DUBAI —
The new BMW Z4 – a premium open-top sports car – boasts a classic fabric soft-top, an emotion-packed body design and a puristic, driver-focused interior
The classical roadster, reinterpreted and sportier than ever: new BMW Z4 fuses typical sports car dynamism with emotion-packed design, an exclusive ambience and advanced equipment features. Unadulterated driving pleasure meets state-of-the-art powertrain, chassis, operating and connectivity technology.
The new BMW Z4 is a very modern addition to the brand’s long history of engrossing roadsters. Two-seater with fully electric fabric soft-top. Radically revised proportions, central seating position, shorter wheelbase for increased agility and wider tracks than its predecessor. Weight-saving measures and ideal 50 : 50 weight distribution, aerodynamically optimized body.
Headlights positioned at the outer edges of the front end and in a vertical arrangement for the first time. LED headlights as standard, Adaptive LED headlights with matrix function for non-dazzling high beam and cornering lights optional. Large BMW kidney grille in new mesh design. Wide bonnet with prominent contour lines straddles the wheel arches. Large Air Breathers provide the starting point for the lines and surface contouring along the flanks. Muscular, sculptural rear end featuring harmoniously integrated spoiler, slender LED lights and diffuser.
Modern, high-class interior styling with pronounced driver focus, lines that surge forward with dynamic élan and clearly structured control panels. Pared-down trim finishers reinforce the puristic character. Door panel contours echo some of the exterior graphic elements visible from the side.
