2009 BMW Z4 Roadster at MIMS
The all-new BMW Z4 Roadster made its Australian debut at MIMS this morning showing for the first time its two-piece retractable hard-top guise.
Available with three power plants, the Z4 Roadster is offered with 2.5-litre, 3.0-litre (both normally aspirated) or 3.0-litre twin-turbo charged engines, the latter of which produces 225kW of power and 400Nm of torque to propel the car from 0-100km/h in 5.1 seconds.
The retractable roof stows or unfolds in 20 seconds and is made from aluminium to reduce weight - as are the front guards and bonnet.
Standard equipment includes leather upholstery, cruise control, park distance control, electromechanical park brake, electronic diff lock, dynamic driving control, bi-xenon headlamps, heated seats, bluetooth and iPod connectivity.
The Z4 Roadster is priced from $86,200 for the sDrive23i model, $98,100 for the sDrive30i and $116,900 for the range topping sDrive35i.
