BMW Z4 M Roadster - Real World Review

Look that's how they no longer do it It's literally true BMW M Roadster We had the Z3 M This is the Z4 M The Z4 is still being built The Z4 M no they don't have that anymore Yet it's a recipe that actually makes sense you know A truly powerful engine in a carriage that's a bit lighter and more compact The classic roadster feel And if you look at it you really have a long hood There's a nice big engine under there And then you're almost sitting on the rear axle Nice short tail the cap can be removed This whole recipe is actually completely spot-on And then this one We can't ignore that color It's not fire engine red It's a bit darker But I still think it's pretty clever It might make it a more pronounced more noticeable example But I think he could have Such a Z4 it's just a nice car For weekends just enjoy driving around If the weather is maybe a bit better than now We sometimes have a watery sun It's a brilliant device We are going to mess with my hairstyle a bit Hair naturally open What's naturally nice about a Roadster is when you then press the accelerator a bit Then you can hear the exhaust very nicely It's always a bit exaggerated one side Two times two on that side On the other hand it kind of goes with an M- product That you can just see that it's a quick one And the feeling unmatched I don't want to say But it's true You look over that long hood There is an M3 limited-slip differential installed here The brakes are also from an E46 M3 Van de CS and the CSL Such a combination here It is indeed a nice package that they have put together To drive comfortably That's okay because you have the hood open and you still want to save your coupe It's more enduring than you think I'm feeling a bit more into it today Both of them can go in the Z4M Roadster They are also relatively rare Approximately 5 300 were built Of the Z4M Roadster Coupe is somewhat less around 4 300 units While there are various figures available online But of course many also went to the United States So from Europe especially the EU Probably around 1400 to 1500 examples of the Z4M Roadster So that's just simply rare It's uncollectible I'd say And then in this color Do I need to say more No thanks Just buy it No joke But you won't soon meet another one There aren't that many Shall I just go ahead Listen John What a nice place I find this simply a work of art I think many people agree with me on that Classic BMW recipe Six in a row The block is always a bit tilted It's actually a bit on its side It is slightly lower Then the hood can stay a bit lower S54 engine block 3.2 liters in size Fly-by-wire throttle pedal He has dual camshafts That means the camshaft is adjustable The intake and exhaust sides are adjustable Large airbox here You can tell from everything that this is just serious This is a serious car 343 hp 365 Nm of torque He can rotate at 8000 revolutions These are probably some of the treats from the BMW collection This engine block The V8 naturally came in the M3 We now have turbocharged engines Inline six-cylinder engines They are better when viewed theoretically More torque More power Only this runs so smoothly So silky smooth indeed If you keep going Then you'll be rewarded with one crazy sound Two a crazy acceleration It's just a nice little kick you get out of it Truly amazing Just a little trick to look at Not very polished The only thing we have is such a M logo It is very functional This is what a traditional engine looks like Traditional It is absolutely not traditional Super modern But you probably understand what I mean Nice The performances Do I still need to convince you Naturally top speed of 250 km per hour But in most convertibles you really don't go all the way through Especially not with the top down That's all possible Sprint to the hundred Five seconds But you have to do that well yourself That's also quite fun Drive the clutch smoothly Shift gears on time Exactly at that redline At 8000 RPM It's actually quite clever Listen up You're hearing that maybe not all that well But for me as a driver to just have the accelerator pedal under control here Lovely He also just wants to have fun down there Everything falls into place in terms of operation So my hand immediately falls on the gear lever The steering wheel is just nicely straight in front of me Look out There are only two gauges Old-fashioned gauges Just regular analog gauges Speedometer Something I've always found very cool A yellow block at 7500 RPM And from 8000 RPM it turns red with those lights When your engine is cold you'll notice the blocks turn a bit more orange and red To protect your own engine for a moment You should naturally drive him around for a while to warm him up properly Further inside the interior That's kind of funny Those Germans thought we had to emphasize the lightweight a bit Do you have leather trim They have a sort of carbon look That's actually not ugly or anything But it's particularly notable that they did that back then there Incidentally they did actually save weight Magnesium for example for the roof frame But also aluminum for the trunk lid Just to make the car a little lighter When I'm steering like this A lot of steering feel And that's coming This is hydraulic power steering Where the Z4 had further electric power steering And that was where all the purists strongly objected You have less sensation with an electric toothbrush This one still has sensation though Nice isn't it To know that they have adjusted it About those little things Can I take this roundabout here with great caution No you'll notice it while driving This is just a nice package of hardware Those they have set up It just sounds good to have the cap open That remains really fun in KW With a sporty car You'll just hear more about it Would you like to learn more about this BMW Z4 M Roadster In Imola red Check it out at thecollectables nl
