Amature pics of the BMW Z4

College freshman Shahin Tabassi got more than he bargained for on the way to finals this week. Tabassi found himself driving next to a 2003 BMW Z4 on the highway. He grabbed his camera and managed to get a few pictures before he arrived at his college in Southern California.





This second generation version of the Z3 will be officially introduced at the Paris Motor Show in late September, and is expected to be at dealerships as early as October or November. Measuring in slightly larger than the current Z3, the new Z4 will move up a notch to compete one-to-one with the likes of the upcoming SLK and Audi’s TT.

Sources tell us the new Z4 will be available this fall with a wide range of in-line six engines, with the fours added six to twelve months later. The powerful 343-hp M version will be added for the 2004 model year.

Looks dope!

But boy do I hate soft tops!


Definately have to reserve the "I'd buy one" until I see the new SLK.

gotta hand it to BMW, I personally don't like their cars, but they really got some gonads for taking the first step out on a limb with their love it or hate it styling. I applaud them. Honda is cool and all, but they are too scared to make a styling statement, their whole lineup is starting to look like the mercedes of japan from the rear.

Not that bad, when you consider he had to drive the car at the same time.

I tell you this much, considering that 90% of the cars coming out look like shit, i would take this one in a heart beat.

the back does kinda look like the S200 (which is not a bad thing) and the front looks almost like the Z8. not a lookin car but i'd have to say ill take one in silver w/ the M engine. it gets a thumbs up from me.
but....
isnt the next SLK32 AMG gonna have some rediculous amount of HP like 390 or something? the redesigned SLK would blow this outta the water. supposedly improved the trunk room and overall length and alot of horsies to push it. hopefully these styles dont turn into chick cars like the previous gens.

I like it, but it looks like an S2000 from the back.
