2010 BMW Z4 official image leaks
A single official photo of the 2010 BMW Z4 leaked online today, following the emergence of an amateur spy photo of the finished car just one day prior. This latest images — showing the rear of the car — was scanned from an official brochure. The other photo, showing a front 3/4 view of the new roadster, was snapped on the set of the upcoming film Solitary Man.
The totally uncovered Z4 was spotted inside a dealership showroom that will apparently appear during a scene of the movie.
From the two photos, it’s apparent the overall look takes some inspiration from the BMW Z8’s elongated profile and tapered roof. The new 7-Series’ front face is also evident, as are 6-Series-inspired taillights.
Earlier spy photos revealed the Z4’s interior, and despite some camouflage, a few details could be discerned. For one, it appears the hand brake is gone, probably in favor of an electronic setup. BMW’s latest automatic gearshift is present, and there’s some type of iDrive knob visible.
Most attention has been paid to the Z4’s exterior — and with good reason. Many of the polarizing features of the current Z4’s design have been toned-down, for what appears to be a much more elegant look. BMW’s radical design revolution hasn’t always been aesthetically successful, at least in the eyes of the BMW faithful. But BMW styling now seems to be hitting its stride, recapturing some of its former pleasing proportions. It appears that the steadying hand of BMW designer Adrian van Hooydonk is getting the beloved Bimmers back where they need to be.
Since the new Z4 rides on the same platform as the 3-Series, look for the Z4’s engine lineup to mirror the 3’s. A high-performance Z4 M will once again be offered and, for the first time, it is believed that BMW will offer a diesel-powered Z4. As we have reported before, the Z4’s production will shift from the U.S. to Germany when the new model bows.
