BMW has its whole "Joy" marketing campaign as you may know. Part of that has been an artist promotion in Romania. Alexandru Mirea came up with an interesting take on BMWs Joy, namely Origami!
He chose to work on his favorite BMW, the BMW Z4, and about 4000 paper cranes.
15 Days and 5 All nighters later, here is the result..

People continue to take deliveries of their spanking new E89 Z4s. ZPost member lightning shares a night time photoshoot of his car with everyone and promises more to follow
With work keeping me very busy these days, only now have I had the chance to write up my last road trip from 2 weeks ago. The area surrounding Lancaster, PA is perhaps most famous for its Amish and Mennonite residents. My goal, however, was the usual: fun roads, pretty scenery, and interesting historical sites.
My point of departure was Columbia, PA, which is right on the banks of our old friend the Susquehanna River. This town merits a much lengthier visit, as it is steeped in history. The area was originally the home of the Native American Susquehannocks (whose name apparently means "People of the Muddy River"). John Wright settled here in 1726 and started Wrights Ferry. … CONTINUED
I really enjoyed this article posted on examiner.com. Its a nicely worded review of the Z4 which briefly hits on all the important points of the car
"Steering is very precise. The only learning curve for me was the massive distance from the front wheels to the steering wheel. Sitting so far back, it’s hard to triangulate exactly where the front wheels are – at first. In time, I was able to precisely position the Z4 on any curve. With a little extra stick (with the traction control off), the rear end slides out on command. On more than one occasion, sliding all fours was not only possible but ridiculously fun. "… CONTINUED
Auto Motor und Sports photogs have been able to snap some more pictures of the red E89 Z4 that were posted up earlier (and of higher resolution).

The E89 Z4 is now testing at the ring with its Msport body (or performance aero kit) ! This is potentially the 3.5iM, a slightly uprated power version of the standard 3.5i.
Its an amazing sight to see when a brand new forum member posts up one hell of a car. Todays new member is fredrikz4 who hails from sweden with an ESS supercharged Z4 3.0 that is putting out about 430hp. Frederik didn’t stop with the supercharger and worked on the downflow stream with a new exhaust and pipes as well as a new clutch and rear diff. Bodywork and wheels were seriously beefed up to match what is under the hood and the complete package has to be seen to really be appreciated.
Welcome aboard fredrikz4!
Manhart has turned this Z4 into a beastly little roadster powered by the the E60 M5’s 550hp motor.
