Sun, 17 May 2009 16:48:50 +0000 http://www.bmwblog.com/?p=8452#comment-126881 The part of the frame above the windshield (header?) is too low to feel good for me. Maybe this is because the windshield slants back too much. Thus for me the overall feeling is one of slight claustrophobia: the top of my vision, while not obstructed, is distracted by the windshield not going up high enough. Cabin width is fine, performance excellent, and design stunning, but inside the car I feel a bit constricted at the top of my forward vision. We'll keep our 06 X-3 and I'm ready to trade my 01 525i for something new, but not for the Z-4, beautiful (and expensive)as it is. Guess I'll wait for the 2011 funfer.

But I must say I am a little disappointed with its look on those pictures... On pictures from Detroiot and on official pictures it looked much better ... I guess I will have to wait one month and then when I see Z4 in flesh I will make a choice. I hope it will look better than on those photos. Im the one who is waiting for new Z4.

Can we place bets on the retail of the lower displacement model's MSRP for the U.S.? I'm guessing it will be $40,995 for the lowest U.S. model Z4 with the turbo'd one going for $44,995.
