Future perfect. The BMW Roadster reborn.
Introduce yourself to the all-new  BMW Z Roadster, a joyous expression of art and innovation in one exhilarating package. Refreshing
and stylish, the all-new Z launches roadster design and performance into the next decade and beyond. Its classic characteristics –
a long hood, powerful haunches, swept-back seats and broad, aggressive front end – are enhanced by a mastery of modern innovation.
A lightning-fast transmission, with reﬁned steering and suspension, paints the car into curves like a brush. Attention to safety and comfort
features in the enlarged cabin have reached luxurious new heights. And topping it all off is an ingenious, retractable hardtop that makes
driving the all-new Z Roadster a decidedly year-round experience. This is style and performance for any season.

Design, engineering, grace. All in one package.
Start the engine and the broad front end snarls with anticipation, invoking the wealth of power at your command. The all-new Z’s long hood arches
forward from the windshield, sweeping over the front wheels and down to the dual Xenon headlights astride the familiar kidney grille. Behind the
low-slung cockpit, the tail end rises like a wave of power yearning to break over the asphalt. Put the car in gear and pour yourself into heart-stirring
curves, then thunder over the open roadways. Make your destinations as rustic or as elegant as you please. You’ll arrive with a thrilling display of
power and grace.

Impressions on an asphalt canvas.
From the classic seating – strategically swept back over the Roadster’s road-hugging, rear-wheel thrust – you’ll discover a broad palette of
innovations to color your travels. The -speed Double Clutch Transmission shifts with imperceptible efficiency automatically, or manually by
using the paddles on the sports leather steering wheel. At a single touch, the Driving Dynamics Control feature lets you select the muscular
SPORT or SPORT+ settings, or NORMAL’s more cushioned ride, conditioning the responses of the gas pedal, power steering, shifting and stability
thresholds. Roadsters with Adaptive M Suspension adjust the damper over a range of conditions for greater road feel or a perfectly smooth drive;
select the SPORT setting and you’ll experience athletic agility. The variety of performance settings at your command provides a personalized
collage of driving experiences. Whatever your medium, welcome to the art of the road.

A roadster – and a ride – for all seasons.
From the sunshine of South Beach to the snows of New England, you’ll ﬁnd the all-new Z Roadster hungry to explore a whole year’s worth of
driving conditions. Star gazing in Monterey? At the push of a button, the retractable aluminum hardtop folds into the trunk in just  seconds.
Showers in Seattle? It shelters the cabin just as quickly. The hardtop also minimizes external noise while providing class-leading visibility at every
point of the compass. Ample storage features, from discreetly folding compartments in the cabin to the trunk’s through-loading system, provide
space for all your accessories. The all-new Z Roadster produces a special kind of everyday practicality: one that lets you leave the everyday behind.

Interior 18 | 19
From the driver’s seat, it’s obvious you are in a BMW Roadster. Access to the Z’s instrumentation and controls is precise and intuitive, clear
and angled towards you. Inviting to the touch, the controls seem to come spontaneously to hand. When equipped with iDrive, the navigation,
entertainment and communications buttons of the Controller are sculpted for easy tactile identiﬁcation; you can operate numerous on-board
systems instinctively with the push of a button or the turn of a knob. A high-resolution .-inch Control Display renders pictures and text in rich,
colorful detail; when not needed, it folds away into the dash. Every aspect of this cockpit was designed with one thing in mind: so there would
be nothing to distract you from the thrill of the drive.

Enhancing the thrill is the true order of the day. Take in the landscape and pursue your farthest horizons from a cabin that’s both alluring and
elegant. The all-new Z’s sport seats offer signiﬁcantly more shoulder and elbow room than its predecessor; with the top up, head room is increased,
as well. BMW’s Sun-Reﬂ ective Technology helps keep leather surfaces cooler to the touch, even when the top is left down. The interior shown here
is particularly radiant. Upholstered in exclusive Ivory White Nappa Leather with striking Anthracite wood trim, it exudes power and sophistication.
The dash and upper door panels are luxuriously upholstered in Black Extended Leather, while stylish double seams whisper of craftsmanship and
luxury. The all-new Z Roadster interior: designed for both adventure – and luxury.

transmission structures in one large housing. First, third, fifth and seventh gears are grouped in one structure; second, fourth and sixth gears are
grouped in the other. When upshifting or downshifting, the system switches between the two structures, so that while one gear is being disengaged,
the next is already in position. Shifting takes milliseconds, adjusting thrust between heartbeats and without a moment’s loss of force. This dynamic
connection to the engine gives you precise power for every situation – from acceleration and cornering, to grand slaloms through hills and mountains.
And along the drive, the automatic transmission allows you to choose between two driving systems: the smooth comfort of D mode, or S mode for
sportier shifting. For a still more seamless connection to the engine and the road, use the racing-inspired shift paddles on the sport steering wheel.
Whatever your driving style, we’ve got the perfect transmission for you.

BMW and the environment.
BMW is a strong proponent of the environment and social responsibility. It is important to manage the
earth’s resources responsibly, and not jeopardize the needs of future generations. That is why BMW makes
vehicles that minimize adverse environmental impact, from production (pollution prevention and waste
minimization at the plant) through owner use (low emissions) to eventual disposal (easy drainability of all
ﬂuid-related components and easy neutralization of all pyrotechnic devices).
This effort has been recognized worldwide and, as a result, we are pleased to have received numerous
environmental honors. In the U.S., for example, the Environmental Protection Agency accepted BMW’s
Spartanburg, SC production and manufacturing facility as a charter member of the agency’s National
Environmental Performance Track. Internationally, BMW AG – the parent company of both BMW of
North America and BMW Manufacturing Co., Spartanburg, SC – was the ﬁrst automotive company to
be represented on the Dow Jones Sustainability Group Index, and has remained on the Index ever since.
At BMW, we strive for high performance in everything we do.
