Default 2019 BMW Z4: What to Expect
" As it stands, expect the new Z4 to ring in around the same price as the last-gen model at just north of $50,000 and move up from there when it hits the streets, likely late next year."

Just north of $50k for a base model means $75k "enthusiastically equipped".

It's unclear which company led the development, but this car has a twin called the Toyota supra. Joint venture between the two automakers.

"On 10 February 2014, Toyota submitted an application to the United States Patent and Trademark Office to renew the Supra trademark.

In June 2016, a trademark application for the Supra nameplate was filed with the European Union Intellectual Property Office. According to Autocar, the new Supra is set to debut in 2018. The car will likely feature an all-wheel-drive hybrid system; four-cylinder engines are expected to be available, with a high-performance version to use a twin-turbo V6 codenamed 943F.Kleine Zeitung reported that the new jointly-developed Supra will be produced at a Magna Steyr facility near Graz, Austria, along with the BMW Z4's successor. Although the sports car's name is yet to be officially confirmed, Toyota global chief engineer Tetsuya Tada said that it will likely carry the nameplate Supra, due to its name recognition and historical significance."

Best Sirs,

Bob

I suppose if it's made in Austria, it would be more bmw than Toyota. Perhaps my joke goes more the other way.
