最近， X-Tomi Design发布了2018款宝马Z4合成图，从图片看，新车很多地方仍与现行版一样，包括前大灯位置和超大尺寸双肾格栅。不过，该车进气口则类似M Sport版本的5系车。但新车不再采用金属硬顶，而是采用了织物软顶。如果有人认为，折叠金属硬顶是比不可少的，那就选择别的车型吧，诸如马自达MX-5 RF或者奔驰SLC等等。另外，新车仍将称为Z4，而不是像某些传言的那样，称为Z5。另外，新款Z4不会增加M版车型，提供两种引擎，分别是2.0升和3.0升涡轮引擎。其中Z4 sDrive30i搭载B48引擎，而Z4 M40i搭载B58引擎，这两台引擎都标配后轮驱动和八速ZF自动变速箱。
2018 BMW Z4 (G29) Rendering Mirrors the 5 Series Design
We know some stuff about the new model, but not everything. For example, we can tell you that it won't have an M version of that two powertrains will be offered, one with a 2.0-liter and the other a 3.0-liter turbo. We're talking about the Z4 sDrive30i with the B48 engine and the Z4 M40i with the B58 engine, both coming as standard with rear-wheel drive and an eight-speed ZF automatic gearbox.
Unlike the outgoing model, the 2018 Z4 will have a fabric top. So if you think folding metal rooves are a must, go for the MX-5 RF or the SLC... as long as they keep making it.
We can also tell you that it will be called the Z4, not Z5, as some of the rumors suggested. There have already been two generations of this car, so BMW is trying to build some heritage at least.
This latest approximation of the 2018 Z4's design comes from X-Tomi Design. Some of it is current, like the placement of the headlights and the oversized kidney grilles. However, the air intakes have too much in common with the M Sport versions of the new 5 Series. For a better idea of what the bumper looks like, you guys should check out some spyshots.
