BMW Makes Thinly Veiled Announcement of All-New Z4 Debut at Monterey
BIMMERPOST NEWS BMW Makes Thinly Veiled Announcement of All-New Z4 Debut at Monterey BMW has just released the following statement announcing a world premiere for Monterey car week on August 23. Although not mentioned by name, based on Z4 prototype stage and what we know about its start of production (beginning end of this year), it is surely the all-new production BMW Z4 (G29) which we'll be seeing debut at Monterey. Monterey is also where the BMW Z4 Concept debuted last year. Quote:

How do we know it's not the new X7 (G07)? When is that model revealed? The Z4 is not an all new model production. X7 makes sense for a US reveal.

Sure the market has contracted, but the biggest problem was that the E89 Z4 was bloated, numb, and overpriced. Maybe if they had built a simple little sports car [like the Z3 and first iteration of the Z4] they wouldn't have had such poor sales. |

I'll be in Monterey on the 25th for the Exotics on Cannery row car show, wonder if there will be a way to see it?
Also, the Supra is aimed at competing with the 718, so look to that if you want a Porsche Cayman competitor. Supra was supposed to be a lot faster around a certain track or two than the Z4. |

They made a mistake by keeping the M Division away from the E89 (sans racing). Every previous Z that M touched became instant classics. Just let the M Division bless this next one and let the results do the talking.

The E89 was the first Bimmer to start the trend of numb isolating cars. The F01, F10, and F30 came right after which were all very un-BMW-like to put it kindly. All the SUVs got neutered as well. I'll only give the 7er a pass because of it's segment. |

The design of the new BMWs ends up being so anti-climatic. Early on, it looks like it will be something special, but in the end, the changes are subtle. Not necessarily a bad thing since many BMWs are good looking, but still.

Yawn. Unless this is blessed with some of the 228/230i brilliance, a manual transmission and a serious diet over the E89 generation it will just be another meh car.

first, BMW did not satey true to the concept which was cool, new, different. Loved the original design with two nice headrests and two tone (which was stunning!)
Secondly, they decided to go only for condom top and no hard top. Maybe a targa style will make it more interesting. Anyway, like many said, the design is a wash wash between Fiat and Jaguar, condom in the top, nothing new. They can keep it.... |
