The latest issue of Germany’s Auto Motor und Sport features a cover story on the much-rumored BMW Z9, which is expected to be offered in coupe and convertible forms to take on both the Mercedes SL and, to some degree, the Audi R8 . All recent reports have indicated the car will get a front-engine layout, meaning it will be a bit more like an SL or Aston Vantage than an R8 or Porsche 911. The new AMS rendering (available in low-resolution only) shows a more traditional take on how the Z9 could look. At this point, we suspect BMW is considering a whole slew of designs, since the roadster/coupe isn’t expected on the market for three years.
