It was about time we would see some footage with the next generation BMW Z4. A couple of weeks ago, BMWBlog was the first to inform their readers that the new Z4 will come with both a soft and hardtop.

Since then, there were a few more Z4 spy photos going around the web, but to our surprise, the fellows at Motor Authority managed to grab some live footage of the Z4 being tested at Nurburgring.

It seems to be the same prototype that has been driven around Munich, but it looks pretty impressive on the Ring track.
