Reviews 2012 BMW Z4 User Manual Guide Pdf Download - The Z4 range spans quite the gap in pricing, from the $48,000 28i to the $64,000 35is, but all three models can quickly add options that raise the base price by as much as $15,000 or more. Those options are extensive and high-tech, however, including navigation, dynamic cruise control, park assist, automatic high-beam headlights, Bluetooth phone integration, and much more. The interior can likewise be outfitted in a staggering array of finishes and materials, and there are a handful of equipment packages that will add even more technology, audio, or sport to your Z4.

Safety of the 2012 Z4 is a given considering its intelligent engineering and extensive array of safety features, including front and side airbags, adaptive brake lights, several layers of advanced stability and brake control systems, and a battery safety feature that cuts fuel flow, turns on the hazard lights, and unlocks the doors in the event of an accident. The IIHS and NHTSA haven't yet rated the 2012 Z4.
Reviewers say that if you’re looking for better performance, you should cross-shop the Z4 against the Porsche Boxster. The Boxster costs a little more than the Z4, but its performance dynamics are more in tune with the road, which makes for tighter handling. Just note that the Z4 comes with a retractable hardtop, while the Boxster is a soft-top model.
The Z4 can get expensive with options, so if you’d like to save a few thousand and get a convertible that’s more powerful, consider the Nissan 370Z Roadster. While the 370Z offers great performance at a lower price, there are some tradeoffs. The 370Z Roadster offers far less cargo space and a less refined interior.
2012 BMW Z4: The Details
The 2012 BMW Z4 comes in three trims. The Z4 sDrive28i is the new base model for 2012, which comes with a turbocharged four-cylinder engine. The more powerful Z4 sDrive35i and sport-tuned Z4 sDrive35is roll into 2012 basically unchanged.
Interior Features
The 2012 BMW Z4 has loads of standard and optional convenience features, including BMW's iDrive media interface, which reviewers say is improved and easier to use than prior iterations. Still, one reviewer notes that the Z4’s stereo system takes some time to master.
Cargo
The 2012 BMW Z4 isn't designed to lug big items. Still, reviewers say that its useful on-board storage compartments and 8 cubic feet of trunk space (top up) make it capable for a two-seat roadster. Like many hardtop convertibles, however, trunk space decreases when you put the top down. If you're in the market for a luxury sports car, but need more cargo room, check out the Chevrolet Corvette coupe, which has 22.4 cubic feet of space.
