Default This issue AutoWeek features the Z4...

I'm not buying that drivel that it looks better in person...cause it is ummm, to my eye at least, seriously "esthetically challenged". The interior, dash and instrument pods especially, looks like a '73 Pinto. No "M" version either. "New" BMW "looks to be floundering".

I'll pass {(it)rather quickly I might add}

Default I have to disagree with that. I saw one at the dealership last week and..

...thought it looked every bit as bad if not worse in person. It's a horrible design.

Default It's pretty effective in person...

...but it has some hideous and some beautiful details. It was at the Seattle Auto Show; it looked like there was a longer line for the TT Roadster, honestly. I really like the sharky front end and all the creases on the rest of the car. The side markers are behind the big roundels on the fender panels; I think this looks sort of bad. The car is a very snug fit for me (6'/195lbs) and the interior's design and layout is uninspiring.

I'll bet the six-cylinder is nice, but I'm happy with my TT. I'm glad I didn't wait for the Z4.

I agree. I saw one at Tischer a couple weeks ago, probably same one you saw. It's hideous.

Default Subjective. I'm no design guy but from a subjective point of view

I kind of like it. I actually like the hard line on the side. And I hated the clown shoe Z3 - for me this is a big improvement.

I still hate the rear of the 740i. So there!
