The new BMW Z4 Roadster

Abstract

Of all the types of car on the market, the roadster is undoubtedly the one that arouses the most pure emotion. BMW has in the past often presented the public with strikingly designed roadsters. The 328, the 507, the Z1 or the Z3 — all these BMW models have become classics. Now, the new two-seater BMW Z4 is to take its place in this hall of fame. The impressive features of the new car include its handling, its chassis dynamics and the quality of the body, which has been designed to be more as twice as stiff as that of the predecessor Z3, as well as the striking design lines of the exterior. For the new roadster, BMW is also for the first time offering electro-mechanical power steering and a new six-speed manual transmission.
