For most people, there are a lot of reasons for not wanting to choose a model, for example, for a roadster, many people like but will not consider, the reason is nothing more than not enough money, the practicality is too poor, even for young consumers, when there is enough budget, they may still think it is better to buy a car that flaunts performance. But when you meet a sports car on the road, it is obviously easy to be attracted, and the kind of emotion that suddenly jumps out of your heart lets you know for yourself that what you lack most in this life is a roadster. When you have it, in the afternoon when the weather is very good, open the open top to take friends to the beach for a ride, go to the mountains to breathe fresh air, the joy of life is not there?
And BMW Z4, perhaps our closest model to a luxury roadster, as the most special series of BMW, Z4 development to today is also the end, because the future is a pure electric version, this generation of Z4 internal combustion engine will be the final chapter. From the price point of view, the new car 4888-62.98 million yuan guidance price is also more reasonable, after all, 500,000 budget can buy an imported roadster, and it with the same platform to build toyota SUPRA price is more expensive, so does not a look highlight bmw's sincerity? Today we are also fortunate to experience the real car, let's talk to you about the 2022 sDrive 25i M sports night suit, after all, the M40i version of the average person will not think too much.
First look at the design, this generation of BMW Z4 uses the latest BMW family language, but also because of the unique place of the Z series, so the details are not the same as the BMW 4 Series coupe. For example, in the front part, the flattened air intake grille with the sharp LED headlight group on both sides has obviously not yet come to the stage of BMW's larger double kidney grille, including the two side headlight groups are not "angel eye" style. However, the visual effect created is achieved for this entry trot, and with the blessing of the M Sports Night Kit, the sense of movement will naturally not be bad.
As a sports car, I believe that no one will pay attention to the size, although the BMW Z4 is indeed small, the length, width and height of the real model are 4336 * 1867 * 1322mm, and the wheelbase is 2470mm. To say that this figure, that is at most comparable to the small sedan, but because of the unique sports car positioning of the BMW Z4, the real car looks more domineering, especially after the open top is opened, seeing the layout of only 2 seats, it also looks bigger. It is worth mentioning that the soft-top convertible of the new car can be opened and closed within 10 seconds, so the most beautiful time for the BMW Z4 is when the convertible is opened, which is a little worse than the side fluency of some hardtop sports cars.
The tail design is also eye-catching, and the concept of a wide flat has been running through here, which is also like the BMW 8 Series, so that the aura of the whole car is enhanced again. And the slender LED tail light group after lighting up also brings a good degree of recognition, turn signals, brake lights and width lights have shown a certain sense of refinement, at this time with the aerodynamic design of the rear surround, the only regret may be that only the M40i model has a flat bilateral exhaust layout, other versions are double out of the circular design, it looks not coordinated enough.
After the exterior is enough to pull the wind, does the interior still matter? As an entry-level roadster under BMW, the unique positioning did not allow it to escape the family language, sitting in the BMW Z4 car, the feeling is no different from the 3 Series, but the sitting posture is relatively low, but it can not be significantly different from the 3 Series, so when you get used to the BMW sitting posture, getting started with the Z4 is only a matter of minutes. The equipment of the M steering wheel, which is also one of BMW's classic designs, is known for its coarseness, but it is indeed a bit coarse, with the rear 12.3-inch full LCD instrument, which can only be described as no surprise and no slot point.
The configuration is still rich, such as parallel assist, lane departure warning, adaptive cruise and other functions can be optional, while automatic parking, reversing image and steering wheel shift and other functions are standard. However, the comfort configuration can be ignored, like the front seats support multi-directional electric adjustment, but only the heating function can be considered, including harman Kardon audio in addition to the top version also need to be optional, and only 8-9 speakers, the atmosphere light is only 11 colors, not particularly good, but can also meet the basic needs of travel.
Surprisingly, the comfort brought by the BMW Z4 seat is reasonable to say that the sports car will not pay special attention to the riding experience, but the BMW Z4 positioning is not a sports car that pursues the ultimate performance, it is more in the city shuttle. First of all, the seat integrated modeling, it seems that the sense of sport is in place, and the wrapping of the seat is no problem, the real shooting model is still covered with red leather, with multi-directional electric adjustment, drivers and occupants of different figures can also find their own posture. In fact, after the convertible is opened, the moment when the frameless door is opened to get on the car should be the most attractive time.
Finally, talking about power, what do you need for the performance of sports cars? At present, the BMW Z4 is available in 2.0T and 3.0T engines, while the 2.0T version is a low-power tuning, with a maximum power of 145 kW and a maximum torque of 320 N·m, but all models are equipped with 8AT gearboxes. According to official data, the 2.0T version of the 100-kilometer acceleration is 6.7 seconds, and the measured results are basically within 6.5 seconds, which is enough to meet the basic driving needs. Of course, the pursuit of more extreme performance, that also has to be 3.0T version, 4.5 seconds can break the hundred.
Summary: Appearance is not the weakness of bmw Z4, and the functional configuration is also in line with the mainstream of the car, so for young consumers who like sports cars and want to own a sports car, it has a temptation that is difficult to refuse. However, it should be noted that this sports car is not the pursuit of the ultimate performance, so it is not as manly as the Jaguar F-TYPE for men, so the Z4 has become a better recommendation for the little sister car.
