Havard i still , cant believe the z4 was included in that article with those cars!

CARS lost all motoring credibility from that for me, i mean love it or hate it, its still a very clever and cool design.

We may be biased through.... :D

I am particularly picky when it comes to cars and although I bought the Z4M as a drivers car, she isn't ugly in the slightest. My cars either side of her are Toyota Supra in gunmetal grey and a white Cayman S on 20" wheels. I know a pretty car when I see one.

Well I must have no taste as two of my cars are on the list! (Z4 and the wife's beetle!)
Clearly an article not founded in fact- if the beetle for example was so wrong then how come it sold in that guise for 12 years, not many cars have that length of lifecycle these days!

If I had a dollar / pound for every time someone told me how great looking my Z4 was I’d go buy a Z4M cash just to have another one to show off. The guy who wrote that article is clearly an idiot . Even Jeremy Clsrkson, initially not a fan of the E85, said a while back that he now thinks they are a strikingly crisp and modern design, or words much to that effect.

Z4 is an awesome design. The only 2 "design" faults are the dials being bland and boring like 99% of bmw made prior to like 2016 compared to some that have full digital displays like the s2k and the roof motor placement if you'd consider it a design issue.

But even small things like the spot lighting at night time. This was from 2003. As a comparison Ford only introduced this in 2013! Plus the plain simplicity of working on the car is light years ahead. Come work on my "car of the year" and hot hatch of the year for few years running a Fiesta st...I dare you. It's a f***ing pig of a design.
Other stupid crap that won tons of "design" awards take 2hrs and a full bumper off job just to change a friggin head light bulb. Most of these critics are simply very short sighted. Hence why they work for a 2nd rate magazine.

Yep no Z yet. On the hunt.
