I've been taking a lot of inspiration for my blog posts lately from the many beautiful and bad-ass cars I saw earlier this month at the 2009 International Auto Show in San Francisco. Likewise, I've been focusing on the several sports cars that really tickled my fancy at said car show, and I've been posting up Web video covering their attributes in great detail amid scenic backdrops and general fanfare. Today I'm going to talk about yet another newly unleashed sports car, the 2010 BMW Z4, but the video posted here is more of a hit-and-run affair for those of you who possessing a short attention span. So without further ado let's begin...

The official name of this car is the 2010 BMW Z4 sDrive 35i, and it sure looks pretty on the road, eh? BMW has gone out of its way to reimagine the Z4 as more of an everyday, multiseason hardtop convertible, but it's still small and punchy enough to be thought of a sports vehicle as well. One could opt for the 3.0-liter version to pinch a few pennies, but if you've got the money for a Beamer, then why are you so worried about gas mileage? Go for the twin-turbo, 300 HP version and really kick up some dust when you take this toy out for a spin. You can scope how the superconvenient retractable roof works at the 0:51 mark.
