Also talk about the new engine, SLT63 and 503hp. And lesser new engines like 5.5liter 388hp.

In the same link is the new Z4 coupe. Should arrive with the new minor facelift and M version of Z4.

I really hope Mercedes never build this car. Would unfortunately be the ugliest Merc on the market.

The Merc pick-up is the ugliest on the market. This is alright by comparison.

Well the pick-up isn't on the market yet and IMO it just looks like a pick-up nothing more or less.

at least i wouldn´t care if it looked like trabant, if it had NA 6.3liter V8, 503HP and the drive was good. But even if it had the power and looked good, buth handled like shit, i could not care less about the car. That is one daring concept, and i like it. MB build it, dont be bore

Shooting breaks! That's what they call to this kind of cars.

And I love them! I like the S2000, the Z4 or the Boxster, but I think I would never buy them cause they are convertibles. So, this coupe versions are perfect. The Z3 M Coupe was awesome !!

MB and BMW have gone made, damn, they need to relax a bit .

That SLT is

please MB don't do it, I really don't understand, I've read that MB was planning to cut costs with their CORE managment to iprove MB quality and in 2007 they will (thank god) stop the production of the c sportcoupé, and now this thing

but I actually like that Z4 coupé, much more better than the current Z4.

BMW - Make it
MB - Don't

The Z3 coupe might have been one of the first BMWs that were either loved or loathed but i certainly think its mean looking and an exclusive car to own. The new Z4 coupe or whatever the final name when and if it is ever produced ratains the characteristics that made the Z3 coupe so special. It looks like nothing else in the market and if the engines available are going to be the high capacity inline six then the exclusivity factor is going to be there too. I am currently looking for a second hand(obviously) Z3 coupe(3.0) but this new Z4 coupe makes me have second thoughts. Does anyone have any info on the Z4 in English?

bmagni · 06-02-2005, 02:42 PM

wow, the z coupe really looks nice, the slt isnt that bad IMO, but not good enough to release it.

noosee · 06-02-2005, 04:52 PM

Z4 Coupe looks great.
Can't say that about Merc.

You're wrong! There's a Porsche Cayman coming out, Audi will made a version like this based on the new TT. So there will be 4 cars, at least

FINALLY the Z coupe is reborn, although i must say it has lost some of its original charm. They way the sloped the back and tried to make it look more like a standard coupe rather than the hatch back doesnt really appeal to me like the original but still i'm glad its back.

SilviaEvo · 06-02-2005, 10:30 PM

i dont like either of them very much. but they might grow on me. not sure at the moment.

sads · 06-03-2005, 01:36 AM

I don't like the MB at all but the BMW is gonna take time to grow on me. I like the convertable versions of both cars but they look a bit strange with hard tops, but seeming the Z4 coupe is gonna have the new M3 V8 it'll get my vote for sure.
