When the Z4 Concept was released, on September 2005 at Frankfurt, we all knew that it was a prototype "very close" to production.

A couple of months later, Bmw officially announced that the Z4 Coupé would go on production. Now that the first official images have been released, we found that the production model is indeed very similar to its concept counterpart.

In the rear end, the main differences are the headlights and the different design of the rear bumper.
