2002–2008





A dramatic departure from the Z3's friendly curves. The E85 Z4's flame-surfacing design language divided opinion but established BMW's bold new visual identity.
History
Chris Bangle's influence was everywhere in the E85 Z4 — the controversial 'flame surfacing' gave it a muscular, aggressive stance. The 3.0si's inline-six was one of BMW's finest naturally aspirated engines.
