Aenean tincidunt. Nulla rutrum mollis enim

Featuring a folding two-piece aluminum roof, the car takes some inspiration from the BMW Z8’s elongated profile. The new 7-Series’ front face is also evident, as are 6-Series-inspired taillights.Most attention has been paid to the Z4’s exterior — and with good reason. Many of the polarizing features of the previous Z4’s design have been toned-down, amounting to a much more elegant look. BMW’s radical design revolution hasn’t always been aesthetically successful, at least in the eyes of the BMW faithful. But BMW styling now seems to be hitting its stride, recapturing some of its former pleasing proportions. It appears that the steady hand of BMW designer Adrian van Hooydonk is getting the beloved Bimmers back where they need to be.

A roadster designed the way only BMW can: the classic proportions of the stretched bonnet and short overhangs are complimented by the low seats near to the rear axle to grant the driver a perfect feel for the road. The modern shape, interplay of striking contours and soft mergers, fully captures the character of this vehicle from its characteristic kidney grille to the powerful wheel arches at the rear. However, it’s the way this roadster effortlessly negotiates straights and bends that makes it truly like no other.

A perfect fit that leaves plenty of room for exploration. Like a well-tailored suit, the BMW Z4 Roadster is expertly customized to meet the needs of the driver. From the asymmetrical centre console to the optimally positioned instruments and round control elements that echo the legendary BMW Z8, a journey inside this vehicle offers a new discovery in elegance every time. Even with the roof closed, the overwhelming feeling of freedom remains and the bond between the driver, the vehicle and the road is as close as ever.

A precisely-designed network of suspension, engine management, brakes and tyres, plus Dynamic Stability Control - all with one single objective: to keep the BMW Z4 Roadster safely on track, even in the most demanding situations. The head-thorax airbags are ideally positioned in the seats and are deployed as needed to deliver split-second protection for the vehicle’s occupants, should a collision be unavoidable. And the particularly rigid side sills efficiently distribute energy in the case of a side impact.

The Z4 is available as either the sDrive30i, or the sDrive35i. Power for the sDrive30i comes from a 255-hp 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder engine. The sDrive35i is powered by a twin-turbo, 300-hp 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder engine. Both models come standard with a six-speed manual transmission. An optional six-speed automatic transmission is offered on the sDrive30i, while an advanced double-clutch seven-speed automatic transmission is available on the sDrive35i. Standard features include Driving Dynamics Control which allows the driver to change the vehicles characteristics between normal, sport, and sport+ mode, adaptive brake lights, and a two-piece lightweight-aluminum hardtop.
