A wide track, an extremely low centre of gravity, optimum 50:50 axle load distribution and very precise steering (electric power steering) help to give the new Z4 its outstanding agility. And it almost goes without saying that fading-free high-performance brakes, runflat tires featured as standard and Dynamic Stability Control (DSC III) with an on-demand traction mode guarantee supreme driving safety in all situations. Last but certainly not least, the BMW Z4 offers crash safety of the highest standard.
Dials and instruments housed beneath sporting hoods on the dashboard allow the driver of the Z4 to keep a close eye at all times on all the functions of this car. Options available include a sophisticated navigation system with 16:9 display retracting fully into the instrument panel and a top hifi system in carver technology for powerful bass reproduction. Standard features of the new Z4 include a leather sports steering wheel, a rollover safety system, and lots of spacious storage compartments.
The BMW Z4 roadster will be entering the Canadian market in October of this year, then making its appearance in Europe in spring 2003.
