Nice car for sure. Was looking at the Z8. Yeah, I know practically it doesnt matter, but emasculating the car by limiting it doesnt seem right to me.

At first, I thought it was ugly. But, it's growing on me. Unlike the Z3, the words "masculine" and "muscular" come to mind. I think BMW may have done right. Time will tell.

The car looks good - it's a little unusual, but like you said, it grows on you. The engine's pretty impressive as well, but it doesn't come close to the Z8 of course. Then again, neither does the pricetag :D

I like it. I think it looks a lot better than the Z3, which looked too cute for me.

Here are some more pics!

Edit:

Z4 vs. Z3
I'm gonna go fetch a towel before clicking on those. Don't want any drool getting on my keyboard :D

Yeah, I like the Z4. It does look nicer than the Z3, but the Z3 isn't all that bad. While I wouldn't be caught dead in a Pontiac Aztec, I would be caught dead in a Z3..... whatever that means.

I am in love with this car. It's so sleek, and muscular, like a well-toned woman :) Whoever designed it is a genius and deserves a reward.

The really good news is that the price of 2002 models will drop by almost two-fold by 2007 :D

Exactly...it looks much more "agressive" though I can't stop thinking of sad clowns when I see that front view :(

I think I'm due for a test-drive...we'll see how it feels next to my S :)

Too bad the skin covering the car doesn't do its performance justice. The lines on that car are horrid.

I forgot to mention, here are some Z4 pics I took at a local BMW dealer.

People should refrain from comment until they see it in person!
