both my E89 Z4s, E93 335, E93 M3, and SL550, being hardtops… are perfect. It's a coupe when you want it and can easily be turned into a convertible.

Soft top verts can't be coupes.. one main reason I dislike the new M6 vert. I considered one when the concepts were showing hardtops….
BMW had built a hard-top 6 Series F1X, but still decided to go with soft-top, don't know the reasons for it. Hard-top convertibles are better than soft-top, no doubt, but they are not true coupés.

It will surely be hard-top, current Z4 is the best selling one (have to verify). However we don't know if the new Z4 will get an all new hard-top, the same one, as like E93 and F32.

The thing is quite a number do not want any hard-top Z4, but a real Z4 coupé, that is lighter, something like a Z4 M Coupé that could rival the Mercedes AMG-GT.
