The BMW German luxury automaker is planning to launch a new roadster, called Z2 in 2016, which will come with a front-wheel drive system.

BMW is already working on the entry-level Z2 Roadster and it will be that particular hot car that will complete the BMW`s model lineup, coming with affordable prices.

Since the car is rumored for some time now, the BMW Z2 Roadster will share the same front-wheel drive system also used on the 2014 MINI Cooper, becoming the second model with a front-wheel after the 2-Series Active Tourer.

More than that, it is also rumored that the future BMW Z2 Roadster will be also coming with an all-wheel drive system.

More details about the upcoming BMW Z2 Roadster will be offered at the time when the sports car will be officially announced.
