BMW's long-awaited Z4 has broken cover ahead of its offical Pebble Beach unveiling, with a series of leaked images purporting to reveal the finished product hitting the web.

The leaked images reveal a Z4 in M40i trim that doesn't stray too far from the concept revealed last year, with the same long bonnet and short rear-overhang and with a wheel perched in each corner. The crazy concept wing mirrors appear to have been toned down for the production version, but the swept-back headlights and body-integrated taillights have made the final cut.

The interior photo shows a full-digital driver's binnacle hidden behind the steering wheel, while the central screen is integrated into a glass-look dash element that the driver's binnacle to give the impression of an unbroken digital interface.

We will know more when the Z4, which was developed in conjunction with the incoming Toyota Supra, is officially unveiled at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance later this month, but we know already that BMW's roadster is expected to launch wth a choice of four- or six-cylinder engines, with the latter reserved for the M40i and good for around 250kW/500Nm.

Will you be lining up for a Z4 or a Toyota Supra? Tell us in the comments below.

Andrew Chesterton should probably hate cars. From his hail-damaged Camira that looked like it had spent a hard life parked at the end of Tiger Woods' personal driving range, to the Nissan Pulsar Reebok that shook like it was possessed by a particularly mean-spirited demon every time he dared push past 40km/h, his personal car history isn't exactly littered with gold. But that seemingly endless procession of rust-savaged hate machines taught him something even more important; that cars are more than a collection of nuts, bolts and petrol. They're your ticket to freedom, a way to unlock incredible experiences, rolling invitations to incredible adventures. They have soul. And so, somehow, the car bug still bit. And it bit hard. When "Chesto" started his journalism career with News Ltd's Sunday and Daily Telegraph newspapers, he covered just about everything, from business to real estate, courts to crime, before settling into state political reporting at NSW Parliament House. But the automotive world's siren song soon sounded again, and he begged anyone who would listen for the opportunity to write about cars. Eventually they listened, and his career since has seen him filing car news, reviews and features for TopGear, Wheels, Motor and, of course, CarsGuide, as well as many, many others. More than a decade later, and the car bug is yet to relinquish its toothy grip. And if you ask Chesto, he thinks it never will.
