The BMW Z4 3.0si and M Coupé
In the words of Adrian van Hooydonk, Head of BMW Brand Design, “the new BMW Z4 Coupé is best described as a Pocket GT”. The car has been designed to feel ‘shrink-wrapped’ around its components and occupants to create the tightest-packaged high-performance long-distance GT car possible.
The new BMW Z4 Coupé was developed as an ‘unofficial’ special project by BMW’s design team during the development process of the Z4 Roadster. Once the Coupé got the green light for production in 2005, it was then a relatively simple task to integrate it with the underpinnings of the new Roadster. The Z4’s dynamic chassis and unique engine technology combine successfully with the new Coupé package. The addition of the Coupé’s exceptionally rigid body shell ensures that the new fixed-head offers unsurpassed levels of traction and agility for the ‘ultimate’ driving experience.
