The World Premiere of the All-New BMW Z4 in Pebble Beach.

The Roadster reloaded: World premiere of the new BMW Z4 in Pebble Beach.
BMW to present exclusive First Edition of the new open-top sports car at Pebble Beach

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 driveroriented
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 twoseater
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.
