This edition brings forth returned chassis technology, distinctive design elements, and a unique set of features, emphasising the Z4’s commitment to delivering an exhilarating driving encounter.
The BMW Z4 M40i Pure Impulse edition boasts muscular roadster proportions, M-specific design features, and a classic soft-top roof. With a free-revving six-cylinder in-line engine equipped with M TwinPower Turbo technology, the roadster remains a true embodiment of driving pleasure. Now, with the inclusion of a manual gearbox, it promises an even more engaging connection between the driver and the car.
The roadster’s chassis undergoes refinement, featuring a combination of variable sport steering, M Sport brakes, and an M Sport differential at the rear axle. The adaptive M suspension is meticulously fine-tuned for the Pure Impulse edition, delivering an optimal balance between dynamism and ride comfort. Additionally, mixed-size M light-alloy wheels, measuring 19 inches in diameter at the front and 20 inches at the rear, contribute to enhanced road performance.
The Pure Impulse edition adds individual design elements to the exterior, including M High-gloss Shadowline trim, Black high-gloss exterior mirror caps, and custom-designed streamlining flaps for the rear wheel arches. Red brake callipers and exclusive model badging further distinguish this special edition. New exterior paint options, such as Frozen Deep Green metallic and Sanremo Green metallic, add a refreshing touch to the Z4 lineup.
Inside, the Pure Impulse edition boasts M-specific design features, including an M gearshift lever with a model-specific sleeve. The Vernasca leather trim in Cognac with black M piping exudes a blend of elegance and sporting flair. Interior trim strips in Black high-gloss complete the exclusive appointments, creating a cockpit designed for the ultimate driving experience.
The six-speed manual gearbox, combined with the powerful 3.0-litre straight-six engine, propels the BMW Z4 M40i to 100km/h in just 4.6 seconds. This unique offering positions the Pure Impulse edition as a highly exclusive and performance-oriented model within the BMW lineup.
