BMW Z4 Roadster sDrive 23i & 35i road test

Written By Lee Sibbald Published On: May 26 2009

BMW Z4 Roadster image The first-generation Z4 went on sale the UK in 2003. Originally it was available only as a soft-top convertible and, like the Z3 before it, hard-top Coupé versions became available later. But there’s nothing like killing two birds with one stone, so the new Z4 roadster sports a retractable hard-top. And that’s just the start of it.BMW Z4 Roadster lease pricesBMW Z4 new and nearly new car pricesWith 50/50 front/rear weight distribution, a 25% stiffer bodyshell than the old Z4 and rear-wheel drive (now known as sDrive in BMW-speak), the fundamentals for a fine handling sports car are all very much in place. The new Z’s steering is precise and responsive, plus it rides comfortably and inspires confidence. But there are many variables – wheel and tyres sizes plus Dynamic Stability Control, Drive Dynamic Control and optional M Adaptive Sport Suspension – that precise evaluation depends on the individual car and its exact settings. The 23i I drove rode surprisingly comfortably, while the highly-specced 30i (on different wheels) was noticeably firmer.Read the full BMW Z4 Roadster sDrive road test reportsRoadTestReports.co.uk logo imageRoadTestReports.co.uk provides road tests reports written by members of the Guild of Motoring Writers.
