2010 BMW Z4 Heads To Munich

We've seen the 2010 BMW Z4 testing all over Germany, including the Nürburgring where we saw it ripping up the track. Or at least ripping up a track as much as a plastic camo-ed car can. But now the new Z4's traded in the racing cleats for some dainty little city shoes, at least according to these up-close shots of the Bavarian cream-roadster cruising the streets of Munich.

2010 BMW Z4 Interior

Whoops, looks like fräulein Helga parked the 2010 BMW Z4 mule in the wrong place at the wrong time. Several very nice interior shots have surfaced showing the layout and interfaces of the pending Z4 revision. The dash is still covered in a thick felt and that blue and white propeller on the wheel is taped over, but there's no mistaking some elements of the new car. More »

2010 BMW Z4 Hits The Ring

We're assuming Motor Authority's handsomely rewarded their spy videographers for providing the Aussie-run site with some great new video of the 2010 BMW Z4 taking a run 'round Germany's famed Nürburgring. Details on the new look and style as well as video after the jump. More »

2010 BMW Z4

The 2010 BMW Z4 has shed the clunky body cladding and slipped into a skin-tight psychoactive anti-spy wrap that's making our eyes go all cross. Maybe it's because it wanted to look good for some track-time on the Nürburgring. The reason for the change is unknown, but let's ignore the swirls for a moment, because with all the bulky covering now out of the way we can get a better picture of how the shape of the car is being exaggerated even further into a long-nose short-decked sports car. Also clearly apparent in this latest round of spy photos is the final shape and break lines on this new hardtop convertible version of the upcoming model. We're waiting with baited breath to get our grubby mitts on the twin turbocharged inline six model. [WorldCarFans]

2009 BMW Z4 Reportedly To Come With Hard And Soft Top

We have it from our good friends at BMW Blog that they have it from their good friends that the 2009 BMW Z4 is going to come with both a soft and hardtop, similar to what Mazda does with the Miata. Those in sunny climates can have their lightweight softtop. Those in areas where the weather gets a bit rougher can opt for the hardtop. Abortions for some, tiny American flags for others. Horray!

2010 BMW Z4 Spied In Germany

Has the current BMW Z4 got too much duck tail spoiler for you? Perhaps a little heavy on the flame surfacing action? If so we have good news for you, it seems the 2010 BMW Z4 tones things down with a more elegant approach to sports car design. At least that's what it looks like to us from the spy photos over at The Car Connection. After negotiating the maddeningly annoying gallery you can see details of a more lithe design emerge. More »

Forbes Autos Drops Top Ten Luxury Cars for the Ladies

Forbes Autos is up to the list-making again, giving us the top ten list of luxe cars with the primary driver being a woman. While not as sexy as the men's list, the vehicles are more practical and comfortable, and packed with a lot more Volvos. Interesting to note that our favorite Saturn designer, Miss Vicki Vlachakis is quoted in the story about quality, "I think women have such a good eye for detail, the attention to detail is really important on the interior; on all of the key driving interfaces such as the gauges, shifter area, steering wheel and seats." Yeah, what she said. We accidentally put Vicki's gallery below the fold, along with the Forbes list, cause after all, who the heck wants to sit through Forbes' boring traffic baiting when you can sit through ours?

We don't care how great the 3.0-liter version is, we're not spending a dime over $2,000,000 for a BMW Z4 and that's that. [AutoTrader]
