I always wondered why there is not very many current car models out there. :
Because car makers are greedy, and nothing can be made of theirs without them having their fingers in the pot. The fact that the very presence of their vehicle in kit form is basically free advertising, that isn't enough for them and they want a piece of the action. Then you get into Nascar kits, and then you have the car maker taking a piece and Nascar wants a piece, which is why you don't see Revell making any new Nascar kits, and those that Round 2 are doing are dreadfully overpriced because of the royalties being paid to Nascar and the car makers.
At one time you got kits of all the new production models every year, now you get a select few that the companies know will sell well to make back their investment, which lots of times involves more than just the cost of cutting a mold, Mustang, Camaro, Challenger, Corvette are good examples.
@ Grendals, I had a look through my supplier's listings, and came up with a few, but nothing exactly like what you have.
Tamiya 1/24 BMW Z3 Roadster Sports Car
Testors 1/24 BMW Z4 (Met. Silver) (Metal Kit)
The only other one I could fine was a Maisto 1/18 Die Cast of a Z4
