BMW Z4 Design Pure Balance at Geneva

Out of the entire BMW line up, the exciting Z4 must be the least advertised model of them all. Despite its qualities, its looks and, in the end, the legacy of its name (Z), the model is seldom the recipient of the car maker's attention, at least when compared to say the BMW X1.

Still, the Geneva Auto Show is a chance for the model to shine again, and this time in new clothing. The German auto maker thought it would be best to bring the Z4 back into the spotlight by introducing the Design Pure Balance package, a set of upgrades for both the interior and the exterior.

The most noticeable change at the exterior is the addition of Mineral White metallic paint, a first for the model, accompanied by the non-metallic and metallic exterior paint finishes. The interior receives a facelift as well, with BMW going for a more luxury look and feel.

The Z4 receives Cohiba Brown-colored leather, with contrasting seams in Lotus White. The play of colors continues with the intervention, from place to place, of the black leather features with seams in Umbra, Fineline Anthracite wood and sports seats.

BMW says the package will be made available to customers this summer and, hopefully, we'll have a few more details to go on when deciding to buy one or not.

autoevolution will be attending the 2011 Geneva Motor Show, so stay tuned for some real up close and personal shots of the vehicles, as well as for first-hand details of the motorized contraptions presented at the event.
