BMW Z3 and Z4 Retro Review: Celebrating roadsters and clown shoes
The original E85 Z4 produced from 2002 to 2008 came straight out of the love/hate Chris Bangle era of BMW designs, and if I’m honest, I think it’s aged horribly. Some specs look better than others, of course – the Z4 M Coupe is an obvious bit of brilliance – but these cars just don’t do it for me aesthetically. No, not even with the cool Z-shaped creases on the sides.
Notable features of the original Z4 included a flip-up infotainment screen with built-in navigation, part of BMW’s early iDrive infotainment suite. And because of the success of the Z3 Coupe, a Z4 Coupe was in the cards all along, with a more exaggerated sloping hatchback and double-bubble roof. I feel like everyone forgets about the E89-generation Z4 , but I suppose I can see why. There was no M version, and because this Z4 had a power-folding hardtop, there was never a proper coupe. I think these cars still look great, but they just don’t stand out the way the Z3 and original Z4 did – even in brightBMW offered everything from a 2.0-liter turbo inline-four engine with stop/start to more powerful naturally aspirated inline-six models.
