Sharing his thoughts on the launch, Dr Hans-Christian Baertels, President (act.) of BMW Group India said, 'BMW has a rich history of roadsters that have stood out as icons of pure driving pleasure. The all-new BMW Z4 Roadster is our brand-new addition to BMW’s long history of engrossing roadsters. With dynamic proportions, emotional design and thrilling sportiness, this open-top two-seater takes the classic roadster into the world of tomorrow. When the roof opens, there are no limits to driving pleasure in the all-new BMW Z4 Roadster.'
Both variants on offer will come with a single engine option each, meaning that the Z4 sDrive20i is powered by a two-litre inline four-cylinder petrol engine which develops 194bhp and 320Nm of torque, capable of doing the 0-100km/h run in 6.6 seconds. Meanwhile, the beefier M40i gets its firepower through a three-litre inline six-cylinder motor, which churns out 322bhp and 500Nm of torque and can do 100km/h from standstill in a matter of 4.5 seconds. Both motors belong to BMW's EfficientDynamics family and benefit from BMW's latest TwinPower Turbo technology. Further, both engines come mated to an 8-Speed Steptronic Sport Transmission.
