Exterior 22 | 23 BMW EfficientDynamics 24 | 25 This is how much has gone in. And this is what comes out. At BMW, we create dynamic vehicles that thrill you with quick acceleration, predictable handling and unshakable control. We are also busy finding ways to sustain this level of performance while incorporating innovative fuels and technologies to help preserve the environment. This is what we refer to as “EfficientDynamics.” This goal has led to the visionary CleanEnergy hydrogen-powered engine, which is currently used in the emissionfree BMW Hydrogen  Series Sedan. BMW Advanced Diesel with BluePerformance, which offers diesel power with quick acceleration, increased fuel efficiency and reduced emissions, was introduced to the U.S. in select models in late , including the d. In fact, every BMW on the road today comes standard with technology that boosts performance while simultaneously reducing fuel consumption and CO emissions. Double-VANOS VANOS is BMW’s valve timing system that can “steplessly” vary the points in the combustion cycle when valves open and close. DoubleVANOS refers to the fact that it operates on both the intake and exhaust camshafts. Electronically controlled in response to engine speed, load and temperature, VANOS reduces emissions, and enhances low- to mediumspeed torque, as well as fuel efficiency. Aerodynamics The more smoothly that air flows over a vehicle, the more efficiently it can operate. All BMWs are designed for a low coefficient of aerodynamic drag, which translates into quicker acceleration, more stable handling, quieter operation and greater fuel efficiency. A BMW’s integrated front spoilers reduce the amount of air flowing underneath, minimizing front-end lift. This allows a BMW to hug the road at higher speeds for excellent stability. Lightweight construction Lightweight aluminum is used throughout our vehicles – in the front axle, for example, or for the suspension, in the hood and in the hardtop. The Z sDrivei’s inline six-cylinder twin-turbo engine is all aluminum; the Z sDrivei’s naturally aspirated inline six is an aluminum/ magnesium composite – the lightest in its class. These weight savings lead to lower fuel consumption and better axle load distribution for more agility – especially in curves. BMW models have low CO emissions today. But that’s just for starters. We’re carrying on our research in the quest to bring you greater driving pleasure, with fewer emissions and decreased fuel consumption. High Precision Direct Injection. Turbocharging is traditionally known for boosting power at the expense of fuel efficiency. The Z sDrivei’s twin-turbocharged engine with direct fuel injection, however, injects gasoline at high pressure and with extreme precision into each cylinder. And, thanks to BMW’s fast and flexible electronic control system, both the timing and quantity of the fuel injections can be precisely adjusted to driving conditions. As a result, BMW vehicles achieve greater power with excellent fuel efficiency. Valvetronic Instead of using a traditional throttle, Valvetronic technology in the Z sDrivei lets the engine breathe more easily by varying the lift height of the valves to regulate air intake. The result: improved cold starts, smoother running, and a significant drop in fuel consumption. Using revolutionary technology such as this, BMW has improved its overall average fuel economy more than any other manufacturer. Efficient transmissions The standard, smooth-shifting -speed manual transmission, developed specifically for the all-new Z Roadster, has extremely short gearshift travel. The Z sDrivei also offers an optional -speed Sport Automatic transmission; the Z sDrivei, an optional -speed Double Clutch Transmission that allows faster, smoother shifting and greater fuel efficiency. Both optional transmissions offer a choice of automatic or manual gear selection and steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters. BMW EfficientDynamics Less emissions. More driving pleasure.

