Test BMW Z4 M Roadster
Marc Surer präsentiert in der Motorshow TCS den neuen BMW Z4 M Roadster. Extérieur Unser Testauto, der BMW Z4 M Roadster, kostet mit seinen Optionen 97'000 Franken. Die M-Version zeigt sich bereits äusserlich deutlich muskulöser als ihre leistungsschwächeren Geschwister. Die BMW-Niere ist tiefer, und zwei mächtige Lufteinlässe in der Frontschürze symbolisieren die Kraft. Unter der Haube befindet sich ein alter Bekannter. Der Reihensechszylinder stammt aus dem M3 und gehört zu einem der feinsten und schönsten Motoren auf dem Markt. Intérieur Auf den lederbezogenen Sitzen des M-Roadster nimmt man nicht einfach Platz, man wird sprichwörtlich aufgenommen. Seitenführung und Schenkelauflage sind vorbildlich ausgestaltet. Der kurze Schalthebel liegt griffig, und die Wechsel können rasch und knackig erfolgen. Technik Das Starten des Triebwerks manifestiert sich durch ein dumpfes Grollen. Bei den verschiedenen Drehzahlbereichen reicht die atemberaubende Geräuschkulisse von kernig-satt bis zu heiser-brüllend. Für einen potenten Sportwagen lässt sich auch die Kupplung mit geringem Kraftaufwand bedienen. Die Lenkung ist äusserst präzise und überträgt ausreichende Rückmeldung. Wenn man die Sporttaste auf der Mittelkonsole drückt, wird die Lenkung einen Tick direkter, und der Motor spricht spontaner an. Nicht in jedem Temperaturzustand lassen sich die hohen Drehzahlbereiche des M-Roadsters abrufen. In Abhängigkeit zur Motoröltemperatur werden beim Kaltstart die oberen Drehzahlbereiche sukzessive erweitert. Fahrverhalten Der potente BMW Z4 M-Roadster umrundet die Kurven souverän und nahezu neutral. In der Fahrwerkabstimmung wirkt er nicht unbequem hart und baut kaum Seitenneigung auf. Auch das Heck zeigt kaum Tendenzen zum unkontrollierten Ausbrechen und verdeutlicht seine Herkunft mit vier armdicken, verchromten Endrohren und einem Diffusor. Die neu gestalteten Heckleuchten verfügen über zweistufige Bremslichter, die bei einer Vollbremsung mit erhöhter Intensität den Hintermann warnen. Fazit Der Münchner Power-Roadster dürfte mit seinem Preis von rund 97'000 Franken kaum zum Strassenecken-Cabrio mutieren und sich eher als Einzelgänger für eine elitäre Klientel etablieren. Trotzdem, Freude daran haben kann man auch beim Hinsehen und Hinhören. Negativ -schlecht ablesbare Instrumente -Schalter der Warnblinkanlage ist zu nahe an der Handbremse -die altmodische Stabantenne Positiv -drehzahlfreudiger Motor -ausgewogenes Fahrwerk -schnelles Verdeck

BMW M3 Competition SMG Coupe--Chicago Cars Direct
Detailed walkaround and test drive of a 2006 BMW M3 Competition Coupe with SMG Transmission presented by Chris Moran of Chicago Cars Direct. With colors like Laguna Seca Blue and Imola Red, there's no question as to where the BMW M3's aspirations lie. These famous racetracks would be fitting playgrounds for any car that promises such stratospheric levels of power and handling. Whether blasting up Tamburello at Imola or diving into the corkscrew at Laguna Seca, few cars in the world could attack a road course with the tenacity of those wearing the "M" badge of BMW's Motorsport division. Until the 2001 model year, we had to deal with the fact that as much as we loved those Motorsport machines, our European counterparts were getting versions far more powerful than ours. Their M3s boasted 317 horsepower, while ours made do with just 240. Not that we were complaining. Even with its detuned engine, the previous-generation M3 was still one of the best performance coupes available anywhere. But the grass is always greener on the other side, and U.S. enthusiasts couldn't help but wonder just how much better the M3 was in its Euro-spec trim. With the introduction of the current-generation BMW M3 for the 2001 model year, drivers had to wonder no more. The M3 is now the same whether you buy it in Stuttgart or San Francisco. Better yet, it's been blessed with an even more powerful 333-hp engine, a sturdier, more responsive suspension and slinkier bodywork that, we think, makes it one of the most stunning cars on the market. Like so many ultrahigh-performance cars of today, finding the limit of the M3's abilities takes more than just an empty road and the guts to hold the pedal down longer than usual. Fortunately, the 2006 BMW M3 gets along just fine in suburban environments, though be forewarned that the ride walks a very fine line between all-out performance and day-to-day drivability. Enthusiasts will find it pleasantly firm, but poseurs had better hold on to their cappuccinos. Body Styles, Trim Levels, and Options The 2006 BMW M3 in offered in both coupe and convertible form. Standard features on the coupe include 18-inch wheels with Z-rated rubber, automatic climate control, 10-way adjustable sport seats, leather and cloth upholstery, one-touch power windows, heated power mirrors, a CD player, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, automatic headlights, rain-sensing wipers and keyless entry. The convertible adds power seat adjustments and full leather upholstery; these items are optional on the coupe. Additionally, the drop top comes with a fully automatic soft top (with heated rear glass); a removable hardtop is available. There are a number of option packages available, the most interesting of these being the Competition Package, which outfits the coupe with some of the performance upgrades from the coveted European-market M3 CSL, including 19-inch forged alloy wheels, larger Michelin tires, stiffer shocks and springs, a quicker steering ratio, upgraded brake pads and rotors, a less intrusive M Track mode for the stability control system, and unique Alcantara and aluminum interior trim. Choosing this package deletes cruise control and steering wheel audio controls. Among the other extras are a sunroof, seat heaters, HID headlights, a navigation system, a premium sound system, parking sensors, BMW Assist and an alarm system. Powertrains and Performance The BMW M3 is propelled by a potent 3.2-liter, six-cylinder engine rated at 333 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque. A six-speed manual transmission is standard, while a six-speed sequential manual gearbox (SMG) is offered as an option. The SMG offers both manual and automatic driving modes, and although it is by definition a manual transmission, its clutch is electronically controlled, such that there's no clutch pedal. Drivers can use either steering column-mounted paddles or the shift lever to change gears in manual mode. Unlike other systems, SMG allows you to alter the quickness of the shifts, and in its most aggressive shift program, it's said to be faster than Ferrari's Formula One setup. Safety Safety features include four-wheel antilock disc brakes, stability control, front side-impact airbags, head curtain airbags for the front (coupe only) and a rollover protection system (convertible only); rear side-impact bags are optional. The BMW 3 Series earned a "Good" rating from the IIHS in 40-mph frontal-offset crash testing.
