Ya sure, I've heard that argument before. The next boxster will probably have a larger engine with (hopefully) 350hp+. The mid engine handling of the boxster will not be matched by a front heavy Z4.

I'd Looooove to buy one BUT I will NOT buy one. Same with replacing my current E46 M3 with a new one.
I guess BMW believes my mentality has devolved after owning BMWs for 25 years.
Why does BMW think I would want to drive around in and be seen in an overly aggressive-looking car that is intended to resemble an angry reptile? fk!

Did he confirm the V8? I'd love to know if they plan a Coupe version too. I always prefer a Coupe over a Roadster, but I know they've been slow sellers...

Yes, but that's because they built it ugly, not because they built it as a coupe per se!

I agree about the E36 version, but the current one is no uglier than the Roadster imho...
