    The production of a legend has ended and BMW has done this without fireworks. The last BMW Z4 E89, being an sDrive35 was built a few days ago. Being on the market since 2009, the second generation Z4 has been manufactured in more than 115,000 units. The official end-day of the BMW Z4 E89 production, which will be left in history, is August 22nd.

    The last Z4 sDrive35 comes in stunning Valencia Orange Metallic. There is nothing extraordinary that differentiates it from other models. In other words, the final edition pumps out 340 hp from its twin-turbo six-cylinder engine, N54.

    But weep not! Because this isn’t the end of the attractive two-seater. BMW and Toyota are currently developing the so called Z5 with codename G29. Both models, old an new, have many similarities, but unlike the metal roof on the Z4, the Z5 will sport a soft top. This is beneficial, because it will definitely make the new car faster by at least lowering the weigh of the vehicle. In addition, the trunk will be quite more spacious.

    Rumors are saying that the Z5 roadster will be officially revealed in 2017 during motor events in Europe, while its production is planned for 2018. There is one other exciting news about the Z5. It is expected to be equipped with powerful BMW engines, except for the hybrid variant of the car, which will be driven by a Toyota powertrain.

    What will actually happen? Let’s wait for some official information from BMW.

  • BMW Reveals Z4 Facelift and You Will Not Expect to See This

    2016 BMW Z4 Facelift Front and Side View2016 BMW Z4 Facelift has just been revealed with an abundant set of pictures, which you can view in details in the gallery below. What was surprisingly stunning was that the Bavarian company did not release any press release with the images. And there was no reason for doing so.

    And here is what we didn’t expect: the 2016 BMW Z4 does not include any changes but one – a new exterior paint scheme in its color range. Called Estoril Blue, this exterior color is very special, because (if you are a BMW fan you should know) it is offered for exclusive models only. Take for instance the M-Series.

    In addition, the Estoril Blue is available for the Z4 for the very first time, which makes it a very strange fact. In my opinion, at least.

    Everything else in the car is staying the same. That’s not something to worry about, because the Z4 Roadster offers the ultimate driving experience. It was designed to make every single drive an indulgence.

    Its unique design features stunning hardtop and elongated hood that combined with the capability of the car, create unique open-top experience. In the range are featured powerful engine options, but the mightiest one is the four-cylinder TwinPower Turbo.

    It displaces just 2.0 liters, but still has the power to generate 240 hp (176 kW) and 352 Nm (260 lb-ft) of torque at just 1250 rpm. The potent thrust kicks in right from the start and continues all the way up to 4800 rpm.

    What is more, the sDrive rear-wheel drive system allows for a perfect 50/50 weight distribution, meaning that the car delivers power more precisely.

    The Estoril Blue Z4 will be available to order from the next month and will be only an option for the Z4 equipped with the M Sport Package.
