The stylish new concept is the automaker's interpretation of what the purebred sports car of the future should be.
"The BMW Concept Z4 is an all-out driving machine," BMW Group senior vice president of design Adrian van Hooydonk said in a statement.
"Stripping the car back to the bare essentials allows the driver to experience all the ingredients of motoring pleasure with supreme directness. This is total freedom on four wheels."
However, the reality is that the Z4 Concept is really a thinly veiled precursor to the upcoming production Z4 sports car that's expected to launch sometime in 2018.
And at first glance, the new Z4 certainly looks promising.

The production Z4 is a joint project between BMW and Toyota. The platform will also underpin a Toyota sports car that's expected to be the long-awaited successor to the Supra.
According to Car and Driver, the Z4 will be powered by a 3.0 inline-six-cylinder engine with as much as 360 horsepower on tap. Fortunately for enthusiasts, it is expected to be available with a traditional manual transmission. Unfortunately, the Toyota is rumored to be only available with an automatic.
