BMW Z4
The newest addition to the BMW Z4 series has surpassed the older models in perks and style. Cool is a given for this roadster, but one of the highlights of the newest model is the lightweight retractable aluminum hardtop which stows quickly and neatly into the boot.
A 6-cylinder petrol engine with 6-speed manual transmission, the Z4 zips from 0-62 in about 5 seconds in the new 35i due its twin turbo. Top speeds can reach 155mph in this series while handling with exceptional agility and smoothness. The lines on the Z4 are not only eye-candy for the roadster lover, but provide the aerodynamics that result in a truly supple feel in such a sporty and slick ride.
Fuel economy and environmental impact are honorable for the Z4. It is constructed with lightweight materials and employs stop-start technology and brake energy regeneration, all of which improve fuel economy. Fuel consumption is reported at around 31mpg with CO2 emissions around 200g/km. more
