BMW North American Boss Says Joint Roadster Won't Be Named The Z5 - What Should They Call It?

In case you weren't already aware, Toyota and BMW have been working together on a sports car platform that Toyota will sell as a resurrected Supra and BMW will use for a soft-top roadster that we in the automotive press have been referring to as the Z5. Turns out, that name wasn't very accurate. 

In an interview with AutoGuide, former BMW North America boss and current head of BMW Group Region Americas, Ludwig Willisch, set the record straight regarding what the upcoming convertible won't be called. "There’s no such thing. There will be a sports car, yes, but it’s not going to be a Z5. That’s something that someone else has made up."

I associate "Z" with Nissan.

Why not just go with the number of cubic centimeters in the engine's displacement? BMW 2500...

I think they'll really shake things up big time and call it the Z6...
