"There’s something intrinsically cool about a small, hatchback sports car. It’s reminiscent of an era when a serious sports car dude might have a car like this as his only ride. The Z4 M Coupe picks up that vaguely retro vibe with its cab-rearward proportions, although the design does not attempt to re-create anything."
I always thought this encapsulated the feel of the machine.
