BMW needs the Z2 because the bigger, costlier Z4 isn't selling as well as its predecessor, the Z3, did. That's why the product planners conceived the Z2, a more compact and more affordable entry-level roadster equipped solely with fourpot engines.
While the next Z4 has already been signed off, the Z2 has yet to be given the official go-ahead. The suits are still working on the business case, but the nod is expected before the end of 2007.

The Z2 could even spawn a wild Speedster version, with huge wheelarches accommodating wider tyres, a chopped roof and bespoke rollover protection. Also on the cards is a high-performance Z2M, with a high pressure turbo 2.0-litre kicking out 300bhp.

Expect the base Z2 to vacate the old Z3's territory. That means a price around £16,000. A compact, lightweight, rear-drive BMW roadster for £16k? What are they waiting for…
