2003 BMW Z4
2003 CONVERTIBLE BMW 3.0 Z4 This beautiful convertible sports a sparkling graphite finish, charcoal leather Interior, and fitted with a six speed transmission. This car comes with the optional SPORTS package. It has a Sport switch which gives you a tighter steering with increased torque. This car is in great condition with ONLY 60,xxx miles. All of the equipment that you would expect from such a marque as BMW.
This more upscale 3.0i has a 3.0-liter version of the inline six-cylinder. The 3.0i models output 225 horsepower at 5,900 rpm and 214 ft-lbs. of torque at 3,500 rpm. The estimated fuel economy is 21 miles per gallon in the city and 29 mpg on the highway.
Suspension and Braking
The 2003 Z4's fully independent suspension system consists of MacPherson struts and aluminum control arms up front, with a multilink setup in the rear. Front and rear stabilizer bars helped keep things planted to the road. An optional sport suspension package stiffened the spring and damper rates and dropped the ride height by 0.6 inches. The Z4 was consistently praised for its handling by the automotive press because of its nearly ideal 50.4percent front/49.6 percent rear weight distribution.
Exterior
The Z4's flowing design, with its odd angles and sharp creases, polarized testers from Motor Trend, Car and Driver and Road and Track. BMW called this design language "flame surfacing." The Z4 was the first model to employ these stylistic touches, which made their way (to a more subtle degree) to the BMW model range in following years. Some journalists found it much more attractive than the outgoing 2002 Z3, while others found it too busy for comfort. The exterior measures 161.1 inches long, 70.1 inches wide and 50.1 inches tall. The Z4 rides on a 98.2-inch wheelbase. Its 2,932-lb. curb weight ensures solid performance, especially for the 3.0i model with its more powerful engine.
Interior When styling the Z4's interior, BMW abandoned the retro-roadster feel of the Z3 in favor of a clean, staid design. The car is affixed with a power-activated canvas soft-top.
