This is still a two-seater car, albeit more practical than before by accommodating a spacious cargo area in the back, helped by the nearly flat roofline. What\u2019s old is new again considering those wheels send a strong ALPINA Z8 vibe. It\u2019s worth mentioning the car wasn\u2019t fully built by Magna Steyr like the regular Z4 as the one-of-a-kind coupe was hand-crafted.<\/p>\n<h2>Inspired by the BMW Z4<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/bmw-touring-concept-coupe-photos-12.jpg\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-451775\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/bmw-touring-concept-coupe-photos-12-830x553.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"830\" height=\"553\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/bmw-touring-concept-coupe-photos-12-830x553.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/bmw-touring-concept-coupe-photos-12-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/bmw-touring-concept-coupe-photos-12-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/bmw-touring-concept-coupe-photos-12-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/bmw-touring-concept-coupe-photos-12.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\"\/><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-medium wp-image-451775\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20830%20553%22%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/bmw-touring-concept-coupe-photos-12-830x553.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"830\" height=\"553\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/bmw-touring-concept-coupe-photos-12-830x553.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/bmw-touring-concept-coupe-photos-12-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/bmw-touring-concept-coupe-photos-12-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/bmw-touring-concept-coupe-photos-12-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/bmw-touring-concept-coupe-photos-12.jpg 1920w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The grille is wide but not overly tall since it retains just about the same proportions as the regular Z4\u2019s kidneys while adopting a new pattern with dual vertical slats.
