The New Z4 Roadster
Published: 23rd June 2003
Roadsters have played a key role in BMW’s history, and the Z4
is set to write another chapter in the open-top story. Since the birth
of the first example in 1936, the famous BMW 328, all roadsters have
shared common proportions and design principles - long bonnet; low,
set back driving position; long wheelbase with short overhangs and
a fabric soft top. The new BMW Z4 is no different. It shares all of
those traditional principles, but takes the roadster experience full
throttle into the 21st century.
