Pics of possible new Z2 - ugh

Post by Ci »

I have to say the pics I have seen of the 'possible' new Z2 roadster, are of a revolting looking car. What is with BMW? Mazda must be laughing all the way to the bank... Maybe 2016 and as ugly a sin. Where has style and cool gone?
Stick with my ancient Zed methinks.
Views?

On the drawing board (virtual) for some time but seems now to be in the development stages, looks good so far!

I like it. Short and purposeful looking and with circa 250 HP should be quite quick too.

From a production viewpoint it makes sense that it is based on the 1 series platform. I find that new shape BMWs grow on me over time and become beautiful.

Not sure about an all electric version though as mentioned in the article. Do the sensible/prudent people who want an electric car also want the fun of a two seater convertible?

I think it looks good, with some nice motor options when it's launched.
