BMW unveiled the Z4 concept at the Pebble Beach Concours dā€™Elegance last year and the model is continuing its slow march to production.

Spy photographers caught our best look yet of the interior with the model sporting a fully digital instrument cluster, a freestanding infotainment system and new switchgear. The overall styling is tamer than on the concept but it gives us a pretty good idea about what to expect.

Reader films new Z4 near its production location

Recently caught by Konrad FĆ¼rdank and passed onto us by his friend Steven, this prototype was caught on video while traveling near Graz, Austria. This is certainly an interesting location as the city is home to a Magna Steyr manufacturing plant. Reports have suggested the company would be building the BMW Z4 and Toyota Supra so it isnā€™t too surprising that models would be testing in and around the city.

Weā€™ve seen countless spy photos of the Z4 over the past few months and the latest footage gives us an extended look at the carā€™s rear end which features slim taillights and a dual exhaust system. The model is also slated to have a sporty front bumper with a wide twin kidney grille and sweptback headlights.

What engines will power it?

Engine options remain unconfirmed but Europe is slated to receive an entry-level variant with a four-cylinder that produces 197 PS (195 hp / 145 kW) and 320 Nm (236 lb-ft) of torque. In North America, we can expect a slightly more powerful base model with a four-cylinder engine developing around 250 hp (186 kW / 253 PS). Rumors have also suggested there will be a 3.0-liter TwinPower Turbo six-cylinder engine with outputs of approximately 335 PS (246 kW / 330 hp) and 385 PS (283 kW / 380 hp).

The BMW Z4 is expected to be unveiled this summer before being shown at the Paris Motor Show in October.

Meh, not a fan of the sharp-angled speedometer and tach layout in that display. I see why they have gone for that shape as it echoes shapes seen elsewhere in the cabin, but round dials just look classier in everything short of a Lambo.
