Why are the headrests 2 different colours?

I watched a video recently where a supercar being shown had a different colour driver seat vs the passenger. It was a styling cue to denote that the driver is the important one, or something like that.
I think it works, little odd, but it works.

The back end lets it down for me. Just too much 'styling' going on with all of those creases.
I'm really liking the side profile, but the both the front and back are looking far too "concept car" for my liking. As said above, they've let the designers spend too much time designing it.
I imagine it'll change a fair bit before we see the production version. I really want that orange paint though.

Lighter than the previous model apparently:
"The new Z4 is made from a mix of high-strength steel, aluminium and magnesium, which helps make it lighter than its predecessor despite the increase in size."

as long as they get the price right? If it's 60k + it'll be a hard sell and compete with ftype etc in my opinion.
if it's more along the lines of 40k then it's gunna be interesting.
I doubt it'll look like that tbf, it'll be much softer and "safer" once out.
Hopefully they come out with an M version too.

Hope they don't pull a Porsche and offer only 4Cyl, A good sound track from a good ol Straight six that makes these cars feel special.
Soldato
there's hope
but you never know, I won't hold my breath till I get the official RRPit'll have same engine offerings that the current e89 does, so 4cyl and 6cyl turbo
Soldato
is that official bmw statement? or "est"

Well you know it's not official, but I imagine they'll be closer to the mark than your £60k+ estimate

Like that a lot. Hopefully an M version will come. Pretty please BMW.
I normally dislike convertibles, but won't deny that Z4 looks ace, if it can remain similar looking for final production will be ace, even better if a Z4M and I mean proper M comes out. Imagine it essentially with M2 running gear and weighing similar, would be a fun drive.

If even BMW are creating promo videos about it, then surely this concept design is a go?
IIRC the M4 concept also had people going "no way will that design make production", but look how that turned out!
