quick chop based on spypics. It's not 100% accurate but I'd say its around 90% accurate.

Stop with the chops. They do not represent the car at all. Infact, I can't remember a photoshop that looked anywhere near the real thing!

This chop has a different door handle, fender emblem and rear compared to the original Z4. If anything, this car is 90% representitive of the OLD Z4! You honestly think that BMW designers are as lazy as Porsche?

Chill out man. If you're not into chops, why did you bother opening the thread? The title is "Z4 chop"...and so what if it doesnt accurately reflect what's under the camo? Its fun to guess. Damn, some people...

I'd say the anger comes from you claiming it's "90% accurate." Where the HELL do you come off saying that? If you want to have fun playing with Photoshop, fine - just don't try and pass them off as something more than that.

The above is closer, but you're still incporating elements from past cars and ignoring the new one in front of you. Drop the side vents and the canvas top and rollbars from the Z4, for starters.

I made it clear it was my opinion and it was an estimate. What is a forum if you cant give your own opinion?

He made it clear he hates all chops because he "can't remember a photoshop that looked anywhere near the real thing!". Why did he open the thread if he knew what was going to be in it? he didnt have to open it

and if he cant remember seeing a chop that was accurate, here's one that's quite accurate

An opinion is not just a bunch of sylalbles falling from your mouth, sir. It should have a basis in facts and/or experience, otherwise you could just as well use your rectum to produce them for you; could you explain WHY you feel the above chop is "90% accurate" when it was a mild tweak of a photoshop that was completely discredited weeks ago?

If you use your eyes, you will I see I posted a spy pic and I even edited it to show the lines and panels. We all see different things when we look at camo'd prototypes. That's what I seen, hence my opinion was reflected through my chop.

What chop are you reffering to? This one?



If you look, you'll see I used a completely different image. So what if it's not totally different from that chop? It doesnt change the fact that I think it's fairly accurate based on the spy pics above.

Here's the image I started with:

Who knows? If you arent a fan of chops, why moan at people who are interested in them? also, why am I not allowed to give my opinion. What the hell is a forum then?

You gave your opinion, as you're free to do. People responded to it with theirs, as they're free to do. That's what a discussion forum is about. It has nothing to do with not being a "fan of chops." I think they can be interesting, useful, and prescient. Yours, not so much.

Does that show tollerance for other people's opinions? No. It was just an immature attack against my opinion.

You went on to do the same thing:

You couldnt handle my opinion (despite me showing proof for my opinion), attacked me for having, and then went on to say: "just don't try and pass them off as something more than that." ie. you told me not to give my opinion

Anyway for the sake of others in this forum, I'm not going to respond to any more of your crap. Say what you want. Other people can judge it. Meh.

Looks even more like a bastardized S2K clone than the last gen :-(

That said, if it looks like this, I'd approve.
