BMW présentera l’édition exclusive « First » de la nouvelle voiture de sport découvrable au Pebble Beach Golf Links à Monterrey en Californie.

Munich/Monterey. BMW has redefined the roadster which will be revealed under the Californian sun. On 23 August 2018, the Pebble Beach Golf Links near Monterey, the well-known venue of the Concours d’Elegance being held there a little later, will become the setting for the world premiere of the new BMW Z4. With dynamic proportions, emotional design and fascinating sportiness, the open-top two-seater will take the classic roadster concept into the world of today and tomorrow. In Pebble Beach, the Munich-based premium carmaker will present the exclusive BMW Z4 M40i First Edition (combined fuel consumption: 7.1-7.4 l/100 km; combined CO2 emissions: 162-168 g/km*). The limited special edition of the roadster inspires not only with the agility, precision and dynamic handling characteristics that are so typical of BMW M Performance models, but also with particularly sophisticated design and equipment features, including a body paintwork in Frozen Orange metallic.
The new edition of the roadster will celebrate its
world premiere at precisely the same location that served as the stage
for the first public presentation of the BMW Concept Z4 last year.
With its puristic, dynamic and progressive design language, the
concept vehicle presented a vision of a charismatic sports car which,
thanks to the production model, now becomes reality. Just a glance at
the new BMW Z4’s proportions leaves no doubt about its dynamic
potential. The central sitting position for the driver, the low centre
of gravity, perfectly balanced 50 : 50 axle load distribution, wide
tracks and a compact wheelbase form the ideal prerequisites for
inspiringly agile handling and intense driving pleasure.
The BMW Z4 M40i First Edition fulfils these
expectations in every aspect thanks to an extremely powerful
250 kW/340 hp, straight six-cylinder engine and a sports suspension
with electronically controlled dampers, M Sport braking system and an
electronically controlled M Sport differential in the rear axle
transmission. The BMW M Performance automobile takes a mere 4.6
seconds to sprint from a standstill to 100 km/h.
Vertically aligned headlights, the BMW kidney
grille sporting a mesh design, the bonnet stretching sports car-like
over the wheels, large air breathers on the front wheel arches and the
distinctive spoiler integrated into the rear lid all contribute
towards the characteristic look of the new BMW Z4. The design of the
interior also places the focus on the puristic sportiness of the new
BMW Z4. The driver-oriented cockpit styling is underscored by dynamic
forward-oriented lines. Likewise, the clearly structured arrangement
of all control elements enhances the focus on the driving experience
inside the new BMW Z4.
Moreover, for a perfect start into a new roadster
era, the new BMW Z4 M40i First Edition offers specific design and
equipment features that add exclusive accents to the car’s sporty
flair. The expressive body paintwork in Frozen Orange metallic is
combined with an electrically operated textile soft top in anthracite
with silver effect, the BMW Individual High Gloss Shadow Line, black
exterior mirror caps and 19-inch light alloy wheels boasting a
bicolour, double spoke design. The interior of the edition model
comprises the Vernasca black leather trim with decorative stitching,
electrically adjustable seats with memory function, the option ambient
light and the Harman Kardon Surround Sound System. Adaptive LED
headlights with matrix function for the high beam, BMW Head-Up Display
featured for the first time in a roadster and the BMW Live Cockpit
Professional offering the latest networking technology underpin the
advanced status the tradition-steeped concept of a two-seater,
open-top sports car has reached with the new BMW Z4.
The world premiere of the BMW Z4 M40i First Edition in Pebble Beach offers a both exclusive and fascinating foretaste of the forthcoming on-road debut of the new roadster generation. BMW will announce all details of further engine variants, technical innovations and the diverse equipment features of the two-seater on 19 September 2018. This will be followed a short time later by the trade fair premiere of the new BMW Z4 at the Mondial de l’Automobile (4 – 14 October 2018) in Paris. The worldwide market launch will commence in the spring of 2019.
