The BMW Z4 convertible may not be around for much longer. Despite stronger-than-expected sales of the manual version over the last few months, rumors suggest that the sporty roadster could be phased out in the coming years.
However, if this rendering is any indication, there might be one thing that could save it: BMW's Neue Klasse design language.
Digital artist Luca Serafini—known for the striking Concept C SUV from a few weeks ago—has reimagined the Z4 using the Neue Klasse aesthetic. And surprisingly, it works.
The rendering incorporates the production front end of the BMW iX3, featuring slim kidney grilles and a sleek design element that connects the headlights. The body receives subtle updates to better match the refreshed fascia, while Serafini adds a matte silver finish and unique wheels. It looks gorgeous.
Sadly, this stunning Z4 almost certainly won’t make it to production—as much as we can dream. While BMW has confirmed that its Neue Klasse design language will extend beyond EVs to all new models, te don't expect the Z4 to receive a redesign.
Back in 2022, rumors circulated that the Z4 would be discontinued by now. However, BMW has decided to keep the convertible in its lineup for at least one more model year. The unexpected success of the manual version in the US has temporarily boosted sales, giving enthusiasts a final window to grab the roadster before it’s gone.
Looking ahead, the 3 Series is next in line for the Neue Klasse treatment. After the launch of the iX3 SUV, BMW plans to debut the next-generation 3 Series in 2026, with the high-performance M3 expected to follow in 2027.
