BMW Z4

The Z4 3.0i is equipped with a BMW 3.0 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.

Statistics

The dimensions of the Z4 3.0i are 70.10 inches wide by 161.10 inches long. It sits 51.10 inches off the ground. It seats a standard two passengers, with 2 doors. The wheelbase of 98.20 allows for extra leg room for the rear passengers.

The standard warranty period for the Z4 is 60* months, or 50,000* miles, whichever comes first. This is standard in the convertible market.

The original manufacturer suggested retail price (MSRP) was $34,300 when new, with a dealer invoice cost of $31,395. This price was in line with the industry average price for a 2-door Convertible.

Fuel Efficiency

The Z4 3.0i received a miles-per-gallon rating of 20 - 21 in-city driving and twenty eight when it came to highway driving. Being a gas-powered non-hybrid car, this was within normal parameters.

Parting Shots

The 2005 model year was very successful for the BMW Z4. The introduction of several trim levels (along with the 3.0i version) meant that buyers could find the version that best suited their needs.
