BMW Group Australia has updated its Z4 roadster line-up which offers enhancements to almost every aspect of the
sports car’s features. The DNA of the roadster has been preserved, while improvements have been effected on the vehicle’s
design, specifications and value.
The new BMW Z4 is the latest chapter in the history of BMW roadsters – a tradition which stretches back to the 1930s
and spawned classic vehicles such as the BMW 328 and the BMW 507 from 1955. The first Z roadster, the BMW Z1, was
unveiled at the 1987 Frankfurt Motor Show.
Design updates to the new BMW Z4 are subtle, yet cleverly enhance the vehicle’s styling. Particular attention has been
paid to the front of the vehicle: LED light rings now adorn the standard Bi-xenon headlights which emit daytime driving
light and feature a striking three-dimensional design. Accent lights with metal inserts arch over the headlights and
chrome coloured surrounds emphasise the integrated turn signal indicators. Side indicators feature a newly designed
tapered surround which adds to the dynamic profile.
Inside, new high-gloss black surrounds adorn the central air vents and the iDrive system’s folding control display. In
addition, a new Fineline Anthracite wood has been added to the selection of optional interior trims.
The engine variants for the new BMW Z4 are unchanged and include three powerful choices – two four-cylinder engines
and one six-cylinder engine.
- BMW Z4 sDrive20i: A four-cylinder TwinPower Turbo in-line petrol which generates 135kW and 270Nm, completes 0-100
km/h in 6.9 seconds, and has combined fuel consumption of 6.8-litres/100km and CO2 emissions of 159
grammes/km.
- BMW Z4 sDrive28i: A four-cylinder TwinPower Turbo in-line petrol which generates 180kW and 350Nm, completes 0-100
km/h in 5.5 seconds and has combined fuel consumption of 6.8-litres/100km and CO2 emissions of 159
grammes/km.
- BMW Z4 sDrive35is: A six-cylinder TwinPower Turbo in-line petrol which generates 250kW and 450Nm, completes 0-100
km/h in 4.8 seconds and has combined fuel consumption of 9.0-litres/100km and CO2 emissions of 210
grammes/km.
An eight-speed Sport automatic transmission is now standard for both four-cylinder variants. Offering fast, smooth
gear changes and excellent fuel efficiency, the eight-speed transmission includes unidirectional gear shift paddles. A
six-speed manual transmission is available for these models as a no-cost option.
The BMW Z4 sDrive35is six-cylinder engine retains a seven-speed double clutch transmission as standard equipment. This
transmission delivers fast, fluid gear changes and eliminates any interruption to power during shifting, resulting in
exceptionally smooth acceleration, high fuel efficiency and low emissions.
Standard specifications on the BMW Z4 have always been high, as befits a prestige roadster, and include premium
safety, design and convenience features. With the latest update, these standard specifications have been increased,
enhancing occupant comfort and ensuring the driving experience matches customer expectations.
BMW’s acclaimed Professional navigation system is now standard across the range and includes a high-resolution
built-in 8.8-inch colour display, DVD drive, functional bookmarks, 3D map and arrow display and bird’s-eye view.
Updates to the standard specification levels of the Z4 sDrive20i include the eight-speed Sport automatic transmission,
the previously mentioned Professional navigation system, internet functionality, music interface for smart phones and
voice control. MLP* pricing for the new entry-level Z4 is $79,900*.
