The first-generation of the BMW Z4 was designed by Danish BMW-designer Anders Warming under head of design Chris Bangle, from mid-1998 to March 1, 2000 and was introduced at the 2002 Paris Motor Show.. Larger than its predecessor the Z3 and initially only available as a Roadster (E85) with the 2.5L or 3.0L inline six-cylinder engines. The Z4 had a significantly stiffer chassis. and features a strut type front suspension like its predecessor. The rear suspension, however is considerably different from that of the Z3, which was based on that of the E30 BMW 3 Series. Instead of a semi-trailing arm suspension, the Z4 uses a more advanced multi-link suspension.
The Z4 used lightweight materials to offset the increased weight over the smaller Z3, such as aluminium hood and suspension components, magnesium roof frame. Run flat tires removed the need for a spare tire, which in addition to saving weight, allowed for a larger boot, and more slippery aerodynamics.
The 6-cylinder engines included all alloy construction, double VANOS variable valve timing and streamlined intake and exhaust manifolds, throttle by wire. Safety technology included four-wheel disc brakes and electronic stability control, incorporating ABS and traction control. The electric power steering was speed-sensitive, allowing for easier manoeuvring at low speeds.
In 2005 the Roadster was joined by the E86 two door Coupe, unveiled at the 2005 Frankfurt Motor Show.
In 2006, BMW updated the Z4 line by introducing the M Roadster, and later the M Coupe, with the vaunted S54 M engine. The model range for the Coupé was more limited than the roadster, and consisted of the six-cylinder 3.0si and Z4 M model only.[Transmission choices were a 6-speed manual and a 6-speed automatic with shift paddles mounted on the steering column.