A lightweight aluminum engine block and Double-VANOS technology enhance smooth power delivery, fuel efficiency and lowered emissions.            Engine speed (rpm) The Z Roadster sDrivei twin-turbo engine produces  horsepower at  rpm, and quickly develops  lb-ft of torque at  rpm, which continues without fading through to the  rpm range. With such a broad range of powerful torque, you can enjoy smooth, robust acceleration in any gear, at any speed. Transmissions 28 | 29 Unparalleled power. Unprecedented power management. World-class athletic performance demands more than world-class muscle. Regulate the rhythms of power with breakthrough transmissions. Standard is a -speed manual, specially designed for the all-new Z with short-throw gear shifts for lightning-quick gear changes. A -speed Sport Automatic transmission, available for the BMW Z sDrivei, reduces shift times to a minimum – the slightest pressure on the gas yields spontaneous thrust. And for the BMW Z sDrivei there’s the revolutionary new -speed Double Clutch Transmission – a total of seven gears operating between two transmission structures in one large housing. First, third, fifth and seventh gears are grouped in one structure; second, fourth and sixth gears are grouped in the other. When upshifting or downshifting, the system switches between the two structures, so that while one gear is being disengaged, the next is already in position. Shifting takes milliseconds, adjusting thrust between heartbeats and without a moment’s loss of force. This dynamic connection to the engine gives you precise power for every situation – from acceleration and cornering, to grand slaloms through hills and mountains. And along the drive, the automatic transmission allows you to choose between two driving systems: the smooth comfort of D mode, or S mode for sportier shifting. For a still more seamless connection to the engine and the road, use the racing-inspired shift paddles on the sport steering wheel. Whatever your driving style, we’ve got the perfect transmission for you. For details on the availability of standard and optional features, please refer to the Standard equipment | Optional equipment charts at the back of this brochure. Driving Dynamics Control 30 | 31 Make every road a personalized driving experience. SPORT NORMAL Coastal highways, country lanes, Route , Broadway… from a sprint to the local green market, to a marathon through the mountains, the all-new Z Roadster opens up unparalleled vistas of driving pleasure. An artfully tuned chassis and suspension ensure excellent road contact and feel. The Z includes Driving Dynamics Control, a feature that recalibrates the systems that affect the entire ride – acceleration, steering, stability response, gearshifting – from NORMAL to SPORT to SPORT+, and does so more precisely and completely than any comparable vehicle. Set it to NORMAL, and you’ll arrive in sublime comfort and style at any destination. Even during a long journey you won’t break a sweat – unless you want to. In that case, consider transforming this comfortable tourer into a heart-stopping sports car by setting it to SPORT. All it takes is the push of a button. Now that you’re in SPORT mode, get ready for a more direct response to steering input and your right foot’s requests for acceleration. You’ll love curling in and out of bends and hairpins with a steering sensitivity that brings the roadway right into your hands. Taking corners becomes a form of modern calligraphy, written in power and grace. In the mounting momentum of straightaways, the accelerator pedal pours on the power, leaving trails of delight wherever you pass. And that’s only the beginning. Set it to SPORT+ mode and you can push the driving arts to the edge of expressionism. This is achieved by allowing a greater degree of wheelspin, enabling you to take a bend in a controlled drift. This effect can also be achieved by manually activating Dynamic Traction Control (DTC); an electronic limited slip differential allows wheel slip, then draws powerful acceleration out of deep corners. The result is a breathtaking, precise geometry of lines and curves, sketched on the pavement by your own hands behind the wheel. The optional Adaptive M Suspension’s electronic response is so quick, a pothole encountered by the front wheel is immediately damped by the rear wheel. Such precise handling and response makes every outing a tour de force, a magnum opus… a masterpiece. For details on the availability of standard and optional features, please refer to the Standard equipment | Optional equipment charts at the back of this brochure. Retractable hardtop 32 | 33  seconds faster than the rain. When sunshine turns to rain, or the first spring day blooms out of winter, in the all-new Z Roadster, you’ll be in or out of the elements in  seconds flat. That’s all the time it takes for the fully retractable hardtop to gently enclose the cockpit or fold into the trunk. A pleasant temperature is constantly maintained inside the cabin by automatic climate controls so sensitive, they even respond when the top moves up or down. Need to load groceries when the top is down? Use the Comfort Loading feature to raise the roof out of the way. What’s more, the Z’s intelligent lightweight aluminum hardtop keeps the Z’s gravity low, so driving dynamics remain high – leaving the gray skies far behind.  Standard equipment Storage options 34 | 35  Optional equipment Get away from it all – but bring what you need.  Storage compartment in the through-loading partition  Driver’s-side folding compartment  Two cupholders in the center armrest and a third, clip-in cupholder  Folding compartment on instrument panel  Rear clothes hooks  Storage compartments in center console  Through-loading with ski bag  Glove compartment  Net in passenger footwell  Storage compartment behind the seats  Door-mounted folding compartment (both sides) The all-new BMW Z Roadster inspires you to enjoy life to the fullest.

