You already know what it's like to drive BMW's new twin-turbo Z4. Feast your eyes now on its flowing blue lines beneath a huge summer sky.

The car pictured here is the same model Wes drove for his First Drive piece in May, the Z4 35i with the N54B30 straight-six engine found in large number of modern BMW’s which slot in just below their M counterparts in performance.

Like the vast majority of road cars, the Z4 is not quite at home on a track, but that didn’t stop photographer Balázs Fenyő from shooting it against the walls of the pitlane at the Euro-ring. His pictures reveal an intricate play of lines and surfaces, quite water-like on this Interlagos Blue example.
