We were half-expecting the next generation BMW Z4 to be revealed at last week's LA Auto Show, but instead, we got an eye-full of the new twin-turbocharged V8 7-series and its ActiveHybrid variant. Yesterday, came word that the new coupe and roadster would be unveiled sometime next month and now, we've got a date: December 15th. BMW has launched a teaser site at http://www.bmw.com/joy that seems to imply that the Z4 will come in a variety of vibrant colors. Either that, or BMW is trying its hand at producing a combination slasher film/laundry detergent commercial.
There's no actual mention of the Z4, or any other car, on the site, just this odd little video that you can check out after the jump. Expect more details to be revealed in the coming weeks and look forward to live photos of the 2010 Z4 from the Detroit Auto Show in January.

I've been driving an M5 for 8 years and my wife has an X3. We are partial to BMWs. That said, the new Z4 website is a total POS.

Just because you don't like to buy American doesn't make you and your wife an authority on website design.

I see some on here had a full serving of Hater Juice this morning.
I thought maybe this was BMW's entrance into a new slasher market. The Jason of the German automotive world killing new X-models.

I guess I'll be shopping at BMW for paint from now on.
Screw Lowes and Home depot.

Dear BMW: I'd like a refund of 1' 12" of my life, please?

Drink your full serving of Hatoraid guys?
I liked the video and sent it to friends who also liked the video. But we're over ourselves and how awesome we think we are so we're equipped to enjoy life.

People like hating BMW and that's their problem. Just let them complain and go find what they believe to be a better car somewhere else.
This add comes off better to me than some of the crap Acura is putting out with the bucktooth lineup and beats the hell out of the Mercedes Christmas adds that showcase the R-class.

I'm confused... What does this entry tell us that this one didn't?

These days, there's nothing good about BMW other than the name BMW.
This ad is lame.... and very gay at the end.

Very gay Ken??
Maybe if that didn't sound like a 12 year old talking people would take you serious.
