BMW Z4 – Review, Specs, Pricing, Features, Videos and More
The BMW Z4 roadster is one of the few small luxury convertible sports cars still on the market. Available with a four-cylinder or a six-cylinder engine, both come turbocharged and are plenty powerful to propel the car. The Z4 comes only with rear-wheel drive and an eight-speed automatic transmission.
The styling of the Z4 resembles that of the car’s larger siblings and is arguably the best looking Z4 to date. The interior is very BMW and looks quite similar to a certain coupe sold by a Japanese manufacturer…

The "M" In 2025 BMW Z4 M40i Stands For "Manual"
For 2025, BMW will offer the Z4 M40i with a manual transmission. To row your own, BMW will charge a $3,500 premium over the automatic model, bringing the MSRP to $69,950. However, the stick Z4 doesn’t come without its own set of improvements to help justify the cost.
For starters, BMW switches the stick Z4 to a staggered wheel setup, measuring 255/35 R19 and 285/30 R20 front and rear, respectively. Moreover, the loss of the automatic transmission saves a solid 29 pounds. BMW has made changes to the car’s M Sport differential, as well as updated software for the variable steering system. Other changes include unique auxiliary springs and a newly reinforced anti-roll bar clamp. Rounding off changes, BMW has altered the traction control system. Unfortunately, the brand doesn’t get into specifics, saying only that the changes “incorporate model-specific control logic.”
