The current Chief of Design Adrian Van Hooydonk gets much of the credit for recent BMW's including the One Series, new 3 Series, 7 Series Refresh as well as the new Z4.

that there's quite a bit of BMW 507 in the new Z4?  |

Replying to: andys120 (Dec 17, 2008 9:54 am) On some cars there's a crease that comes off the top of the front wheel opening and carries forward to the front of the car. I always liked this look. In fact, it was one of the things that attracted me to the '57-58 DeSoto and Chrysler. I also like it on the '61-62 Cadillac and '59 Mercury. Ford did it as well in '57-59, Studebaker did it a few years, and countless others, I'm sure. |

Replying to: fintail (Dec 17, 2008 10:25 am)  I like it, mind you, but it's styling, not function. I like the next Z4 from the pics too. Didn't much care for the prior one. I liked the Z3 a lot; neighbor next door had one for a while. I tend to like "chick" cars - minivans, Miatas....
