There's this... The first two photos illustrate the original which has become fairly popular over the years. The rest are of the new version. Like it or hate it ? I personally like it (both actually). And of course, the matching luggage is a must!

The front bumper lies too low. Concrete curbs will eat it.

“Clown Shoe” was a good description of the original. The new concept looks a little better.

typical BMW "engineering" - but, if you buy this, your pockets are deep enough for multiple replacements ! Tho, it probably has air suspension where you can raise the front - until those mechanics go bad ....May 26, 2023 10:28:23 #

Yeah, you have to train yourself to stay back, but the car still fits nicely in the parking spot!

Maybe it has a proximity warning system for the front ! ?

My roadster did...a cringing scraping noise.
I got smarter after a couple years.

My inexpensive 2018 Honda Accord 2.0T's front bumper has been eaten almost countless times. It has been expensive to repair. However, I love the car!!

With a car like that you don't park it nose up to a concrete bumper, you park it well out on the lot where there are no other cars around.

Exactly. I despise door dings, especially on a nice car, and never park right next to other cars if I can help it. My ‘73 911 (Porsche) had a metal bar running along the bottom edge of the chin spoiler, sticking down below the edge maybe 1/2”. Painted black, it was nearly invisible, but would always hit the curb (or steep driveway) first, protecting the spoiler - an excellent design.

Yep.

I owned the second Z3 delivered in New Jersey .... it was a fun car to drive and it was impossible to park without people stopping to look at the car and ask questions .... even on the road, people would drive next to the car for a look ... it was fast only if it was dropped off a cliff ......
