Next-generation BMW Z4 to arrive by 2020 - Driving
The popularity of the roadster might be shrinking, but that’s not stopping BMW from aiming to have a new Z4 out in the next five years. According to Automotive News , BMW development chief Klaus Froehlich says although the market for roadsters is shrinking, he “would like to see a Z4 successor in this decade. Last year, BMW sold 5,300 copies of the Z4 in Europe – a decrease of 11 per cent, according to JATO Dynamics. But despite this, BMW is still working on a successor under its new partnership with Toyota. Toyota is said to be developing the powertrain and BMW will likely supply the transmission and design the chassis, which is expected to use carbon fibre reinforced plastic, much like in the current i3 and i8.
