Reports out of germany are surfacing about the Z2.
The car will be based off the 1-series in order to create a very light and fast on its feet roadster which which come exclusivly in a ragtop configuration in order to keep weight down and to distance itself from its older Z4 brother which is moving to a convertable hardtop design. Some of the plans are even calling for a purely manual top in order to further reduce weight (although an automatic top function will likely be available as an option).
Going along these lines, the car will be designed around the company's versatile 4 cylinder engine lines including the 1.6l that will be shared between BMW, Mini and Peugeot.
In terms of styling this car is said to be very sharply designed and will make the current Z4 look like a bubble, the angles will be as razor sharp as possible, and the car will be very distinctive. This part of the report is the most speculative and should be taken with a grain of salt.
Hopes are the car would be come out in 2011 and the BMW board of directors is set to make a final decision on this car within the next few months.
