New-generation roadster mixes pace, agile handling and ride comfort.
Two-seater roadsters have been among the worst-affected casualties of capricious automotive market trends, with their sales plummeting in recent years.
The new Z4 is the first to touch down in SA, with the Supra to follow later in 2019 , and BMW’s version of the roadster becomes available here in two models: the sDrive 20i and the M40i. The Z4 M40i has laid down its high-performance marker by lapping the Nurburgring in under 8 minutes. Picture: SUPPLIED
The touchscreen infotainment system and the digital instrument panel represent BMW’s latest driver interfaces, while the familiar iDrive controller remains. Perhaps roadster purists might accuse the design of being somewhat busy, but one can’t accuse the new Z4 of lacking presence.
