Didn't see you said roofline, either way the Z series has only one vehicle so it has no tradition in it's separation by even/odd. Doesn't scott work for BMW? If he's saying it will be called the Z3, that's very likely what it will be called.
If Scott works for BMW that's all fine and Dandy, perhaps he may be right. But unless he is a top ranking executive in Munich I will still look at this with some cautious skepticism. Like I said before, the departure from the Z3 nameplate in favor of the Z4 was what set in motion the whole odd/even naming scheme. It would seem like an incredible departure from a newly adopted naming philosophy by BMW if they were to infact revive the Z3 name on a coupe.
