THE BMW Z :
RULER OF ALL ROADS.
There are some roads that are naturally beautiful. But in the BMW Z Roadster, all kinds of road will become a joy to travel. The
perfectly tuned chassis and suspension ensure excellent road contact and eliminate disturbances caused by rough or uneven
surfaces. So you will always arrive relaxed at your destination – even after a long journey. Keen to exchange this comfortable touring
car for a thrilling sports car? In the BMW Z Roadster all it takes is the push of a button: the Driving Experience Control unifi es
countless driving dynamics components and affects the entire ride – more noticeably and comprehensively than hardly any other
comparable system.
COMFORT
SPORT
After switching to the Sport mode with its more sensitive steering, taking bends is an even greater thrill. On straights you will notice how
spontaneously the accelerator pedal reacts and with the optional automatic transmission you will be able to make even faster gear shifts
to further increase the BMW Z ’s sporty handling. But that’s just the beginning. The Sport+ mode takes you to the edge of extreme
athletic driving without compromising controllability and safety. This is achieved by a greater degree of slippage on the rear wheels – which
can also be manually activated at any time via a separate “Traction” button. In addition, the Dynamic Stability Control can be completely
deactivated at the touch of a button (DSC off). Here, an electronic limited slip differential enables powerful acceleration out of bends and
hairpins. The result is breathtaking agility, which can be taken one step further still: the optionally available Adaptive M suspension
(standard in the Z sDrive is) provides even more precise handling, as the driver can adjust the damper and the system automatically
compensates for irregularities of the road surface.
