I went to see the Z4 last weekend and I thought it was nice in person, very
nice. Photos don't really do it much justice. While it's true that it's not
in the mold of old BMWs I still liked it, especially the interior and the
rear is much improved over the Z3
I always hated the Z3 and others thought it was a great looking car. To me
it was just a very busy design and my eyes bounced everywhere and no focal
point or lines to lead the eye. I find the opposite true with the newer car
and the fact it has less geegaws like those vents on the side and the
heavily sculpted hood. I didn't like the grill and I thought wire mesh or
something else to get rid of the 'teeth' in the grill would make the front
nicer.
What it all comes down to is: Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
I also think the G35 coupe is handsomer than the 350Z. I like the
proportions better.
