A Car That Exists as Part of Fashion



Yuma Tomoki speaks about the new BMW Z4, which miraculously achieves both a roadster and coupe form, as follows:.

The charm of the new BMW Z4, in my opinion, lies in its silhouette as seen from the sides and rear. This sporty, flowing streamline is characteristic of a coupe and is a design only BMW could achieve. It truly feels like the originator of the coupe. The fact that the roof can be opened so easily to transform it into a roadster is also amazing. On sunny days, I'd love to cruise around town in the open air. However, the coupe's streamlined beauty is also hard to resist. Driving while listening to my favorite music would be wonderful. Of course, in my line of work, traffic jams are the norm, so driving fast is just a dream. I was also surprised that the new BMW Z4 would be exhibited at ISETAN Men's, and the idea of a car existing as part of fashion is a very elegant and wonderful concept.

Roadster.
Originally, this word referred to a two-seater convertible carriage stripped of any excess. In other words, it signified something that deviated from the carriage's original purpose of efficiently transporting people or goods.

Later, with the advent of the motorization era, the term began to be applied to automobiles. Even then, it undoubtedly referred to a car not merely for traveling from point A to point B, but as a device that colors the journey itself—sometimes excitingly, sometimes sportily, and sometimes elegantly—thereby inviting the driver into the extraordinary.

The new BMW Z4, which has just debuted, is no exception. This is because, like its predecessors, it is not a car for transportation, but a car for sport.

BMW's Signature Refined Driving Performance. The tradition and innovation in car manufacturing that make this possible live on in the new BMW Z4. A prime example of this is the exterior design.

The flowing exterior design, where concave and convex surfaces blend seamlessly, creates an exquisite harmony along with the sharp character lines running front to back. This embodies a functional beauty akin to an athlete's physique, achieved through the pursuit of aerodynamic performance as a roadster sports car, shedding any excess.

Furthermore, the new BMW Z4 is equipped with a retractable aluminum hardtop that can be opened or closed with the push of a button. Once closed, it transforms into a coupe body exuding breathtaking beauty and elegance.

This achieves a perfect style, undoubtedly befitting the name of a coupe that prioritizes beauty above all else.
