It WOULD be amazing if they made the Z5 drive, and feel as spritely as the M2 but I just don't see that happening. As another member mentioned this looked like awd. I personally would hate that. But considering the new head of BMW is from Audi, and Audi sells more A4 cabriolets, and TT's than the Z4 ever sold, an awd Z5 would not be all that surprising. anyways I'm glad to see more of the shape of the car now. It does have some S2000 resemblance which isn't bad, imo.

So I over laid the side shots of the coupe and roadster. Looks like the two will have the same wheelbase. The coupe "Toyota?" appears to have a little more of a over hang. Unless there is a fake bumper over the real unit.

New renderings of Toyota's version.

When my lease is up on my i8 in November I'm going back to the dark side. If BMW made an SL competitor, I'd get the BMW sports car. But BMW won't. On the other hand, I don't have to limit myself to an SL. (I had 3 in the 1990s.) This is what I'm going to get.
I'll keep the M4 too. For the laughs and the 2 extra seats.

Update: February 20, 2017
BMW test drivers decided to take advantage of a warm balmy -14 C Swedish winter day and finally give us a look at the Z5 convertible with its soft top down.

Holy rotor size!
Anyone notice the humongous rotors? I've owned cars with wheels smaller than those rotors (15'' Miata track wheels).
Car looks like it's got great brake power. Question is - what's the curb weight on that if it needs so much brake? I'm guessing over 3400lbs.

The Mercedes shiftronic that I had on my CL55 AMG sucked. The DCT on my M4 is sufficient for me. I'm a geezer.
