This rendering once again shows us how the rear of the forthcoming Z4 may appear. It has the reversed shoulder line as we had discussed in the past as well has the hard lines from the front. BMW’s use of design cues from the CS and also the GINA concept are apparent in the overall style of this car.

After the surprise reveal of the GINA concept last week BMW gave away some more design details for the upcoming Z4. Left Lane News set their illustrators up with some of the recent spy photos, some commentary and the GINA concept. What they came up with is a very accurate, though not perfect rendition of the upcoming Z.
Notice the decrease in flame surfacing and the reverse broken shoulder line as we had pointed out a last month. Overall the car looks more elegant and larger than the soon to be decommissioned model. July will ring in the end of the American 2 seater as the new model will be built in Germany.
You can read more about the E89 Z in our past post here and more about the interior here.

Sections: E89 Z4 Roadster May 8th, 2008 11 Comments There are some new photos showing the Z4 interior around the web. Our friends over at BimmerPost have a bunch of them and some exterior shots as well. They are great shots but they do not show the whole story.
This photo shows the car loaded to the gills with technology. With the pop up iDrive like the 1 (with the new controller), shift paddles and notice that joystick, that is the non- //M DCT. What you do not see is the e-parking brake (the BimmerPost photos has that shot).
So it does appear that the Z4 will be moving upscale in the interior department.These technologies will free up space and give the car a cleaner more modern interior. These are all welcomed changes, but if Bond was to drive this car how would he rip up the e-brake to make a turn and shoot the bad guys?
(Passenger viewed in the photo is an optional accessory but may hinder driving ability and 0-60 times!)
We recently revealed several unique performance features the E89 will be equipped with and further information; here

Our sources have given us some clues to what the lines of the car will end up being and if you look closely the lines are there though muted. It will have the reverse of the CS broken shoulder line. The front line will go down towards the rear wheel arch and stop and above the rear wheel arch the rear character line will come down towards it but not intersect. 
The car is going to be much more aggressively styled than the soon to be released 7 and takes many cues from the CS. Construction of the new Z4 will utilize lighter materials such as the full aluminium front end like the E60 and additional aluminium body panels. Even the folding hardtop will be a lighter steel than used in the E93 3er Cabrio.
