Autoworld has joined the queue of journalists requesting for a test car, we look forward to bring you a full test drive report soon. For now, we’ll have to make do with these pictures snapped at the launch. Enjoy!

Unveiling, the new BMW Z4…

Product Planning Manager, Daren Ching, takes us through the new Z4.

Daren, with BMW Malaysia Press & Corporate Affairs Manager Vijay. They don’t look too comfy, why?

Members of the press were all taking aim…

Deciding how to pose with the car.

Open sesame..

Upclose with the car: Z4 sDrive35i

Now, onto the sDrive23i

First thing that strikes you about the 23i is that the rims don’t look as impressive.

The rear three quarters of the 23i.

23i‘s interior does without iDrive and ergonomic gear lever of 35i, and hence looks less luxurious. However, the brushed aluminium finish actually makes this the sportier looking cabin.

Wide and narrow stance gives the Z4 a very sinister and menacing look from the front.

The centre console. Notice Audi-like handbrake switch carried over from 7-series.

Dual-zone climate control is standard.

The N52B25 in the sDrive23i. It was rubbish in the 523i, but beautifully balanced for the 323i. Should be a gem in the Z4. Shame that BMW is not offering the 25i version instead though.