Safety features 40 | 41 Shelter in any storm. The engineering of the all-new Z Roadster is focused as much on safety as on performance. The Z features a host of innovative and powerful active and passive safety features. Active systems include Dynamic Stability Control (DSC), which immediately detects and eliminates wheelspin. It enhances braking traction on slippery surfaces, and acts to keep the brakes dry when it senses moisture. If you need to brake suddenly, the Brake Standby and Dynamic Brake Control features reinforce the speed and strength of your stopping action, while Adaptive Brake Lights signal a vivid warning to following vehicles. In the dark and even through turns, brilliant Xenon Adaptive Headlights highlight obstacles in your path. In case an accident cannot be avoided, BMW’s Advanced Safety Systems spring into action. In addition to a full complement of passive safety features – airbags, safety belt pretensioners and a reinforced structure – the cockpit includes a tubular steel windshield frame and fixed high-tensile roll bars behind the seats, offering optimum protection even with the top down. In the crucial first moments following a collision, the interior lights come on, doors automatically unlock, and emergency lights begin flashing. With BMW Assist,™ the vehicle automatically relays its position and the severity of the impact to the Response Center; response specialists then dispatch needed emergency services. Trust BMW to deliver driving joy – as well as on-the-road confidence. BMW’s Rollover Protection System includes two steel roll bars behind the headrests and high-strength tubular steel integrated into the windshield support. Newly developed head and upper-body airbags, at both front and side, help cushion the head, ribcage and pelvic area in the event of a collision. About BMW 42 | 43 The joy of driving – finally captured on canvas. Some people dream in color. The Z Roadster drives in color. That’s the vision of artist Robin Rhode, who was commissioned to introduce the next-generation Z in his own, individual style. His paintbrush: a new Z outfitted with special paint nozzles. Rhode first finger-painted his idea on paper, then choreographed it as a series of time-lapse sketches. As a stunt driver carefully followed the design, paint was sprayed onto individual tires in precise amounts, leaving tracks in five different colors. More than  cameras, directed by filmmaker Jake Scott, recorded the event. After seven hours, it was finished: a unique visualization of the joy of driving the all-new BMW Z Roadster. Watch the exuberance of man and machine. And experience a whole new expression of driving joy. ExpressionOfJoy.com Interior trims | Combinations 47 Recommended color combinations Interior colors Leatherette Kansas Leather, Nappa Leather, Extended Leather Black Beige Coral Red Black Beige Coral Red Black Ivory White  Alpine White Non-metallic         A Crimson Red Non-metallic        Jet Black Non-metallic          Titanium Silver Metallic         A Orion Silver Metallic         A Space Gray Metallic         A Deep Sea Blue Metallic       A Mojave Metallic — — — — — — —   Black Sapphire Metallic                       — — — — — — —        Upholstery colors Exterior colors Interior trims CG Silver Matte BN Ash Grain Wood  CE Anthracite Wood  AD Brushed Aluminum  Standard in Z sDrivei; not available in Z sDrivei.  Optional.  Requires and included in Exclusive Ivory White Leather Package. in Z sDrivei; optional in Z sDrivei. seat center panel and bolsters, headrest, center console, armrests in doors, cover for gearshift or gear-selector lever, and features Sun-Reflective Technology.  Extended Leather optional in Z sDrivei; not available in Z sDrivei.

The dynamic auto-leveling feature adjusts for varying passenger and cargo loads, helping to keep headlight glare out of the eyes of oncoming drivers. Adaptive Headlights provide optimum road illumination around corners, thanks to an electromechanical control system that directs the headlights into and around the bend as soon as the vehicle begins cornering. The Corona headlight-rings that circle both headlights and high beams also act separately as Daytime Running Lights and parking lights.  High-beam Assistant uses light sensor readings to automatically switch from high beams to low, as needed – such as when there is oncoming traffic or another car ahead, or when the road is sufficiently illuminated. (requires Premium Package; see your BMW center for availability) Performance tires not recommended for driving in ice and snow.

Lumbar support can be adjusted up/down and in/out.  -way standard seats with integrated fixed headrests can be manually adjusted for seat height, fore-and-aft positioning, and backrest tilt. (shown in Coral Red Kansas Leather)  -way power-adjustable seats include the above plus seat tilt, and offer two memory buttons for the driver’s seat and exterior mirrors.  Heated front seats offer three temperature settings for seat and backrest. In just a few short minutes, both driver and passenger can enjoy individualized warmth.  -spoke leather-wrapped multi-function sport steering wheel lets you keep both hands on the wheel while changing radio stations, CD selections, volume, and making mobile phone calls (if so equipped). Thanks to BMW’s Sun-Reflective Technology, it’s always at a comfortable temperature, even when the Z Roadster is parked with the top down.  Driving Dynamics Control allows you to tailor the Z’s performance by selecting NORMAL, SPORT or SPORT+ driving modes at the touch of a switch. This changes throttle response, steering assist, suspension damping (with optional Adaptive M Suspension) and automatic transmission shifting (if so equipped). Additionally, you can deactivate Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) or switch to Dynamic Traction Control (DTC), which allows wheelslip within defined limits when driving in deep snow, or for a sportier driving style.  Adaptive M Suspension lowers the chassis by . inches and electronically adjusts the dampers from sportingly tight to relaxed and comfortable, for greater agility and precise response.  -speed manual transmission is smooth and optimally synchronized. Developed specifically for the all-new Z Roadster, it features precise, short-throw gear shifts for an athletic driving experience. The narrow transmission ratios with an additional sixth gear make the engine even more responsive to your personal driving style.  -speed Sport Automatic transmission enhances the Z sDrivei’s athletic performance, with its quick gear shifts and immediate response to the accelerator pedal. In addition to Adaptive Transmission Control (ATC) that learns your driving style, it offers two manual shift modes: using the gear selector lever, or steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters.  -speed Double Clutch Transmission provides the Z sDrivei with smooth, lightning-quick gear changes by automatically shifting between two transmission structures. While one gear is disengaging, the next is already in position. The result is both quicker acceleration and enhanced fuel efficiency. If you prefer a hands-on approach, use the steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters or the gear selector lever to manually shift gears.  Standard equipment  Optional equipment Standard equipment | Optional equipment  Air conditioning provides an ideal environment year-round.

