The journey from concept to production isn"t always an easy one, and our immediate hunch is that the BMW Z4"s was particularly fraught. From a clean, simple and sophisticated show car, this is the third-gen Z4 you"ll actually be able to buy. Does it look a bit like an old Mercedes SLK in its proportions, or is that just us? Either way, we"re intrigued to see it in the metal. We"ve certainly got our fingers crossed that the Toyota Supra it shares its platform with has a cleaner transition into the showroom The fundamentals beneath the styling all sound good, mind. This First Edition a Z4 M40i gets a turbocharged 3.0-litre straight-six engine with 335bhp, driving the rear wheels via a paddleshift gearbox and an electronically controlled M Sport differential. We"re told 0-62mph takes 4.6secs, while you can bet your house the top speed will be a limited 155mph.
