With an exterior look created by a Danish designer, the Z4 was fun to drive and affordable compared to other competitors in its class.
Reaching its 4th generation, the Z4 came with a fresher design that appealed to many of the brand’s fans.
The Z4 kept some of the references of an historical car, such as the large hood and the sloping roof.
Not only the exterior was attractive, as the new engines boasted even more power, reaching 215 hp with the 3.0-liter power plant. The fuel consumption was also reduced compared to the previous generation of the engines.
Available as a 2-seat roadster or a coupe for 2006, the roadster was available with the 3.0i, featuring 17-inch alloys, rain-sensing wipers and heated wiper jets, heated mirrors, power windows and mirrors, keyless entry, vinyl upholstery and a tilt-telescoping steering wheel. The road was equipped with a manually operated soft top and a defroster-equipped glass rear window.
Safety wise, the Z4 came with antilock disc brakes and a stability control system. Also, side airbags, active knee protection and rollover protection were included.
While the Z4 earned a 3-star rating for side-impact, it managed to score 5 stars out of 5 for frontal impact.
The Z4 had a timeless design and sold well over the years.
