The BMW Z5 is a upcoming sports car to be produced by BMW for the 2018 model year. It will replace the aging BMW Z4 convertible coupe, however unlike the Z4 it will feature a cloth convertible top.[1] The new Z5 will also share its platform and basic underpinnings with the jointly-developed Toyota Supra. Both are scheduled to start production in 2018 at Magna Steyr's factory in Graz, Austria.[2] Powertrain options are expected to include inline-fours and sixes; a hybrid variant is a possibility as well.[3]
