BMW Z4 Cabrio

The Z4 is a two-door, two-seater roadster with a sophisticated powered folding metal top. With the roof in place the car is a hard-top coupe, when the roof folds down you’ve got an open-top sports car instead. This ingenious metal roof adds security and robustness compared to the fabric soft-top of some rivals.

And if you hire a BMW Z4 you’ll discover the benefits of rear-wheel drive. This traditional mechanical arrangement places the engine under that long sleek hood in the front but powering the wheels at the back. This creates a balance that aids predictable and agile handling. Thanks to a sophisticated suspension system the Z4 is also a smooth and refined grand tourer with a comfortable ride.

The Z4’s exterior body design is deliberately muscular and purposeful. It’s a two-door, two-seater. Inside, the cabin is trimmed with upmarket materials. There’s a solid finish and feel to the materials and controls. There’s a long list of standard equipment too: you’ll enjoy a DAB radio, climate control, Bluetooth and powerful xenon headlights.

Expect exciting performance. Acceleration is very brisk, even from a standstill, and long-distance, high-speed cruising is the Z4’s strongpoint. Expect very reasonable fuel economy too.
