this car will be great with a 335hp engine. Please tell us it will have a stick, too. DCTs for absolute speed are great, but a car like this needs a stick.
If a Fiat 124 and SLK had a babyā¦
is it just me or does this realy look like a MX-5/Fiat 124 with a hideous Bodykit?
My wallpaper for last year and a half! <3
