Lust object : (by BMW)
The BMW Z4 effortlessly bridges two worlds. It is a classic roadster. And it is a charismatic vision of the future. The sweeping curve of the bonnet, the long wheelbase and low-set seats identify the Z4 as a pure-bred sports car. But more than this: the Z4 is an experience that delights the senses. Convex and concave surfaces play with light. Strong lines interact with soft curves. Smooth steel and fine leather bring a tactile richness to every detail. The closer you come to the Z4, the more it touches you.
In my humble opinion you can easily say that no other roadster sportscar drives like a Z4
After 7 years on market the Z4 was introduced as the successor of the BMW Z3 @ the “Paris Motor Show” back in 2002. The newest two-seater went on sale in November 2002. The Z4 also known as the E85 was designed by Christopher Edward Bangle the chief of design for BMW and responsible for the lovely design across all BMW’s Mini’s and Rolls Royce. The Z4 has the same design of all BMW’s (3-5-7 series ). It was a hole new start in the world of designing a car. Another huge difference was the rear suspension equipped with a multi-link suspension. There where BMW’s Z3 started with the 4-cylinder the Z4 was launched with a straight-6 motors (2.5 or 3.0L). Later on there was the 2.2 & the 3.2 Back in 2005 the first 4-cylinder was introduced.

A 5-speed manual gearbox was standard on all models except for the 3.0L and the M Roadster, which has a 6-speed.A Getrag 5-speed automatic are available on all cars ( except on the 2.0 ) .
