According to Shawn on Fchat this is not going to be a shooting brake:
While searching around Maranello today (1/4/2011) trying to see if I could find some places that might have vintage parts, I happened to see the new car testing.
Attached are the photo's taken of the vehicle.
The vehicle is not a Hatchback or shooting brake. The rear portion of the car has a canopy that is disguising the rear. It inflates and deflates at speed and when stopped, you can see the canopy drape onto whatever is holding it up - not a body contour.
A couple of things to note:
The car is Light Blue - all the Red you see is body tape
The passenger side has some type of bulge covered in the camo around the front right wheel. Lights for the rear appear to be similar to 599 lights.
You can see where the red coloring near the rear of the side window builds above the body contour to create the look of something larger or a rear hatch configuration.
The sound of the car is unbeliveable, especially when downshifting.

Yep. I think they missed with the Z4 iteration, but the Z3 version was a frickin' hoot when new. And I loved the interiors. Didn't the MY00 cars have the S54 engine (2001-06 M3)?
