BMW Australia today announced pricing for its new high-performance Z4 Roadster, which has now joined the Australian model line-up.
Priced from $129,900, the BMW Z4 sDrive35is sits atop the current Z4 range, which consists of the Z4 sDrive35i, the Z4 sDrive30i and the Z4 sDrive23i.
The BMW Z4 sDrive35is features a modified straight-six twin turbo engine with high precision injection technology with an output of 250 kW. Accelerating from standstill to 100 km/h in just 4.8 seconds, the roadster’s performance time is identical to the six-speed manual BMW M3 CoupĂ©. Peak torque is 450 Nm, increasing briefly to 500 Nm courtesy of an overboost function.
The new hero model for the Z4 range is fitted with BMW’s seven-speed Double Clutch Transmission which includes a launch control function. The unique M Sport Package features a particularly aggressive-looking aerodynamics kit and includes adaptive suspension which lowers the car by 10 mm.
An exclusive 18’ Star-Spoke option is also now standard. And unique floormats, embroided with the BMW Z4 sDrive35is model-designation, complete the sporting appeal of the range-topping roadster.
Despite increased performance, fuel consumption and CO2 emissions are identical to that of the 225 kW Z4 sDrive35i, exemplifying the BMW EfficientDynamics ethos of reducing emissions whilst improving performance.
The roadster is also equipped standard with BMW EfficientDynamics technologies such as Brake Energy Regeneration and Electric Power Steering.
BMW Group Australia managing director, Stavros Yallouridis, says the new hero roadster would extend demand for the BMW Z4 which has dominated the segment since its introduction in May 2009.
“The Z4 is already recognised as a design icon and a triumph of engineering. Now in the form of the BMW Z4 sDrive35is, Australian performance enthusiasts can enjoy the ultimate BMW roadster experience,” he says.
The new BMW Z4 sDrive35is is available now in local BMW showrooms.Source URL: http://carrevieeeew.blogspot.com/2010/05/bmw-z4-cars-lands-in-australia.html