It cleanly and securely holds two pairs of -inch skis and ski poles, or a -inch full-size golf bag. With the hardtop up, a second -inch golf bag can be stowed in the trunk. When using the through-loading system, the removable cover can be locked in position.  Storage package, included in the Cold Weather Package, maximizes the Z’s carrying capabilities. In the cabin, fastening nets are located in the passenger’s footwell area and behind the seatbacks; a handy clothes hook is on each roll bar. In the trunk, cargo can be held down by lashing belts, and there is a convenient partition storage compartment that fits into the throughload opening.  Storage options abound in the Z. In addition to the storage bench behind the seats, there are fold-out storage compartments in both doors, two storage trays in the center console, a storage compartment in the dash (if not equipped with Navigation system), one under the center console, and a spacious glove compartment.  Luggage compartment is surprisingly spacious for a roadster. With the hardtop down, the trunk holds . cu. ft. Put the top up, and it holds . cu. ft. – enough to hold a -inch golf bag. A moveable partition, unique in the premium roadster class, creates enough room for a medium-size suitcase with the roof down – and much more with the roof up. 58 | 59  Front airbags help protect occupants’ head and upper body. In the passenger seat is a sensor: if a small occupant, such as a child, is detected, the airbag is designed not to deploy. Active knee protection also helps protect knees in the event of severe impact. Side airbags (head/upper body) significantly reduce the risk of injury to the head, ribcage and pelvic area in the event of a side collision.  Xenon Adaptive Headlights automatically swivel to follow the curves of the road. The system uses data from on-board sensors and the steering wheel angle to determine the car’s direction, then adjusts the headlights accordingly. The system offers outstanding nighttime visibility.  Z Roadster rollover protection consists of two steel roll bars behind the headrests; they are connected with a highly stable chassis crossbeam. The system is completed by a bar of high-strength tubular steel integrated into the windshield frame for maximum safety.  Door reinforcements are designed to provide maximum occupant protection in the event of a side impact. Added protection is provided by diagonal safety bars in the doors.  Impact-absorbing bumpers and compressible “crush tubes” front and rear help absorb the force of impact in collisions up to  mph, helping to minimize damage to the vehicle’s body and simplifying repairs. Only at higher impact speeds do structural supports begin to deform, dissipating impact energy to help protect occupants.  Cornering Brake Control (CBC) increases vehicle stability by proportioning the braking force while turning. When you brake in a turn, the pressure comes off the rear wheels, which () causes the vehicle to swerve inward (oversteer). Cornering Brake Control counteracts this action by asymmetrically adjusting brake pressure (), creating stabilizing countertorque () independently of the ABS system.  Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) is a braking control system that, when it senses an impending skid, helps to stabilize the vehicle in just milliseconds. If the system senses overor understeer, it modulates engine power and can apply brakes individually to help keep the Z under control and going in the intended direction. For sportier driving or in deep snow, manually activate Dynamic Traction Control (DTC), to allow increased wheelspin.  Run-flat tires allow speeds of up to  mph and travel from  to  miles after a loss of air pressure. In situations that would normally result in a flat tire, reinforced sidewalls help prevent the tires from collapsing or loosening from the rim. In the event of a decline in tire pressure, the driver is warned by the Tire Pressure Monitor.  When crash sensors detect a serious impact, interior lights and hazard flashers activate, and the doors automatically unlock to allow access for emergency aid.  Please see Owner’s Manual for more information detailing allotted miles to travel and load weight rules.

BMW is a strong proponent of the environment and social responsibility. It is important to manage the earth’s resources responsibly, and not jeopardize the needs of future generations. That is why BMW makes vehicles that minimize adverse environmental impact, from production (pollution prevention and waste minimization at the plant) through owner use (low emissions) to eventual disposal (easy drainability of all fluid-related components and easy neutralization of all pyrotechnic devices). This effort has been recognized worldwide and, as a result, we are pleased to have received numerous environmental honors. In the U.S., for example, the Environmental Protection Agency accepted BMW’s Spartanburg, SC production and manufacturing facility as a charter member of the agency’s National Environmental Performance Track. Internationally, BMW AG – the parent company of both BMW of North America and BMW Manufacturing Co., Spartanburg, SC – was the first automotive company to be represented on the Dow Jones Sustainability Group Index, and has remained on the Index ever since. At BMW, we strive for high performance in everything we do. U.S. Importer: BMW of North America, LLC, Woodcliff Lake, NJ .
