BMW today announced pricing for its new Z4 series. The 343 hp M Roadster arrives in US showrooms this spring with an MSRP of $51,995 including destination and handling. The 2006 Z4 Roadster line-up will consist of two models: Z4 3.0i at $36,295 MSRP, and the Z4 3.0si, with an MSRP of $42,795. Most of the other information released was already reported by Leftlane in October. (See our full report on the Z4 Roadster). BMW also today confirmed reports that it would drop its SMG transmission from the Z4 line, and will instead offer six-speed manual or six-speed Steptronic transmissions. Previously, we reported that BMW’s new Steptronic transmission would feature a paddle shifters similar to those offered with SMG. BMW North America CEO Tom Purves recently said he feels regular manual transmissions are best suited to cars with smaller engines, while SMG is needed for cars like the 500 hp BMW M5. Last week at the LA Auto Show, BMW announced the new M6 coupe would start at $96,795.
