 What is up you guys welcome back to another one if you are new to the channel I am Gold Pony today we are in the new 2019 BMW Z4 courtesy of Apple BMW in York PA and so with a complete redesign I am definitely excited to be in this one today so as always you guys let's start with pricing and so to start the base MSRP for the new 2019 Z4 we'll start at $49,700 and then if you jumped up to the M Sporture level that we have today that one is going to start at $52,650 but regardless power plant is going to be the same powering the 2019 Z4 is going to be a 2 liter twin power turbocharged inline 4 cylinder putting out 255 horsepower 5,000 rpm 295 pound-feet of torque available at around 1500 rpm power is going to be sent to the rear wheels through an 8 speed automatic with paddle shifters which you guys know we will be testing out a little bit later here but 0 to 60 time BMW puts it at approximately 5.2 seconds with a top speed of 155 miles per hour and then MPGs are going to commit at approximately 25 in the city 32 actually on the highway but before we do any kind of crazy accelerations in the new Z4 I did want to mention there are some driving modes available for this one there's driving modes are going to include eco pro comfort and sport and essentially what they will do is adjust the shift points the throttle response and the steering sensitivity as well so what we are going to do here is put it in sport driving mode I'm going to put the shifter actually all the way to the back and to the left that is going to give me that manual shifting option where I can control the shifting and we are actually going to test out the paddle shifters now so let me put it in first gear here and let's test out these paddle shifters along with the acceleration actually as well definitely lightning quick paddle shifters without a doubt never had any issues in a BMW with paddle shifters acceleration was nice definitely no issues with merging onto the highway or anything like that but definitely wouldn't mind testing out a turbocharged inline six cylinder in this one either but still 0 to 60 and 5.2 is pretty darn quick but so then to go along that acceleration as always braking is equally important so for the 2019 Z4 you will get ventilated front and rear four wheel disc brakes and as far as the braking feel goes I've had absolutely no issues in my short test drive today so far but so then touching on the handling and suspension a little bit the Z4 will give you an aluminum double pivot spring and strut type front suspension in the back a central link rear suspension with cast aluminum upper transverse links and you will also find front and rear stabilizer bars along with twin tube gash pressurized shock absorbers and again since we have that m sport package here today that is also going to add a limited slip rear differential as well so a little better traction around heavy cornering there and with the curb weight of 3287 pounds the z4 does come with a near 5050 weight distribution as well so yet another reason to have some fun tossing it around on the back roads and then touching on the steering feel a little bit definitely a heavier weight to it you got to appreciate that but then again that could be because I have it in sport driving mode so that of course is going to contribute as well but another thing with that steering feel is the grips on the z4 are mammoth I absolutely love it definitely gives you a better feeling of more control then as far as ride quality goes and just purposefully hit that man all right there definitely no issues it's going to soak up the bumps pretty well there and as far as cabin noise goes one thing I particularly actually like about the cabin noise here is you can hear more of the exhaust note perhaps it's because the z4 is more of a smaller vehicle but you can actually hear it back there but so that when it comes to visibility of course when the top is down you can see absolutely perfectly fine even when the top is up you have pretty decent visibility it is more of a narrow view that you got back there because the top does sit a little bit lower but still it's a smaller car so you're really going to have absolutely no issues with visibility and also when it comes to that is there also is a head up display available that's going to come with the premium package if you wanted it that's going to help you keep your eyes on the road a little better enjoy driving this thing on the back roads a little bit more but so enough with the driving dynamics you guys let's check out the exterior of this all new 2019 BMW z4 and so when it comes to the exterior let me first start with an interesting fact about the 2019 z4 alpine white is actually the only color that comes standard on this car every single other color that you would choose to go with including the san francisco red that you're seeing now that is going to add an additional $550 just wanted to let you know but nonetheless up front there is a mercedes-benz diamond black front grille that was a joke kind of looks like it but that distinctive bmw front grille is gone on the z4 so kind of interesting there but either way it does look extremely good also wanted to mention that front bumper design will differ between the standard z4 and the m sport as well for instance the standard z4 is going to give you a black front lip upfront whereas the m sport is going to give you a body colored front lip but to the sides led headlights will come standard along with led daytime running lights and with the executive pack you can also get led adaptive lighting as well meaning when you're going around to