the mini?s engines in a BMW? i don?t think so, the mini/psa engines are for cross installtion. the z2 will be rear wheel drive which requires lenghtwise installation

I hope it will be large enough for someone 6' 3" to fit in comfortably. The current crop of 2 seat convertibles is too small.

I can fit into alot of 2 seat convertibles and im 6'1. but you are right most 2 seaters are quite cramped when it comes to comfort. unless your buying an american brand 2 seater convertable then you will fit lol, american size! ;)

beautiful small roadster. love it. the Z4 has become way too large already. please build that tiny Z2 with that pointy nose - looks awsome. hope it comes like the rendering shows. that would be the first nice looking bmw ever. and nobody wants/needs big and heavy roadsters anyway. even a mx-5 is too big. so hurry up with that small and lightweight Z2. cheers! -

Z2 coupe would be pretty wicked. It would occupy a definite niche.

A close look shows the clues from current and former merc sports range here.

BMW convertiables are pretty hot but when they make them a coupe, they loose their sexyness

Finally a decent and traditionnal lightweight roadster, with a convenient manual drop-top that takes 1.5 seconds to fold, and 3.2 seconds to close, and has a decent boot. In addition it will be reasonably priced (considering it is a 2nd or 3rd car). Also considering the weight, any engine with more than 150hp will offer it enjoyable performance, whereas the Z4 needs 250+ hp to start being fun.
