A Better 2007′s Model: The BMW Z4 for 2008
There have been several award-winning cars from BMW over the years, including the BMW Z4 of 2008. There are five trim levels to the Z4, including Roadster 3.0si, Roadster 3.0i, M Roadster, M Coupe, and Coupe 3.0si. The Roadster 3.0si version is one of the more popular options, outselling other configurations. Like in 2007 the popular 3.0 liter has made this a popular choice for convertible buyers nationwide.
Under the Hood
The restyled Z4 Roadster 3.0si is equipped with a 3.0-liter 6-cylinder engine that utilizes a total of 24 valves. The engine is paired with a ZF 6-speed transmission. This configuration has proven to be a successful design for BMW.
The Z4 uses power-assisted brakes, with 4-Wheel ABS support. The front brakes are disc while the rear brakes are disc. Steering is handled through a power-steering rack-style configuration. The car uses coil and coil springs front and rear respectively.
Z4 Roadster 3.0si Statistics
The Z4 is 161.10 inches long, 70.10 inches wide, and 51.10 inches high. It has a wheelbase of 98.20 inches. It is able to seat 2 comfortably.
The listed retail price in 2008 (MSRP) was $42,400, with an invoice cost of $39,010. This price is slightly higher than the industry average price for a two-door Convertible.
Fuel Efficiency
The fuel system for the 2008 Z4 is a Siemens MS 70 design, running on gasoline fuel. The fuel flow is regulated by a electronic system and is a fuel-injected MFI design. The storage capacity of the fuel tank is 14.50 gallons.
The Z4 Roadster 3.0si received a miles-per-gallon rating of 18 - 19 in-city driving and twenty eight when it came to long-distance. Being a gas-powered non-hybrid car, this was subpar.
In Summary
The 2008 model year was unsuccessful for the BMW Z4. The introduction of several trim levels (along with the Roadster 3.0si version) meant that buyers had several options to choose from..
