Inovev forecasts 15,000 to 20,000 annual sales of the new BMW Z4
- BMW replaces the old Z4 coupé-cabriolet with retractable steel-roof by the BMW Z4 roadster with a classic canvas hood. The Mercedes SLC, which is the main rival of the Z4, remains one of the last sports cars still with a retractable steel roof. The fashion of coupés-cabriolets is fading quickly.
- Following a technical agreement between BMW and Toyota for models manufactured in small series, the new BMW Z4 shares its platform with the Toyota Supra which should be unveiled in the coming weeks. Both models will be assembled in the same factory in Graz, Austria, which belongs to the equipment manufacturer Magna-Steyr. This factory also assembles the Jaguar E-Pace and I-Pace, the Mercedes G-Class and part of the BMW 5 Series.
- This plant has specialized in small series since the early 1990s, and many manufacturers have used Magna-Steyr to manufacture some of their "marginal" models, such as the Peugeot RCZ, the Aston Martin Rapide, the Saab Cabrio and more recently the Mini Countryman.
- The new BMW Z4 is equipped with a 340-hp -6cylinder 3l turbo petrol engine, but will soon be available in a 185 hp / 245 hp 4-cylinder 2l turbo engine. The new BMW Z4 will rival Mercedes SLC, Audi TT and Porsche Cayman. Inovev expects 15,000 to 20,000 annual sales of the new Z4.
