2010 bmw z4 review this car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale. Fun, fast and a folding hardtop. introductionthe current bmw z4, introduced for the 2009 model year, is the second generation of the z4 name and is as much a completely new car from its predecessor as it is reasonably possible to be. It continues into 2010 with essentially no changes. the z4 sports a retractable hardtop, a departure from any previous two-seat bmw. The retractable hardtop replaces the roadster and coupe versions of previous-generation (pre-2009) z4 models with one car. In terms of a pure sports car, we liked the base z4 sdrive30i with the optional sport package. The performance and feel of balanced precision is there in every z4. The higher-performance z4 sdrive35i with the dual-clutch gearbox gets close to the previous m roadster as a track-day tool. while some will choose a z4 based solely on the badge and others solely on style, over time they will learn the real reasons, both objective and emotional, behind the car and why they want to keep it. The z4 is also far more practical. for 2010 the z4 is offered in two models, the sdrive30i and sdrive35i. In current bmw nomenclature, sdrive refers to rear-wheel drive. However, there are no xdrive (all-wheel-drive) z4s and no m model has been announced. Yet. due later in the spring of 2010, as a 2011 model, is the z4 sdrive35is, which will deliver even more performance than the already-quick sdrive35i. It will also have enhanced aerodynamic and handling features, unique wheels, distinctive exterior appearance trim and details, and interior comfort and feature upgrades. lineupthe 2010 bmw z4 sdrive30i 46,000) comes with a 3. 0-liter inline six-cylinder engine of 255 horsepower at 6600 rpm, 220 pound-feet of torque at 2600 rpm and a six-speed manual transmission; a six-speed sport automatic with shift paddles is optional 1,375). It's delivered with faux leather leatherette upholstery, manual climate control, power retractable hardtop, heated power mirrors and rear window, six-way manual bucket seats, tilt/telescoping steering wheel, rain-sensing wipers, power windows and locks, trip computer and adaptive bi-xenon headlamps. Options include brushed aluminum or ash wood trim 500) and the kansas leather upholstery 1,250) from the sdrive35i. the z4 sdrive35i 51,900) has a 3. 0-liter inline-6 that delivers 300 horsepower at 5800 rpm and 300 pound-feet of torque from 1400 to 5000 rpm; it is a different engine than the 30i and employs twin turbochargers. A six-speed manual gearbox is standard and a seven-speed dual-clutch automated manual optional 1,575). Other mechanical upgrades include larger brakes and wider rear tires and wheels. Cabin upgrades include standard leather upholstery, brushed aluminum trim or ash wood, and automatic dual-zone climate control. Kansas leather upholstery on the dash, visors, and door sills 1,350) is optional, along with a 19-inch wheel upgrade to the sport package 1,200). options for the sdrive30i and sdrive35i include navigation 2,100); comfort access 500); park distance control 750); satellite radio 350); smartphone integration 150); anti-theft alarm 400); and metallic paint 550). The cold weather package 1,000) includes heated steering wheel and seats, storage pack, through-loading system, and headlight washers. The premium package includes auto-dimming mirrors, gate opener, power seats with lumbar and driver memory, ambient light package, bmw assist, and leather on the 30i. Premium sound 2,000) adds a six-disc dvd changer, hi-fi sound system, and ipod/usb adapter. The sport package adds 18-inch alloy wheels and run-flat performance tires, adaptive m suspension, and sport seats; 19-inch wheels are also available. Exclusive ivory white nappa leather is available, along with anthracite wood trim. the sdrive35is features an engine with increased intake air flow and increased boost pressure to deliver even more power. Its maximum output is 335 horsepower at 5800 rpm and 332 pound-feet of torque from 1500 to 4500 rpm. In addition, its engine management system includes an electronically-controlled overboost function which allows briefly increasing torque by another 37 pound-feet, for a temporary peak of 369 pound-feet and a significant increase in acceleration. While the sdrive35i will accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 5. 1 seconds, the sdrive35is will do it in 4. 7 seconds. the sdrive35is has the seven-speed dual-clutch transmission as standard equipment, with the programming tailored to complement the nature of the car and engine. The sdrive35is also features some m sport upgrades, including m aerodynamics and adaptive m suspension, which combines a ride-height reduction of 10 millimeters with electronically-controlled shock absorbers to improve handling without compromising comfort. It also has special five-spoke 18-inch alloy wheels, with 19-inch wheels optionally available. Finally, it features aluminum trim bars in the outer air intakes, a rear bumper with accentuated surrounds on the tailpipes, and a rear diffuser finished on top in body color and below in a black textured surface. safety features for the z4 include frontal airbags, head/thorax side airbags in the seats, active knee protection, roll hoops, electronic stability, traction and braking controls, and tire-pressure monitoring. The only option that might be considered safety related is the park distance control. walkaroundclassic roadster proportions give the z4 a long hood and short decklid, shoulders over the wheel arches and tapers in three axes. The creases begun at the inner edge of the headlight housings, roll over the front fenders and lead back to bisect the door handles, while opposite lower sweeps started at the front bumper curve upward to the rear wheels. in side view it looks like a french curve over each wheel, the forward one twice the length of the rear, and from the driver's perch the hood seems to rise from the windshield base before falling off forward. We think it looks better with the top down but it's still relatively sleek top-up and has a similar closed profile to the big mercedes slr. Gills behind the front wheels carry the substantial badges and the side signal repeaters are now behind opaque panels in the gills; the bmw propeller logo is still here, but no longer serves to disguise the signal. a variety of wheel sizes and finishes are offered, and while the z4 is light and well-suspended enough that even 19-inch wheels can deliver decent ride quality, they might not work well with poor infrastructure (rough roads), and some wheel styles will require more cleaning effort. from dead-on at either end the top-dropped z4 has strong resemblance to a scaled-down version of the 6 series and its roadster precursor, the z8. Sections of the taillights look like horizontal light tubes and appear to ramp up like theater lights when the lights are switched on. The center brake light is midway between the rear window and the tail on the trunk lid where it will not interfere with rear vision but will be covered up by an inch of snow. A single side twin-exhaust outlet signals a 30i, while the 35i uses a single outlet on each side, a la z8. although front-end shaping is the same, with bmw's trademark corona (programmable) daytime running lights for instant identification, trim varies by model. The 30i has black vanes in its grille and a silver slash across the outer lower grilles, while the 35i has matte silver grille vanes and perimeter frames for the outer grilles. While the z4 is close to the ground the front overhang is shorter than many other sports cars and not prone to scraping at every speed bump or mild driveway entrance. the z4 is longer than the audi tt and mercedes-benz slk, shorter than the porsche boxster, but the difference is a few inches. In height and width, they are much closer, so exterior dimensions should not factor into purchase decisions. the z4 is now built in regensburg, germany. In bmw fashion, many systems on the z4 have been proven in other recent bmw models, including the higher-output engine, transmissions, and suspension design. interiorthe z4 cabin is immediately familiar to any bmw owner, with many of the munich builder's hallmarks: simple white-on-black analog instrumentation, sweeping driver-centric lines, functional controls, and a high level of fit and finish (apart from the molding seams on the map pockets).