bend at night those headlights will swivel based on your steering angle to better illuminate what's around the corner and then make your way to the side on this one front fender design again will differ slightly depending on what term you go with for instance the standard z4 is going to come with a single horizontal accent whereas the m sport is going to come with dual horizontal accents up there let's take a look at the side mirrors they are power adjustable side mirrors with led integrated turd signals and just below when it comes to the wheel setup standard setup is going to be 18 inch v spoke orbit gray alloy wheels with the m sport that you're looking at now those are going to be 18 inch m spoke double five spoke alloys and there are actually plenty of 19 inch wheel designs available as well if you wanted to make your way to the back you will find an integrated rear spoiler with the center brake light just below that led tail lights definitely look good on this one and just below all of that that rear bumper design again will differ slightly depending on which setup you go with including the m sport giving you a center rear diffuser that you're looking at right now but just to the outside of that diffuser there are dual exhaust outlets with chrome tips so you guys know what we have to do next as always here is that exhaust clip it's open now since we are around back to open that rear trunk there actually is a button on the key fob to unlock it so simply press that it's going to pop open there for you but once opened up cargo capacity is going to come in at 9.9 cubic feet they typically i'll make our way to the rear leg room but there are no rear seats on the z4 of course because this is a two-seater so when it comes to those front seats they are 14-way power adjustable front seats with memory settings and they will come standard with a sense of tech upholstery and you will get distinctive m sport seats if you go with the m sport trim level as well and with the premium package your seats will also be heated as well which i'm definitely appreciative of today they're looking forward there is a tilt and telescoping steering wheel and it will come leather wrapped of course as expected when it comes to the startup let me first start by showing you guys the key here you do have your m sport designation on this key that you're looking at of course but you will find lock unlock and that button to pop the rear hatch and by the way i always like to mention the lock button is the bmw logo in the middle there but once inside to start this one all you need to do is simply just put your foot in the brake there and press that engine start button located just to the left of the shifter then once started up you will find bmw's 10 to the quarter inch digital gauge cluster definitely looks amazing up there i'm always a fan of that to the left you're going to find your speedometer along with the digital speed readout to the right your tachometer and what driving mode you're in and in this center is actually going to be where your navigation is displayed so if you see a line in the center there that is actually a road so that's where the navigation system goes but make your way to overall interior quality we'll find a sense of tech dashboard along with ambient lighting definitely a fan of that as well universal garage door opener will come standard that's going to be right underneath the rear view mirror there and there's actually a good bit of interior color choices available as well and i do like the color that we got today so good contrast with the black on that one but now let's make our way to the tech display because yet once again another 10 and a quarter inch color touchscreen display and yes it is touchscreen you can also control it by using the circular dial and buttons to the right of the shifter and it's also going to be voice activated as well but that is going to give you bluetooth and audio streaming and apple carplay one year free trial no android auto yet although factory navigation system will come standard on this one as well and you can of course check out your radio information up there the standard sound system is going to be a hi-fi sound system however there is an optional harmon card and surround sound system with the executive pack do happen to have that one today actually that's going to give you 12 speakers and two base speakers actually under the front seats so i think it is about timeless turn on the radio here see what we got playing today and let's test out the clarity this one almost massaging seats definitely nice definitely a good bit of base ton of clarity and really more than enough of a sound system for convertible but so then last thing on the tech display i wanted to mention is when you do put the z4 in reverse you will have a rear view camera letting you know who or what is behind you which is always is going to lead me into safety and so to start there are front and side impact airbags also an auto dimming rear view mirror will come standard along with dynamic radar cruise control that's definitely nice also standard frontal collision warning automatic city collision mitigation and braking daytime pedestrian detection also your speed limit info and i did want to mention an optional package called the driving assistance package that one goes for $500 but that is going to give you a blind spot monitoring system and lane departure warning as well and so but that is about it for this one you guys thank you so much for watching be sure to like the video and subscribe for free to follow me on social media at the bottom of the
