BMW Z4 Parts
It is simply foolish for an
auto manufacturing company to continue using the name of a particular
vehicle model that had for itself a bad reputation. Should they plan to
release an enhanced version of the same car, it would do them better if
they give it a new name. This is just what BMW did when they replaced
the problematic BMW Z3 with the BMW Z4. But mind you, the BMW Z4 is a
whole lot different from the Z3. It is an entirely new car with an
entirely new attitude.
The BMW Z4 is a 2-door rear wheel drive roadster introduced by
BMW in 2003 to replace the ailing BMW Z3. Many would think of the
roadster as just another generation for the BMW Z3. But with all the
revisions made, including a larger size, stiffer chassis and more
powerful engines, the BMW Z4 qualifies itself as a whole new vehicle,
thus justifying the change in name.
What makes the BMW Z4 an entirely different car from the BMW
Z3 are the various BMW Z4 parts it is equipped with and the brand new
design that the roadster sports. The vehicle's style was definitely
different, thanks to the "flame surfacing" design cues of BMW design
chief Chris Bangle. And while the roadster's front suspension was
essentially the same with the Z3, the multi-link rear suspension design
was its own.
In various BMW dealerships today, the BMW Z4 is being offered
in two trim levels. The BMW Z4 2.5i is equipped with a 2.5-liter
6-cylinder engine that runs with 184 hp and 175 lb-ft of torque. The
upscale trim is the BMW Z4 3.0i, which comes equipped with a 3.0-liter
6-cylinder engine that registers an output of 225 hp and maximum torque
of 214 lb-ft. Both engines are variants of the BMW M54 engine that is
also used on many other BMW vehicles today.
An entirely new car with an entirely new attitude, the BMW Z4 is aimed to achieve
what the BMW Z3 failed to.
