October 2023 – RPM News Weekly

10-05-23 Featured Vehicle

Nothing speaks the language of summer like a convertible. But that doesn’t mean it has to be summer to enjoy the open air experience of a drop top. Case in point, the beautiful October day that we had with the 2023 BMW Z4 sDrive30i.

Ordinarily, with a car like this, the performance would be the first thing to rave about. After all, with 255 horsepower coming from its direct-injected 2-liter TwinPower Turbo, and 295 lb-ft of torque working its way through the rear drive powertrain, this two seater has no trouble impressing you and a companion into its plush red seat backs. Then there’s the variable sport steering bolstered by an optional M Sport Dynamic Handling Package with adaptive suspension, sport differential and blue caliper attired sport brakes turning every bend and bump in the road into a driver’s delight.

That being said, we would prefer to immerse you in the sensuous allure and relaxed gracefulness of the Z4. Here are a few photos of this beauty. We encourage you to plan a test drive.
