A. <k < fc *r * <- <r V v * € <• K 5- * •f. <• The BMW Z4 roadster from first glance is racy, however it is a classic sport car with a long front and short rear end and a roomy interior. It was introduced in 2003 to replace the previous Z3 model which was smaller is size. The BMW has improved the Z model with the Z4. The Z4 2.5 liter in-line engine offers great performance, going from 0-60 in a matter o f 6.9 sec onds. The com bination of electric power steering and the aluminum intensive suspensions adds great handling and precision o f steer ing. One might think that it would be an uncomfortable ride being low to ground, however the stiffer structure provides a stable ride over bumpy surfaces. T he interior has a soph isti cated, streamline look. Itisroom y enough for a larger individual, how ever no m atter what size you are, it takes som e effort to get out o f the vehicle. It is short on space for storage and even d if ficult to find a space for a purse if there is a passenger in the car. T he trunk sp ace has enough room for a p air o f g o lf bags and clubs. Letting the top down and the windows you find that it still has low impact on the road noise and is easy to hear the radio or have a conversation. With the top up, there is limited visibility for the driver. It was fun and exhilarating to drive. It took me back to remember the stars o f the 50s, with the excite ment of winding through the coun try roads with scraf blowing in the wind.
