stylish two-place rodster. High-powered engine. Magnificently disposed chassis. What still can dream the judge of beautiful life and strong sensations? Well perhaps that still o grow prettier to weather.

With the weather to us transported. Adding roof, we noted the first merit of that represented to us bmw Z4 (in German "zetFir"): roof is removed automatically and very rapidly, in nine seconds. It rises, true, it is longer for second, then itself is fixed in the locks above the frontal glass. It is convenient. But this option - to order. In the standard assembly new rodster from Munich goes with the "manual" roof.

We at the same time note about itself that the woven top is executed multilayer, with laid inside by layer noise and heat insulation. And rear glass- not turbid plastic, but present - glass. Even with the preheating. Rodster for the winter? And why not, if in the machine is preheating seats and climate- control system with the powerful heater (with 1000 petsial'no it verified, in spite of 30-degree heat).

Salon convenient, not close, but some not "piloting".

Armchair - precisely so, armchair, but not seat - they have many electrical adjustments and they make it possible to be arranged after the control with the convenient landing. But the sensation of comfort will continue only to the first sharp turning. Thighs and arms in the seats barely are fixed, and, revolving baranka, it is necessary to strain the muscles of entire body in order not to fidget on the seat cushion. Yes even the skin on the armchairs - I understand, rodster, there is no roof, solnyshko, dust and all such - already too some an oak and slippery. Although in inter'erchike it looks nothing: the "steel" color of rodster, dark gray and deliberately very rough to the form of plastics, the bright inserts under titanium and the apparent by very comfortable insignificant ladles of seats. Here only why to entire length of instrument panel they did put the dark wide insert under the expensive polished tree, which does look here as alien element?

But, however that may be, to Russian buyer this machine must simply not be pleased, but begin to fall into the soul. Sidewalls bulge out by the "muscles" of wheel arches, "stomach" is selected, back is strong and pulled up, "snout" - that simply kirpichem, although as in new "seven", with almost the same by wiser prishchurom of headlights. Animal, but not automobile. Mouth now will open and will eat. Passer-by are tested, similarly, the same sensations - look into side Z4 with the admiration and cautiously. Against the background of this masterpiece of design- bureau BMW predecessor Z3 appears simply by good child.

"zetFir" slightly larger and perceptibly more powerful than the previous model Z3.

It became longer by 7 cm and greatly it grew into the width - azh to 9 cm. the wheel base also was lengthened - the turning radius did not increase by 5 cm. in this case, but, on the contrary, it became less - due to the already completely inconceivable angle of rotation of front wheels the machine now is turned on the five-kopeck coin of the diameters of less than 10 it is meter.

Developed anew carrying body became somewhat easier than in Z3 (due to the use of separate aluminum elements), but azh 2,5 times it is harder to the twisting: 14500 nm/deg against 5600 nm/deg. In this case into the primary structure of body are inscribed the intensive counters of frontal glass and the moshchneyshiye arcs after the seats, which must protect riders in the case of the tilting of automobile. We raise the cover of long cowling and we see one more "primary structure": the spacer as in the sport automobiles, between the front counters, which does not make possible "to go for a walk" for the vertical angles of the installation of front wheels with the transverse loads and improves the reactions of automobile.

A of reaction in Z4 actually instantaneous. Here only control on -lady is fairly light, reaction it is not enough.

Probably, because of strongly increased "kastera" in the angles of setting front wheels the machine very strongly reacts to a change in the cross section of road and to immediately attempt to leave there, where incline appeared under the wheels. Because of this the control - small, convenient, sheathed the skin - always "is nervous". However, you get accustomed rapidly to this special feature. Indeed in this tuning there is obvious plus: to ulu 1000 chshayetsya dynamic stabilization, "into the floor" even on the uneven road surface the machine not ryskayet with the braking. However, and to the excessive ease of the rotation of control also you get accustomed - if we harvest to knopochku "Sport", which is located near the lever KPP, the electrical amplifier of control no longer then does not try to help to twirl baranka - feedback with the road is begun barely better.

By the way, on Z4 adapt almost the same suspensions, as in BMW the third series: "MPHEARSON" from the front and multi-lever from behind. They are here only disposed entirely differently, it is harder, and this is felt well on the shaking with the passage of unevennesses transmitting to the body. However, this feature is characteristic only of those Z4, which are let out in execution "Sport". Is rodstery only pomyagche, with the suspension "Comfort".

The distinguishing feature of layout Z4 is expressed by index 50:50. Such, close to the ideal, left razvesovka along the y axis new rodstera.

Heavy storage battery for this developers transferred from the space into the baggage carrier under the cowl. Gearbox - in our automobile this six-stage "mechanics" - is located almost in the center wheel base. But the new three-liter engine, well known to the buyers of Kaliningrad "fives", in spite of its six cylinders in a number, it is characterized by entirely modest weight.

As far as box is concerned, here not the least claims. Motions are short and are clear. Gear ratios are selected ideally. And there is one additional curious moment - on-board computer, knowing, what is included transfer, control characteristics of engine change. You will go on the first and tread down to the gas - reaction powerful, but calm, without the pulling. You will go on the fifth and only you add thrusts - you obtain the instantaneous reaction: motor is sufficient so, as if they harvested considerably more strongly to the accelerator. Difference is especially great, if we again harvest to that knopochku itself "Sport", about which we mentioned earlier. Flexible electronic adjustments for the pedal of gas make possible for driver to more precisely dose thrust, and furthermore, generate the sensation of larger dynamics. When you mchish'sya with the high speed, suddenly you explain for itself, that the motor, turns out, "vomits", not only in the low gear, but also on the fourth, and on the fifth, and even on the sixth. However, to the real dynamics of automobile this does not refer large.

231 hp and very good moment on the low revolutions make possible not for lightest rodsteru to be accelerated to hundred in 5,9 seconds

But in practice making this not simply - interfere withs very long, damped and even running of clutch pedal. It is possible rapidly to be switched, squeezing out cohesion only to third, after preparing to sharply insert lever into the following cut, as soon as it "will let go" previous, but so it takes a long time to finish off and the synchronizers of box. But if we squeeze out cohesion on the complete, you lose precious portions. They are not great to hundred kilometers an hour of loss in the acceleration, but it is further... Certain, with this cohesion more conveniently to drive around the city. But it somehow does not tally with the sport performance of our rodstera. On the "comfort" - logically, while in our machine this joke so asserts itself to tyuning.

Roar of motor is distinctly audible in the salon especially with the raised roof. Untwisted to 4-5 thousand, it muffles all other noise - for the driver this rumble will be music, but for that sitting with a number of passenger it is faster by stimulus. It was pleased, what motor literally follows the accelerator - very rapidly it untwists also without the delays the revolutions are discarded. Already this alone makes it possible to more precisely dose thrust level in the turning and at its output - and on Z4, in which stands the simple, but not interlocking differential, this is urgent. However, to dangerous drift auxiliary electronics will not give to develop: the disconnected stabilization system DSC and the system of the dynamic trekwn- control DTC, which simply will not pass the surplus of thrust to the driven wheels.

Price of rodsterov Z4 in Russia varies from 46,9 thousand Euro- for the automobile with the 2,5- liter engine and the shestitupenchatoy "mechanics" to 58,9 thousand Euro- for the powerful three-castversion with the "automaton".
