I do really like the Z4 interior. Its very different and pretty functional. WIth that said, the current Z4 and this freshened model, is one of the ugliest cars every built. It looks like its been in an accident already. It is a mess. I cannot believe people buy these things. Then in comparisons/reviews, its not even a sporty drive. The best part is the engine/gearbox.

I guess the new trend is the 2 air ducts on each side.....

I don't think the facelifted one shown here is much prettier, but it does look better than the current one, the creases are not as ugly & the head & tail lights are nicer as well . . .

It needed a facelift before it was released. At least the refresh doesn't make it look as though it was 4 different cars put together by a group of kindergarden students. Still looks a little "Bangelized"

I think that coupe needs the other ones tails and headlights. Then we've got something.

And they need to make an M Coupe again.

i'm one of the few ones that liked the Z4 too. i actually don't like this facelift. i kind of like the odd sharp cuts of the z4, this sort of makes it rounder. i like the rear led's though, gotta love the led's.
