Styling
The defining characteristic of the Z4 are its sweeping bonnet, long wheelbase, low beltline and low-slung rear end. The low seating position of the Z4 is positioned just ahead of the rear axle giving the driver and passenger a particularly intense experience of the longitudinal and lateral forces working on the rear wheels.
The hardtop roof on the car can be opened at the touch of a button while the car is moving at up to 25 mph (40 km/h) in an automated process lasting 19 seconds.
The standard Xenon headlights of the new BMW Z4 have a slim design and extend well into the front wheel arches. They feature LED light rings which emit daytime driving light in the brand’s hallmark style. The integrated turn signal indicators have chrome-coloured surrounds, which lend further emphasis to the sophisticated character of the light units.

Powering the new car is a BMW TwinPower Turbo six-cylinder in-line petrol engine with max power of 306 hp. The sprint from 0 to 100 km/h takes just 5.1 seconds and top speed is 250 km/h. The motor comes mated to a seven-speed Sport automatic transmission.
