The BMW Z4 Roadster and the BMW Z4 Coupe in the model year 2008: Exclusive editions and increased efficiency.

Munich. Whether the sheer elegance and fun of open-air driving in the
Roadster, or the uncompromising sportiness of the Coupe - in either
case the BMW Z4 is the embodiment of BMW-characteristic driving
pleasure in a particularly intensive form. In the model year 2008, the
racy two-seater will become even more attractive thanks to new
equipment features. The special editions Exclusive and Sport, which are
now available for the BMW Z4 Roadster and, starting October 2007, also
for the BMW Z4 Coupe, include an attractive combination of premium
equipment packages. Thanks to the new editions, the BMW Z4 Roadster and
the BMW Z4 Coupe will soon emerge as exceptionally fascinating models
and also offer customers price advantages of up to 1,438 Euros.
Moreover, for the model year 2008, the power train technology is to be
refined even further. All six-cylinder models will feature an
innovative rear axle transmission. As a result of this measure it was
possible to further optimise fuel consumption and emission levels for
the models BMW Z4 Coupe 3.0si, BMW Z4 Roadster 3.0si, BMW Z4 Roadster
2.5si and BMW Z4 Roadster 2.5i. Likewise, the BMW Z4 Roadster 2.0i will
also reach an optimum level of efficiency in the model year 2008.
With these upgrade measures, BMW is asserting its ability to establish
an optimum ratio between driving dynamics and fuel consumption through
exemplary technical innovation in all vehicle segments. This is
possible due to measures implemented to reduce fuel consumption and
emission levels conceived within the framework of the BMW
EfficientDynamics development strategy and now being successively
deployed in all series. These measures include a friction-optimised
rear axle transmission for the six-cylinder versions of the BMW Z4.
Thanks to this innovation, the Roadster and the Coupe are able to
further strengthen their leading position in their respective class,
both in terms of fuel economy as well as CO2 emission levels. Average
fuel consumption of the 195 kW/265 bhp BMW Z4 Roadster 3.0si has now
dropped to 8.5 litres/100 km in the EU test cycle. In the case of the
BMW Z4 Coupe 3.0si, average fuel consumption has been reduced to 8.7
litres/100 km. Likewise, with a fuel consumption of 8.3/100 km and 8.2
litres/100 km respectively, both the BMW Z4 Roadster 2.5si (160 kW/218
bhp) and the BMW Z4 Roadster 2.5i (130 kW/177 bhp) offer an unrivalled
ratio between driving performance and fuel economy. With its
four-cylinder power unit boasting 110 kW/150 bhp and an average fuel
consumption of just 7.4 litres/100 km, the BMW Z4 Roadster 2.0i will
mark the model year 2008 by achieving a maximum in fuel economy.
