BMW roadsters have a pretty cool lineage (the link is worth checking out). With the exception of the Z1 (ugh), you can see pretty clearly where all BMW roadsters draw inspiration from when you look at their history. Pretty cool how BMW carries design language through the years.
To my eye, BMW roadsters draw inspiration primarily from one of two cars: either the 328 or the 507. Like you, I feel that the Z4 draws the most inspiration from the 507. Cars like the E36/37 Z3 roadster drew more from the 328, with their narrower grill and center-swell hoodline. You can still see some of that in the Z4, but it leans more toward the 507, IMO.
