BMW Z4 Roadster (E85)

The BMW Z4 Roadster was launched in the American market in 2002 and it was also sold in Germany from 2003. It adopts the classic roadster proportions with a long engine hood, a long wheelbase, short overhangs and a low seating position located well to the rear. The Z4 was positioned as more upscale than the Z3. Hence, there were only six-cylinder inline engines in the beginning, although the BMW Z4 M Roadster powered by the S54 engine was the flagship model in the series. The BMW Z4 Roadster embodied "Sheer Driving Pleasure" ("Freude am Fahren") to perfection, combined with timeless elegance.
