"The shortest time a BMW has ever gone before being reworked. "
Understandable. The auto press slammed its styling and the sales slumped when the 7 was restyled (it just so happened to coincide with the failing economy - so was it the economy or the styling that was to blame? Discuss).
RE: the Z4. It looks good from the rear quarter, looking down on it a bit. How do i know? My school's gym is on the third story, looking right down onto Huntington Ave. From the rear, it looks too S2000ish, from the side it looks like crap. From the front it looks even worse.
The Boxster also looks incredible from the same best-angle as the Z4. Given the choice, even if price were a factor, I would pick the Boxster hands down every time.
IMHO, the 944 looks best from above, looking down on the rear end. It is my favorite angle of the 944, it just looks so sleeeeek. The 911? Well, the turbo (930) looks best from straight on at a slight angle, so one side's wheel arches are really prominent.
