It isn’t yet available to the consumers, but the 2009 BMW Z4 already started to win awards.

This BMW model, along with the Audi R8 5.2 FSI, won the Eyes On Design Award for the Best Production Vehicle. Two other cars - the Audi Sportback and Cadillac Converj – went home with the Best Concept Awards.

Each year, the Detroit Auto Show hosts the Eyes on Design Awards, where the jurors go down to the Cobo hall to take their pick. The nominees are split into two Concept and Production categories. Among those who handle judging duties are Chris Bangle (BMW’s design head), Willy G. Davidson (Harley-Davidson chief styling officer), and Larry Erickson (transportation design chair at the College of Creative Studies).

With its unique design and great performance, the 2009 BMW Z4 will undoubtedly win many awards.
