BMW Z4 Mk2 2013 - pictures

The BMW Z4 is a two-seater roadster designed to rival the Audi TT and Mercedes SLK.

The Z4 has a complex metal folding roof, making it more secure than a fabric-roofed rival.

The snug cabin feels really premium.

The Z4 is more of a comfortable cruiser than a sharp sportscar.

Some dated looking switchgear makes the Z4 feel its age next to the Audi TT and Porsche Boxster.

The manual gearbox is standard but most cars will be specced with the seven or eight-speed automatic.

Run-flat tyres are standard making the ride quite jittery.

The Z4's engine lineup is exclusively petrol.

Standard safety kit is comprehensive including traction control and protective rollover hoops.

The complex and heavy roof makes the boot tiny.
