With the suave appearance of this model, safety wouldn’t be thought to be the top priority, but that’s a deception in this case. The ‘08 Z4 M Roadster comes standard with a dual-airbag restraint system, side-impact and knee protection. There’s also a standard rollover protection system that uses roll bars to keep the vehicle evenly balanced on the road at all times.

The Z4 M Roadster’s driver is kept informed with a BMW M instrumentation with red-on-gray pointers on analog dials, white illumination, oil temperature gauge, and variable warning segment on tachometer. There’s also automatic climate control with filtration to provide comfort to the car’s passengers.

On the exterior, features like a fully automatic power softtop, alloy wheels and xenon adaptive lights contribute to the striking appearance of the Z4 M Roadster.

Features like this model’s tire-pressure monitoring, which alerts the driver of critically low levels, and Dynamic Stability Control, which gives the driver a better grip on the road in even the worst conditions, make this car both innovative and safe. DSC includes All-Season Traction, which delivers more traction and power at turning points.

BMW’s 2008 Z4 M Roadster is stylish, advanced and secure, and it will likely find many new happy homes this year.
