2005 BMW Z4 3.0i

For those of us that love roadsters and driving with the top down (I have the sun blisters on my ears to prove it), we realistically have one manufacturer to thank: Mazda. Without the MX-5 Miata, there would not have been any Porsche Boxster, BMW Z3, Mercedes SLK and Honda S2000. Since late 1989, the above-mentioned car makers have taken the roadster revival and added their own distinctive twists to their offerings.
