Report: BMW planning X4 crossover coupe
jan11-x4.jpg
It's no secret BMW is developing a "coupe" version of its X5 off-roader, called the X6. Company officials have confirmed its development, and spy photographers have spotted prototypes in testing.
But the X6 isn't the only crossover-coupe under development at BMW, if Germany's Auto Bild is to be believed. According to the latest issue of the magazine, BMW is also working on a coupe version of the X3, called the X4. While the larger X6 has four doors, the X4 has just two.
It's not known if the X4 is currently under development — or if the project has even been approved — but it's clear BMW is serious about this emerging "Sport Activity Vehicle" segment.

From Leftlane News:
Spied: Next-generation BMW Z4? Z6? Z8? Z9?
Spy photographers have snapped photos of a new BMW roadster in testing on public roads in Munich. The spies at KGP Photography believe the vehicle is the next-generation BMW Z4, while the team at Hidden Image say it's the forthcoming Z9 — a successor to the BMW Z8 and a competitor to the Mercedes SL-Class.
This prototype appears slightly larger than the existing Z4, but perhaps not large enough to be BMW's forthcoming Mercedes SL competitor. In November, Hidden Image said BMW was working on a successor to the Z4 that would be named Z6. The name change would reflect the new car's increased dimensions.
UPDATE: according to the Leftlane news update, this is the upcoming Z9
