The second major ingredient to the Z4 Coupe's fantastic interior is the use of real milled aluminum. Rings around the instrument cluster, the spokes on the steering wheel, rotary knobs on the HVAC controls, and door
openers are all milled from solid blocks of the lightweight alloy. The pedals are also made of metal, but feature black leather inserts for a decidedly retro look. Together, the aluminum and leather create a cold-warm relationship that's not only seen but felt.
It is very clear that the Z4 Coupe Concept vehicle is not only a driving device, but a vehicle that seeks the enthusiast's heart and soul, satiating all senses. If you like the idea behind the Z4 Coupe Concept, you'll probably be delighted to hear that it's almost certain to hit production. With many factors pushing for the Z4 Coupe, such as dwindling sales numbers of the Z4 and the fact that it's a cost-effective model, we highly doubt BMW would want to completely give away the two-passenger entry-level market to the competition, plus it opens the door to the return of the M-Coupe, something that's really worth getting pumped up about.
