Bigger, Badder 2009 BMW Z9 to Hit Market in 2009
BMW may have shut down production of its range-topping Z8 sports car in 2003, but the German engineers who came up with that car clearly haven’t been sitting on their hands. Word out of BMW is the company is working on another super-sports car, both in coupe and roadster configurations, which will eclipse the Z8 in performance and bad-boy attitude.

This illustration reflects the direction BMW is believed to be taking with the design of the new car, which is expected to hit the market in 2009.

as opposed to the vagina inspired Audis that are commonplace on our roads in america. cross reference the TT or a4

I don't know about the rest of you but if this is the new Z9, then I feel a little let down. The Z8 had instant collectability written all over it. I've dealt in classic and collectable cars for over 10 yrs as a hobby and as a career. There are not many modern day automobiles you can look to and say "that's going to be worth something someday". The Z8 was one of those rare exceptions. I'm sure the Z9 will perform extremely well and sell well but it lacks character, uniqueness, and the overwhelming styling flair of the Z8. The Z8 was a rolling piece of art with little details everywhere that appeared almost as jewelry in the design. If you are one of the lucky few that own an Alpina Edition, please take care of it. Someday you will be glad you did.

Couldnt agree more. The Z8 was a beautiful car. I loved that it stood out from the rest of the lineup, as a car in that class should. It was a real masterpiece. This lacks the special something. It looks like it could be the next gen Z4 coupe.

let's keep in mind that these are artist renderings of the "direction that BMW is believed to be taking" with the z9...there are a lot of "ifs" in that statement. I say we wait for photos.

I think the initial photoshop release is beautiful, but we'll see how close it is to the actual car.

i hope it looks better than this, the front styling looks too basic, i prefrer the looks of Z8, 8 series, and 6 series

Looks nice,but they can do so much better than this!!

They should bring back the older designs with the pointy nose's and the four separate headlights and put that in a modern jacket.

Hope some picture's of the new M1 are coming soon...

NA Runner.. I said inspired.. not "looks like". But then again, youre probably a young boy who went to publci school in this country and wouldnt know the difference. Maybe take an after hours program Sonny?. Suggest english and math.. you do have the SATs coming up dont you?

you're right about one thing, I did go to public school...and when i took my SATs (8 years ago) I did good enough to get learned at a hunky dory university, and gets meselfs a job and i must've really got lucky cause now they're trying to give me this thingy called an MBA? i don't know what it is, but it sure sounds lovely...

what do you think i just fell off the turnip truck moron? go pop your viagra a start jerking off to the photoshop of this Z9 you'll never own, gramps.

oh and I get it now, the Audis are INSPIRED by vaginas,,,I get it, kinda like you and your hot shot personality must have been inspired by a dick even though you don't actually look like a dick (or do you)...thanks for the lesson and clarification, i'll have to see if they can add that analogy to the SATs

AmazingBimmer is to dick as Audi is to ___________

This car needs a lot more refinement this has to be a photoshop photo I am looking forward to this model.

This is ugly, If Bimmers ever get there exterior and interior better (Like Mercedes), coupled with thier world class performance, they will have the best cars in the market..This is definitly not the step in the right direction..

"If Bimmers ever get there exterior and interior better (Like Mercedes)," are you serious? Both are purely subjective, and IMO BMW has way better exterior and interior design.

I dont know, I find the Bimmers interiors...raw..I have been inside an M5 several times, and it is no where as nice as my CLS..Serious BMW has an extremely pale interior..Now for the exterior, a realise its subjective, but I cant help but think Bimmer models have the worst designs, especially compared to Mercedes line-up..Just my opinion..

OMG, It's nowhere near as beautiful as the Z8~!

IT may be photoshoped but it looks good. I think this is a safer design if it is actually what's on their drawing boards.

I disagree with the Z8 being more beautiful. However it was definately unique. The engine grunt was sexy.
