BMW has been blessed with many award-winning designs, including the BMW Z4 of 2005. There are two trim levels to the Z4, including 2.5i and 3.0i. The 2.5i version is one of the more popular options. Like in 2004 the popular 2.5 liter has made this a popular choice for convertible buyers around the world.
Performance
The Z4 2.5i is equipped with a BMW 2.5 liter six-cylinder engine that utilizes 24 valves. The engine is mated to 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.
The fuel system for the 2005 Z4 is a traditional Siemens MS 45, running on gasoline fuel. The fuel is controlled by an electronic system and is a fuel-injected MFI design. The capacity of the fuel tank is 14.50 gallons.
