\"Bmwfrontbis\"<\/a> BMW has added a 4-cylinder 2-litre 150bhp engine to the Z4 range, so as to give it a lower entry point level. Even smaller, this new engine offers such technological refinements as the Vanos (variable valve timing) and Valvetronic (valve lift) systems so as to ensure a quick response through the gears, as BMW puts it. It allows the Z4 to accelerate from 0 to 60mph in 8secs and to be compliant with the Euro IV norm. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Thanks to this UK-made block, the Z4 is now available for \u00a322,755 on-the-road. A Z4 2.0SE is available too, with the same equipment as the Z4 2.2 SE\u2019s. The Z4 2.0 is cheaper than a Mercedes<\/a> SLK 2.3 Kompressor, priced \u00a328,055, but more expensive than a Mazda MX5 1.8 Sport, priced \u00a318,000, which is to be replaced very soon. Maybe BMW is anticipating Mazda<\/a>\u2019s new roadster, seen in the Geneva Motor Show and expected late 2005.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
