BMW Z4


NOTED for its departure from the simple fabric roof format of old, BMW’s current Z4 roadster has become a popular choice among buyers seeking the security of a tin-top fixture and the benefits of roof-down motoring in one neat package. The current generation Z4 is


not for wallflowers, as it couldn’t be further from the conservative looks of Porsche’s Boxster if it tried. The Z4’s overall appearance


hasn’t changed, but you should be able to spot tweaks to the car’s headlights and the inclusion of a little more chrome trim in the cabin. While the rest of the car has


remained unchanged mechanically, the introduction of an entry-level four-cylinder engine has made the Z4 that bit more accessible to those seeking a first step on the premium roadster


ladder. It easily caters to both the


gentle driver and the enthusiastic pilot without delivering the edgy, white knuckle ride reminiscent of many of the Z4’s more hardcore rivals. As with all BMWs, the Z4


teases you with a wallet-bending list of extras with which to personalise your purchase.
