The second generation of the BMW Z4 roadster that swapped its predecessor's soft top for a retractable metal roof has been with us since 2009, meaning if the Germans stick to their usual product timeline, we should see a mid-life facelift within the next year.
BMW's recent history tells us that these updates vary from barely noticeable styling tweaks like the 2013 7-Series F/L to somewhat more visible changes as was the case with 2009 E90 3-Series F/L.
At this point of time, only BMW chief designer Karim Habin and his team (probably) know what direction the facelift of the Z4 will take, but independent designer Ivan Borisov from the UK thought he would give it a try.
Borisov's photoshop brings the new 3-Series saloon's wider and more pronounced double kidney grilles and a sharper set of headlamps that wrap around the hood and the fenders.
Simple changes but in our book, at least, they seem to work nicely. Check out a larger version of the photo below and voice your thoughts in the comments.

Tasteful update to the headlights & grille - I like it! I'm looking forward to a performance version of the Z4 also as the new F-Type R edition is sure to bring both great looks and incredible power.
Damn, that looks awesome. Hire this guy BMW!
Headlight could be a little bit bigger...
looks COOL!!! LOVE IT!
much more aggressive! quite nice touch
I don't like BMW at all...really...I'm there smallest fan :)
But this....this is a beauty.
This is really getting better BMW!
This is, and always was, a beauty, but build the Zagato.
'Smallest'.. means.. small in physical size or stature.
'Fan'... means ... Fanatic
So there lies a contradiction in your comment, "don't like' and 'Fan'atic. And, just how small are you(?) smallenpik.
Ah! More 'Abuse'
Thanks guys for your feedback. I was searching for copycats and was, honestly, quite surprised to find this picture on quite a few sources. I'm very glad you liked it and lets hope BMW will take some clues
The ultimate roadster car. Headlight is obsessions.
