BMW Z4 ROADSTER TO THE BRIM

We got to drive the latest BMW Z4 in its M40i trim in the Ghats of Maharashtra and here’s what it made us feel

BMW Z4 ROADSTER TO THE BRIM
ROADSTERS... ah… what cars. Driving a roadster is perhaps the closest you can come to feel like riding a motorcycle but with four wheels and a steering wheel. The wind in your hair, the organic oneness with nature, and the gasps on the road are part and parcel of the roadster experience. And while there are many cars that try to pull off this ‘sacred’ act, not many come close to the OG- Z. BMW Z. In this particular case, the new BMW Z4 that we recently got to drive.

That is a tall claim but the stature and the legacy of the BMW Z4 is more than enough to stake that claim. How many times have you seen 007 go topless (in perhaps the only way it matters to us petrolheads)? Not many. And the few times it has happened, Bond found himself at the helm of a BMW Z. The Z3 in Golden Eye (1995) and the Z8 in The World is Not Enough (1999).

Heck, even our desi Greek God found himself driving one in probably one of the most iconic songs of the 2000s. In the blockbuster film that we shall not name, the better Hrithik Roshan drove a BMW Z3. I think just these 2 examples are enough to ascertain the popularity that the BMW Z series has been enjoying for a while. Now before we start to talk about the latest iteration, let’s talk a little bit about what the Z is all about.
