The BMW Z4 is a rear-wheel drive sports car by the German car maker BMW. It follows a line of past BMW roadsters such as the BMW Z1, BMW 507, BMW Z8, and the BMW Z3. The Z4 replaces the Z3. First generation production started in 2002 at BMW USA's plant in Greer, South Carolina, with production of both roadster and coupe forms.
BMW also offers the BMW Z4 in motorsport, with a FIA GT3-specification car available to private teams. While the production version of the BMW Z4 has a six-cylinder engine, the GT3 car is powered by a 4.4-litre eight-cylinder engine derived from the BMW M3 GTS, which produces approx. 515 PS (379 kW; 508 bhp). The weight of the BMW Z4 GT3 is approx. 1,190 kilograms (2,624 lb). In its first year of racing, the car proved competitive in the FIA GT3 European Championship, emerged victorious from the Dubai 24 Hour endurance event, and also finished second from a low 49th starting position at the 2011 24 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps event by the Need For Speed Team Schubert.
