The Z4's electric power-steering system was a first for BMW. Trunk capacity is 9.2 cubic feet; when the soft-top is down, space decreases to 8.5 cubic feet.
Far different in appearance than the Z3, the Z4 displays a blend of convex and concave surfaces, deeply sculpted bodysides and twin belt lines. The Z4 has more sharp edges, especially at the rear, than its rounded predecessor.
Featuring a relatively long, 98.2-inch wheelbase, the Z4 has short overhangs and a low, rearward seating position. Round side blinker indicators protrude from each front fender.
The hood is aluminum, and soft-top components are magnesium. Equipped with a heated glass rear window, the top features an integrated tonneau cover. Manual operation is standard, but power operation is available. Roll bars sit behind the seats.
Other than its two-passenger capacity, the Z4's cockpit is completely different from its predecessor's. The instruments are well spaced on a distinctive, clean-looking dashboard. Full-width dash panels are either woodgrained or brushed aluminum, which looks especially appealing.
The Z4 3.0i uses a 225-hp, 3.0-liter inline-six and is equipped with a six-speed manual. BMW's Dynamic Driving Control is part of the Sport Package. BMW claims the Z4 3.0i equipped with the manual shift can accelerate from zero to 60 mph in 5.9 seconds.
Side-impact airbags, knee airbags and antilock brakes are standard. A cutoff switch for the front passenger airbag is included.
Acceleration in the Z4 3.0i is forceful. There's plenty of low-end torque when starting off or passing.
The defiantly taut suspension delivers a reasonably smooth ride on most surfaces. Drivers can hit nasty bumps pretty hard without losing even the slightest bit of control. The Z4's magnificent seats are satisfyingly cushioned and supportive.
The Premium package adds a power top and seats.
The Sport Package provides a slightly lower ride height (about 0.6") from the shorter springs, and sport dampers and thicker sway bars. It's the sport button that really transcends the car and makes it a lot more fun to drive. The sharper throttle response and heavier steering make the car actually drive like a sports car. Without them, the car feels a little soft, and just, not as fun. IMO, the sport button is a must when buying the Z4.

Vorsteiner BMW M4 GTRS4 shows how to do a widebody at SEMA
Wed, 05 Nov 2014Part of the joy of the SEMA Show is that all of the best tuners in the world are competing to show off their wares, and the challenge often pushes the companies into some absolutely insane directions. Case in point: Vorsteiner and its ludicrous GTRS4 wide body kit with the BMW M4.
According to Auto Evolution, the kit reportedly adds 4 inches in the front to fit 10.5-inch-wide wheels and a massive 7-inches more in the rear to snug in 13.5-inch-wide wheels, but spinning around the BMW in these images makes the changes look even more extreme. Beyond just the extra room in the fenders, the lower air intakes are ready to suck in huge volumes of cool air, and there's a front splitter to keep things planted. The front and rear extensions are joined by side sills that grow the farther back they go. Finally, at the rear, the M4 gets a reworked diffuser with mesh inserts.
This is just the type of automotive craziness that makes SEMA interesting. Take a lot at it for yourself in the gallery.
Watch two championship-winning DTM cars from BMW go head-to-head
Mon, 06 May 2013BMW recently had a little fun with two of the company's past DTM champions. Roberto Ravaglia and Bruno Spengler, winners of the 1989 and 2012 championships, respectively, both showed up at the world-famous Hockenheimring with their title-winning cars. The two swapped seats, with Ravaglia taking the helm of Spengler's BMW M3 DTM racer and Spengler sliding behind the wheel of Ravaglia's first-generation M3 racer in the classic BMW Bank livery, and headed for the track. Spengler got a 23 second head start in the first-gen M3 with Ravaglia chasing behind.
It didn't take long for the older hotshoe to sort out his new ride and close the gap. The short clip below follows the two as they make their way around the circuit, but the really interesting portion comes when the pair begin discussing what they like and don't like about each other's machines. You can check out the full video below for yourself.
BMW celebrates 30 years of M5 with 600-hp super sedan
Wed, 07 May 2014It's been 30 years since BMW rolled out the first M5, and while displacement and cylinder count may have fluctuated over those past three decades, output has only increased. The first-generation E28 M5 packed a 3.5-liter inline-six with 252 horsepower and 243 lb-ft of torque. The second-gen E34 model that followed added an extra 100 cc (and later 200 more) to produce 310 hp and 266 lb-ft. The E39 followed with a 4.9-liter V8 churning out 394 hp and 369 lb-ft, replaced by the award-winning 5.0-liter V10 in the E60 with its 500 hp and 380 lb-ft before BMW rolled out the latest model with a 4.4-liter V8, its twin turbos making up for the two dropped cylinders and 600 cc of displacement to produce 560 hp and 502 lb-ft of torque. But even that's being left in the dust by the new special edition you see here.
The 30th Anniversary Edition BMW M5 packs that same 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8, but cranks the output up to a nice, round 600 horsepower and a solid 516 lb-ft of torque to go with it. That makes it more powerful, not only than any M5 that's come before it, but also any of its rivals. The Jaguar XFR-S and Audi RS6 Avant (the latter only available as a wagon and not in North America) both lag behind this ultimate of Ultimate Driving Machines; only the Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG trumps it on torque (but not on power), with 531 lb-ft in stock form and 590 in the S-Model.
As a result, the 0-60 time drops from a quoted 4.2 seconds in the stock M5 to a scant 3.7 in the 30th Anniversary edition (just one tick behind that twistier E63 S). The special M5 also comes with the Competition Package as standard, as well as a dedicated control module for the Active M Differential, a special Frozen Dark Silver matte finish, 20-inch alloys and black chrome badges. Special badges abound inside as well, where you'll also find black leather and Alcantara upholstery and aluminum trim. There'll even be a dedicated one-day course offered to owners at The Thermal Club in Palm Springs, CA, to further sweeten the deal.
