A classic - redesigned.
The exterior of the BMW Z4 Roadster.
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, an interplay of striking contours and soft mergers, fully captures the character of this vehicle from its characteristic kidney grille to the powerful wheelarches at the rear. However, it's the way this roadster effortlessly negotiates straights and bends that makes it truly like no other.
A good feeling.
The interior of the BMW Z4 Roadster.
A perfect fit that leaves plenty of room for exploration. Like a well-tailored suit, the BMW Z4 Roadster is expertly customised 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.
Either and or.
The retractable hardtop of the BMW Z4 Roadster.
The first BMW roadster with a hardtop. Its sophisticated design means the characteristic low-slung appearance remains unaltered even with the top down. This is possible thanks to the optimal folding of the two aluminium roof shells in approximately 20 seconds. With the top closed, the roof line of the roadster adopts a coupé-style silhouette, and the generous side and rear windows ensure captivating panorama views. Whether you choose to drive with the roof open or closed, it's never a question of style but always of the moment.
The straight six-cylinder petrol engines in the BMW Z4 sDrive23i, sDrive30i and sDrive35i.
Why does a roadster have an elongated bonnet? To accommodate six cylinders in a row. This is because only straight six-cylinder engines provide the perfect combination of weight and power coupled with dynamic balance and sophisticated smoothness. Constructed from a combination of magnesium and aluminium, the BMW Z4 sDrive23i (150 kW/204 hp) and sDrive30i (190 kW/258 hp) set new standards in dynamic engineering. And in the BMW Z4 sDrive35i, High Precision Injection and Twin Turbo help release up to 225 kW (306 hp) on command.
The seven-speed sport automatic double-clutch transmission in the BMW Z4 Roadster.
Taking your breath away but not your speed, the seven-speed sport automatic transmission* transfers engine power to the road without the slightest disruption to tractive force. With two transmission structures the system is able to switch simply between the two, thus providing constant power to the rear wheels. Gears can be changed without the transmission of power being interrupted using either the paddles on the steering wheel, the shift lever or the automatic mode for even more dynamic comfort. The Driving Dynamic Control is used to effortlessly switch between the Normal, Sport und Sport+ options.
*Only available for the BMW Z4 sDrive35i.
Constant protection.
The roll-over system on the BMW Z4 Roadster.
Whether you're driving with the roof opened or closed, you are always fully protected in the BMW Z4 Roadster. Two attractive roll-over bars in ruthenium-look steel ensure maximum safety combined with aesthetic design. Together, the roll bars and reinforced windscreen form a protective safety zone for occupants should the unthinkable happen.
