The Stunning BMW Z4 coupe seen at the 2005 Frankfurt Motor
show is an extension of the Z4 range. The well adjusted
lines of the coupe do justice to the original
convertible Z4 model on which the concept is based.
The Z4 coupe will not stay a concept for long as a production
model is planned for 2006.
A longitudinally mounted 3.0L straight-six engine developing
265 bhp powers the rear wheels of the coupe providing
maximum driver enjoyment, this is a drivers car.
The 19 inch wheels BMW has displayed on the coupe are
pushed to the very extremes of the car, like the convertible.
The Z4 coupe also shares the multiple clashing style lines
that create interesting shapes all over the cars body,
from every angle new shadows and shapes are seen.
BMW designed the interior of the coupe to appear spacious
and inviting, enhanced on this concept by the use of light
coloured materials. The interior trim material of choice
is aluminium for the racing feel, along with nubuck leather
for luxury.
It is worth noting that both the BMW Z4 convertible and
Porsche Boxster gained hard top siblings at the Frankfurt
motor show (see Porsche
Cayman), an indication of a growing market segment.
