2009 BMW Z4 to Start at $46,575
BMW has announced pricing for the 2009 Z4 sDrive30i and Z4 sDrive35i. The new roadsters will start at $46,575 and $52, 475 respectively, approximately $9000 over the outgoing 2008 model.
Pricing for the new model represents a steep increase, but buyers do get more for their money. In addition to its revised styling and folding hard top, the base car gets the more powerful 255-hp, 3.0-liter I-6 that was standard on the sportier ’08 Z4 3.0si. The new top performer for 2009 is the twin-turbocharged sDrive35i, which yields 300 hp and 300 lb-ft of torque.
BMW will also offer a full set of options for the new convertible. The seven-speed dual-clutch transmission will set you back $1525 and is only available on the sDrive35i. Other options include $550 for metallic paint, $2100 for a navigation system, and $750 for the extra safety of BMW Assist.
Buyers can deck out their Z4 with a sport package with sport seats, adaptive M suspension, 18″ wheels, and an increased speed limiter for $2300. For $1000 a cold weather package comes with a heated steering wheel and front seats, and for $2000 a premium sound package includes a premium hi-fi stereo, 6 DVD changer, and iPod integration. A premium package with auto dimming mirrors, power seats, ambient lighting, and a universal garage door opener is also available.
