BMW Z4 two-seater roadster will be launched in India this October. Moreover, the company is likely to launch three more new cars for the growing Indian car market. The new BMW Z4 sports features like retractable hard top and sDrive technology for better driving experience. The new Z4 sports car comes with a 3-litre diesel engine and was launched in Europe in December 2008. Performance parameters include a top speed of 250 kph and a 0-100 kph rev-up in 5.8 seconds.
“The Z4 will hit the roads in early October and it will be priced in the range of Rs 50-60 lakh. We hope to sell at least 30-40 units of the car in the first year," said BMW India president Peter Kronschanabl. He expects the car to be a brand shaper for the company. "We have sold over 2,200 units during the January-August period this year. Our plan is to cross the mark of over 3,000 in sales by end of the year and this will be mostly on account of the 3 and 5 series," he said. BMW India had registered sales of 2,908 units in 2008.
There are no confirmed reports about the variants of the car coming to India. However, the expected models may be from 2.5 litre 201bhp sDrive23i, and the 3.0 litre sDrive30i and sDrive35i, all of which come with in-line six-cylinder.
