Exterior 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.

Exterior 08 | 09 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.

Exterior 14 | 15 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.
Exterior 16 | 17 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?

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.
Interior 20 | 21 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-Reflective Technology helps keep leather surfaces cooler to the touch, even when the top is left down. The interior shown here is particularly radiant.

Safety features 40 | 41 Shelter in any storm. The engineering of the all-new Z Roadster is focused as much on safety as on performance.

It enhances braking traction on slippery surfaces, and acts to keep the brakes dry when it senses moisture.
About BMW 42 | 43 The joy of driving – finally captured on canvas. Some people dream in color. The Z Roadster drives in color. That’s the vision of artist Robin Rhode, who was commissioned to introduce the next-generation Z in his own, individual style. His paintbrush: a new Z outfitted with special paint nozzles. Rhode first finger-painted his idea on paper, then choreographed it as a series of time-lapse sketches.
