Thanks to Marc and Zpost.com, we have the fist uncovered photo of the 2009 BMW Z4. The car was spotted at a BMW dealership, location unknown, and unfortunately it is not a very clear shot, but…this is the best we have seen so far.

Stay tuned for more!

Hat tip to Marc!

F***!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow. I actually like it. very chiseled and stream-lined. It does seem to cut out a bit of the body bloat on the current Z4.
Gragop

The nose reminds me a lot of a 507 too.

Its ugly… i dont like it…

Call me crazy but that dude in blue looks like he’s about to fall over.

Looks weird in a good way.. I like it. Can’t wait for more pics.

@SCOTT27: I tried to email you, it failed, I wanted to tell you something.

Front end looks jacked up. Probably euro pedestrian safety regs at work again…

Very “snouty” and long in front. Side vent + light + propellor badge + “sdrive” badging too fussy. Wheels too fussy too. Not sure the eyelids work on this car. Waiting for more pics…
Brookside

The front is more defined than I’d expected…in a good way.
Very anime…as if you are staring into an evil looking face.
I’m impressed.

First thing anyone will do is de-badge the side vent. :)

@Eric
For me, the eyelids don’t work on ANY of the cars…

and of course there’s some stupid guy in the way of seeing the entire roof!

Trust me guys, it’s just a bad photo, the car definitely looks better than seen here. All the recent spy photos are relevant and the proportions are a bit larger than you can see in the blurry photo.

Oh, and it’s definitely better looking than a Z3 :)

one problem is the circular reflection in the headlight, really throws me off
Lance

Nice car, sharp design. But somehow, the car looks very small when comparing to the people standing around it. But I love the design.

Seems to have a long overhang in the front, hope it didn’t catch a cold from acura. looks good, but must see from other angles!
Tim H

guy in the blue “stratigically” placed so you cannot see the top
Auday

Lets wait for the good photos, this one looks very promising to me, I like the front

SHARK !!!!!

weird eyebrows on the headlights

@Tim H: @Tim H:
Absolutely! The photo is as carefully staged and framed as a Hitchcock film.
BMW PR got game.
Diego

I love it.

Woow, this one looks awesome! It’s much better than the current one, although still not as “classic” looking as the first gen. which was also my favourite Bimmer.

I remember seeing it in the 007 movie. That was a nice vehicle.

Well, I should see more shots before judging the vehicle.

But so far, it’s a great done job.

WTF it looks very weird

The car was spotted on an upcoming Michael Douglas movie Solitary Man. My thoughts? I will reserve judgement until i have seen the car personaly. I was extremely disapointed when the new BMW 7 series pictures were reveilved. But after seeing the car in person, i went out and paid my deposit for a 50LI! So, i think this car will be awsome. I think BMW is taking the right direction.

@Josh B: Interesting. I’m wondering if Douglas had any idea that’s the new Z4 or if he even cared :)
BenC

yesssss it came out lolz, i love the new headlights, very sharp and slim. Almost like the new Maserati GT. I cant wait to see a better pic of this
Gragop

@Horatiu B.:

He’s either too old or thinking about his hot wife and not worrying about the new Z4. :-)

Panel gap running from upper right of wheel opening above side-vent to door is strange. Wonder why they’d switch to 2-piece fender where everyone uses one….
matt

the return of old z3 style, didnt made a mistake to go with old z4, this new 1 looks 1 million time better
Lawrence

The car looks F****** butt if you ask me. I’m really starting to loose interest in BMW, I might just officially become a Audi man and just purchase the fastest wagan in the world, the almighty Audi RS6 Avant. This new Z4 looks very meak and weak. It looks like it has a serious case of malnutrition! Lol! I HATE IT! DAMN YOU BMW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
JJ in WNY

Man!!!… I can’t wait to see how much (even) cooler the new Z4 will look w/ whatever M-aero kit they offer for it! Also… if/when the make another Z4-M… Those are always so much badder a** looking than the ‘everyday’ Z4!!! BMW is def on the right track!!!

I’m also really looking forward to the new ‘entry level’ Z2, assuming that’ll be unveiled next month also– they’ve been even tighter-lipped on the Z2!!!
