If you enjoyed the past BMW Z4 Roadster models or the Z4 Coupe, make way for the successor to both models, the re-designed, turbocharged Z4 Roadster, debuting in European showrooms mid-2009. Incorporating some innovative features, such as a retractable hardtop and a seven-speed sports automatic transmission (the sDrive 35i version features the sportier, more robust engine), BMW's latest Roadster might just be the perfect solution to car enthusiasts looking for sporty performance and sleek, modern design. Perhaps the most interesting feature of all is BMW's signature iDrive control system, which makes driving a more natural experience by incorporating technological conveniences, such as an on-board hard disk drive for entertainment, as well as GPS navigation, all enhanced in a logical user-interface.
Exclusively from BMW are some hand-on driving clips and interior / exterior footage of the Z4 sDrive 35i, compiled into a montage, featured below.
