Exterior is definitely an improvement. I like it. But what seriously gets me is that interior. Gorgeous!!!

Also this is probably the first BMW in my recent memory that comes stock with bad wheel fitment. Usually BMW is pretty good about that, but the Z4 needs a drop and more aggressive wheels STAT.

I think it looks great! Why can't Lexus build something more like it?

Meh, it's ok. I think the current still looks a bit better and the Z3 still trumps them both.
The interior looks pretty nice though.

The front is a big improvement over the current one, but the back is uglier. Overall I think it looks alright, not breathtakingly beautiful.
