A New Roadster From Bmw

By: Evander Klum

BMW is one of the well-known auto makers that are highly appreciated for its innovations, luxury car parts and accessories.

The German automaker famous for its continues to prove its prominence in the industry with the recent launch of the 2007 AC Schnitzer BMW Z4 M Roadster.

The Z4 Roadster and the M variant have both undergone several innovations. The combination of the two completed the model range with a new Z4 Coupe and M Coupe.

The product range of the models starts from the suspension components and exhaust systems, through a wide array of wheel and tire combinations, to special aerodynamic conversions and wonderful interior accessories.

So that the special accessories for the ACS4 Roadster will also fit the ACS4 Coupe, the aerodynamic range has been designed. Likewise, the conversions for the ACS4 M Roadster are compatible with the ACS4 M Coupe.

The Z4 M Roadster and M Coupe come along with a modified rear axle ratio of 3.91: 1 (standard 3.62: 1) in order to further improve driving dynamics. Drivers will experience an improved response behavior on all Z4 models.

Visually seen enhancements on both the Z4 Roadster and Coupe chromed include tailpipe trims. The M-versions of the Z4 with a standard twin sports silencer and a Twin Racing system come with further options of Sports Trim Design that is exclusively for M-vehicles and was previously seen on both the M5 and M6 vehicles.

The AC Schnitzer Short Shift has been adapted for the BMW Z4 3.0i, 3.0si and M-versions with manual transmission to provide faster and more accurate gear shifts.

Of course, safety is not taken for granted. A special high performance brake system has been developed for the front of the new BMW Z4 models for safe control at all times. This, however, is not found in the M variants. With measures, 334 mm in diameter and 32 mm in thickness, the internally vented and slotted brake discs will assure the passenger safety. Also featured are special brake calipers with two 42 mm pistons.

The front part of the exterior of the Z4 Roadster and Coupe is refined. This can be seen in the attractively designed front spoiler that is attached to the standard front skirt. This does not only gives good appearance; this further ensures better down force.

As an addition to this, a special racing suspension is exclusive to the M Roadster and M Coupe. This racing suspension, however, is still in its development phase.
