BMW are currently developing the next generation BMW Z4,it is likely to have its worldwide unveiling at the Geneva Motor Show next year before it goes on sale later in 2009 as a 2010 model. Prototypes spotted in the past have used BMW's annoying signature camoflage making analysis of the model difficult, so to aid you in this process we present a couple of new renderings featuring a paintwork that is much easier on the eye.
The chief rivals for the all new model will be the Mercedes SLK and Porsche Boxster, BMW will continue to offer a large range of engines which will include the twin-turbo 3.0-liter from the 335i and the Z4 M is set to get a new 4.0 liter V8 from the M3. There are also rumours of a diesel being available.
As with all new models, engines are likely to benefit from the application of BMW's EfficientDynamics program, so expect some excellent fuel economy and emission busting figures to come out when it is released.
Additional photos of a 2009 Z4 prototype can be seen on the right hand side and you can also catch a video of it here.
