I fear that these are the pictures of the final product.... Maybe the front and rear lights are a bit taped, but the form of the lights will stay the same as in pictures, I think.

But I'm just guessing.

Yes but just barely!!! :lmao: :lmao:

BTW, someone had posted a pic of a clay model from the Designworks a while ago.

Anyone have the link ?

OK, got it.

I see an unpleasant amount of design cues from the CS-1.

Woo Hoo My day is made:thumb: Mike actually likes my wagon better than some other vehicle, let alone another BMW:bigpimp:

Al, I like the CS-1 a little better then the Z-4

I'm actually starting to not detest the CS1 as much as I did at first. I still don't like it, and I think some of the detail elements are fussy, overly delicate, and just plain weird (for example, the "flame surfacing" is overdone, the sagging line between the fenders makes the car look like its melting, and the flat flanges around each wheel cutout just look cheap). But I like the return of the shark nose, and the overall proportions are good. It doesn't offend me like the E65 does.

The Z4, on the other hand, does offend me. The hood is cartoonishly long, and bulges up way too far, making the wheels appear overly small. The grille treatment is Z9esque, and I think we all know that isn't a good thing. If that all weren't enough, the "flame surfacing" is present and voting. The Z4, in short, combines the worst elements of the E65 and the CS1, without any of the (limited) positive qualities of either.

No sir, I don't like it. I was never a fan of the current Z3, but this is worse.
