BMW Z4

(12 available)Narrow year range (drag arrows to filter):
The BMW Z4 sees only a handful of minor enhancements to its interior and exterior styling for the 2014 model year.
After last year's introduction of a powerful yet fuel-efficient 4-cylinder turbocharged engine in base models, the Z4 carries over unchanged for 2013 ahead of a mild refresh planned for the 2014 model year Z4.
The biggest news for the 2012 BMW Z4 is under the hood. The normally aspirated in-line-6 is gone. Its replacement, a 2.0-liter turbocharged four, is the new entry-level face of BMW, providing the performance foundation for the new 5 Series, the upcoming 3 Series and this, BMW's performance roadster. With similar horsepower, more torque (!), lighter weight and better balance, this newest Z4 promises to recall any number of great drop-tops, some of which were built by BMW.
Since the latest version of the Z4 was just introduced in the second half of in 2009, there are no significant updates for 2010.
The Sport Package on the 3.0i models is available with 18-inch wheels and tires.
The Z4 Coupe packages everything good about the Z4 Roadster into a stylish fastback design that is easy on the eyes, if not necessarily the wallet. Shunning the awkward styling that plagued the last-generation Z3 Coupe, the new car's fixed roof design increases the Coupe's visual appeal, placing it in the same league as the stunning Porsche Cayman and the upcoming Audi TT. Blessed with near 50/50 front-to-rear weight distribution and a powerful in-line six-cylinder engine, the Z4 Coupe delivers the exhilarating driving experience purists demand without compromising on comfort. The rear hatchback design increases versatility over the Roadster version, making the Z4 Coupe a very livable daily driver.

"Just got it 1 month ago. A 35i with bluetooth, navigation, satellite radio, and 'bmw connect'. When I plug in my Ipod i can scroll through my different playlists, pick groups. The professional radio is outstanding. It has the 'm-sport' suspension and is very responsive. Finally, the navigation system is superb. Can be adjusted by the passenger while driving, audio directions (can be muted). Technology is very good - as good as anywhere."

"I own a 2003 BMW Z4 that I purchased new. This car is fantastic and built like a sherman tank. Recently I was sitting at a red light and got hit hard from behind. The guy that hit me took off before I could get any information. Can you believe the only damage to the rear end of the 4 was it lost a few little spots of paint the car didn't bend at all. I definitely will buy another one at some time. I love that car."
