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?

it reminds me a bit of the BMW GINA concept car from a while back. the front not so much but the rear quarterpanel has almost exactly the same shape. And the windscreen isn’t all that big just like the concept car.
the bmw gina concept was really a z4 bag edition
Proper… You sure about that, seeing it in the day would be nice
“Proper look” ?
Looks like I’m still drunk from yesterday…
Where’s the kidney grille?
Actually it doesn’t look too bad. I hope that new Supra won’t look like that ugly FT1 concept.
that looks surprisingly neat
I’d like to see a full-on Z4 M with the 4.4-litre V8 from the M5 and M6. Would be insane - possibly an F-type SVR competitor
Its so beautiful.
August 17? Thats tomorrow cant wait
When you say “the new z4” does this mean it will still called the z4 and not the z5? If so then that’s kinda lame
