The things that would lead me to believe that are
1) the alloys - they just look a bit too small for an M version
2) rear tyres - too narrow for an M
3) the interior - i know BMW doesnt make flashy interiors, but this one looks too 'normal'

As you say though, it does have 4 exhaust pipes....
Good points!

Well, the Ellipsoids that came w/ the 3.0i were already 18s. Those look like 18s in the picture. As far as the interior is concern, usually it is not much different, just a few splash of M here and there, like the pics. Steering wheel, shift knob, gauges, door sills, etc.

I like the interior though, nice simple clean matt black.

Wow, very observant. That is definitely the case. It is always on the right side of the car, never have I seen it on the left. Then again this is "suppose" to be just a concept.

IMO it looks like z4 3.0 with m sport package not like z4 m roadster. But overall design od car looks really good and specs of car is not bad.

Did anyone notice it has the old Michelin PS1s?? I agree about the car looking a bit dull, wouldn`t be surprised if it turns out much more agressive

Well - there's the key slot for the trunk on the right - so I guess it was easier to put the M badge on the left instead of re-designing the whole trunk
the M badge would still go where the Z4 badge would go.

you don't really have anymore room to talk RC. The Z06 has now destroyed all your price range arguments the styling of the C6 isn't all that great if you ask me. The C2 and C5 are the sexiest Vettes. The C6 has dropped to the design quality of the rest of the GM lines

Z4M? about bloody time IMO!

Nice to see they got the full M3 power in the roadster this time round.

VTEC?

Where we're going, Marty, we don't need VTEC!*

I guess it`s optional and IMO looks much better without it.

Love what BMW have done with the car, could have only wished for a widebody, but theres something nice about how under stated it looks. I'm sure it would go like the stink as expected.
