BMW convertibles offer handling and hard-top convenience

For almost 80 years, BMW has been offering sleek roadsters, which provide buyers with the handling of a rear-wheel drive vehicle and a design that the company hopes will live up to, the promise of an “ultimate driving machine.”

The model now offers a hard-top option that can be raised or lowered in under half a minute, as well as a sport suspension that drops the car up to half an inch when needed for stiff handling in certain situations.

For those looking for a more alternative option, the Z4 that was introduced in 2003 may provide some of that flair, according to editors from the Edmunds.com website.

As a replacement for the Z3 roadster, they were concerned about styling that has since taken hold in all BMW models, but say that the update is “even more fun to drive,” than older predecessors.

The options, even for standard base models, leaves a variety of transmission and other options up to a used car buyer, wrote the editors, and the “superb road manners” and standard features can be found across the offerings of trim lines available to used car buyers at a cost that approaches those of new convertibles: under $15,000 in New Jersey.
