BMW Z4
BMW Z4 Rent Dubai. Having sat between the rock and the hard place that is the Porsche Boxster (the driver’s roadster) and the Mercedes SLK (the fop’s roadster) the last BMW Z4 had a difficult time. It was neither dynamic nor comfy enough to challenge either. Enter this Z4, the two-seat BMW with folding hard top that guns straight for coiffed drivers whose living rooms have a white-leather corner sofa. A mild facelift has been rolled out but you’ll be hard pushed to notice.
It’s a two-seat, rear-wheel-drive BMW with a phallic bonnet and no diesel engines, so it must have some dynamic clout lest the other roadsters call it names, right? Well yes, but BMW also decided that you can’t outbox a Boxster, so this Z4 aims at the SLK, focussing on space and comfort.
As if to prove the emphasis shift, the least satisfying version is the most powerful sDrive35iS – the power overwhelms it. Lower in the range it’s a good drive, though exploitable because it follows the BMW 50:50 weight distribution mantra, has accurate steering and, if you pay for it, three-stage adaptive damping. Bowing to comfort means feel through the wheel is limited, compared to a Porsche, but there’s more than enough to decipher where the grip is, and if you’re so inclined the back end can slide. The six-cylinder 23i and 30i versions have now become the four-cylinder turbo 20i and 28i. Good news: more torque, less fuel. Bad news: fewer revs, less blaring noise. A new 158bhp entry-level sDrive18i is slow but affordable. The coiffed will love it.
