2009 BMW Z4 sDrive30i – Click above for high-res image gallery<\/small><\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n

\nBMW<\/a>‘s storied history of building roadsters dates back to the original 328 of the 1930s. However, there have been gaps in the brand’s open-top lineage, including one extended stretch through the ’60s, ’70s and ’80s. After a dalliance with the bizarre European market Z1, BMW finally got serious about roadsters again in the ’90s with the introduction of the Z3. <\/p>\n

Earlier this year, the Munich brand introduced what’s essentially the third generation of its modern mainline roadster (discounting the aforementioned low-volume Z1 and the Z8) in the shape of its all-new Z4<\/a>. Upon its introduction, the esteemed Mr. Harley took our first crack at the new “E89” at its Southern California launch last spring and came away with mixed feelings<\/a>. <\/p>\n

To be fair, whenever an automaker builds a new model, there’s always a distinction between what the engineers and designers expect of it and what consumers bank on. There’s also a big difference between spending a few hours on a prescribed driving route under controlled conditions versus living with a car as a daily driver for a week or longer. So we wanted to spend time with the Z4 on more familiar turf to see what life is like with BMW’s newest roadster.<\/p>\n
