If BMW wants potential F-Type customers to opt for the new Z4 they better make it at least 74" wide if not 75.7" like the F-Type. And it's not just the presence they need to worry about - the F-Type (both V6 and V8) sounds unlike any BMW made in the last decade.

Agreed on the sound front - that and the overall look are the main strengths of the F type. The steering is pretty numb, for example.
Not sure BMW is too worried le concerned about sound though, if the recent cars are any indication.
