A new, entry-level roadster based on the 1-series and powered by a range of economical four-cylinder engines may be brewing at BMW.



The company's board of directors are expected to make a decision on the car by the end of the year, and if it's approved it could be in production in time for the 2012 model year.

A Z2? Will there be a Z1 too? Where is the Z3? Oh, right... that's now the Z4. How many variations on a theme is BMW going to produce? BMW is diluting the brand with so many models.

with the new Z4 costing $50-70k there's certainly room in the model lineup for an entry level, lighter, cloth topped roadster that is more of a "pure" sports car and runs in the $30's.

That get to the issue of where you're gonna position 6 series. Conv 3 is 4 seats, roomier, hardtop, faster, and handles better. What's even worse is that 6 is plainly UGLY.

BMW's product lines is a mess now, reminding me of GM or TOYOTA :)

There are a lot of complaints about their motorcycles, too, including "polarizing" transformer styling (R1200RT), and more final drive failures than customers would like.

Finally!!! a Z3 replacement since the Z4 moved upscale and out of many's price range. The Z3 was a classic in the British Sports car-sense.
