2007 BMW Z4 Coupe
Cozy Coupe
The BMW Z4 Coupe is a diminutive two-seater powered by a peppy six-cylinder engine.
The coupe’s swept-back hatchback design and the fact that there is no need to accommodate a folding convertible top also creates more cargo space. It looks unlikely from the outside, but the BMW Z4 Coupe will hold not one, but two (moderately sized) golf bags.

The six-cylinder engine in the BMW Z4 Coupe makes use of lightweight magnesium construction. A six-speed manual transmission is standard. A six-speed automatic gearbox is optional. The automatic can be taken through the gears manually via steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters.
The BMW Z4 Coupe has a fairly stiff but corner-hugging suspension. Run-flat tires allow a driver with a flat to keep driving at a reduced speed far enough to reach a safe place to pull off the road, and/or to reach a service facility where the tire can be repaired or changed.
BMW’s responsive Servotronic electric speed-sensitive power steering is standard. An optional Sport Package includes Dynamic Driving Control, which allows the driver to select quicker throttle action, reduced power-steering assist and a sport mode for the automatic transmission (if so equipped). It also comes with different front/rear tire sizes, an even tauter sport suspension and a lower ride height for crisper cornering.
BMW's stability control system is standard. It uses throttle and brake control to help minimize wheel spin and prevent a loss of control during extreme handling maneuvers. This system further incorporates an expanded range of braking functions. Brake Standby reacts when the driver suddenly lifts off the accelerator, anticipating hard braking, and snugs the brake pads against the rotors. Start-Off Assistant automatically engages the brakes on an incline to prevent the car from rolling back when the driver lifts off the brake pedal to depress the accelerator.

Options include heavily bolstered M Sport seats and a navigation system.
Besides the base BMW Z4 Coupe and Roadster models, BMW also offers higher-performance M Coupe and M Roadster models.
BMW covers all factory-recommended maintenance for four years or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first.
Your budget and lifestyle can afford a quick and agile, two-seat coupe.
You need a larger vehicle that can hold more than one other passenger or prefer a convertible.
As with most small sports cars, interior space is at a premium, and it takes some dexterity to climb in and out; if you’re 5 feet, 9 inches or taller, you’re guaranteed to bump your head on the way in.
BMW’s current Z4 line dates back to 1996, when it was called the Z3 and made a big splash by debuting (if only briefly) as James Bond’s ride of choice in the film GoldenEye. It was recast for the 2003 model year as the Z4 with a broader-shouldered and “more masculine” appearance. As with the previous generation, it’s built in the automaker’s U.S. manufacturing facility in Spartanburg, S.C.
