Return of the Clown Shoe, Z4 Coupe.

Murf the Surf · 05-20-2023, 11:40 AM

I have a soft spot for Clown Shoe.

Murf the Surf · 05-20-2023, 11:41 AM

Concept, but let's hope.

First BMW since Bangle I've liked. Bring it to the US.

I don`t know, Murf

. That thing looks awful to me.

The Clown Shoe is a polarizing thing.....no worries if it aint your cup of tea, I'm not right in the head.

No, you`re right in the head

Everyone has different likes and dislikes, that`s what makes this world so wonderful

.... I`m just not seeing it. It looks like a Mercedes GLA to me, minus 2 doors

If I look at this pic, the rear part behind the rear axle looks just too bulbous:

The original one was more elegant in that place:

So imho the design definately still needs some work.

I like that it's a little bulbous...has a Ferrari FF vibe.

Smart looking coupe, anyone heard a price?

It's a concept. Doubtful that it will ever make it to production.

NickyC · 05-20-2023, 05:10 PM

Way too awesome looking, no way BMW will make it. They're only into god awful ugly now.

LOL.........

BEST LOOKING BMW in a looonnnggg time
i like it

zachdog · 05-20-2023, 09:24 PM

No buck teeth, so it’s already better than the current design trend.

JustinHEMI · 05-20-2023, 10:34 PM

If they made one final version of the Z4M coupe, I would be in, no doubt.

Marcoose · 05-21-2023, 12:37 AM

The actress is stunningly beautiful !

BMW already made that, it's called the E86 Z4 Coupe.

This car Murf has shown, is impressive.

chassis · 05-21-2023, 06:38 AM

Believe it or not, it channels Ferrari 812 lines to my eyes...

Not bad. I don't see myself owning one of these, but not bad.

I am challenged to connect with the angles, lines and visual embellishments BMW is using across their product lineup these days. Their brand design language isn't speaking to me.

I like the interior design and leather/"leather" trim elements. If they pull off the concept interior design in a production version this would be nice.

Does the rear render panel make my butt look too big?

Big butt aside, it looks like squashed X1. An updated Z4M coupe would be preferable.

File this one under the "everyone has nostalgia for it, but ultimately won't buy one" category.
