2016 BMW Z4 Exterior
The BMW Z4 has always been a head-turner, and this one is no exception. The front end of the car is mostly unchanged except for the re-profiled headlights and Z-shaped cross-section with deep-set bonnets and side vents. The rear end has received a slightly flattered deck, making the car look more muscular overall.
