This is the 2022 BMW Z4. The Z4 got an LCI refresh for this year so let's talk about the pre-LCI version.
I went into this review, thinking that the Z4 will be a small, uncomfortable, 2 seat roadsters with the pleasant but typical Bmw driving characteristics. But I was blown away with how great of an actual sports car this can be. This was the m40i variant, so it boasts the B58 incline 6 cylinder engine with 382 HP and 369 Torques. This is mated to a ZF8 speed transmission with paddle shifts and strictly rear wheel drive. Gas mileage EPA is low 20's city / 30 hwy. In my opinion, this is the best BMW powertrain matching excellent performance, reasonable gas mileage, and a great character. This years LCI refresh also got the additional manual transmission as an option in the m40i variant, making this an awesome option for those who want a 2 door roadster with good power, rear wheel drive and a manual transmission.
New Z4's starting around $66,000 but you can pick up a slightly used one in the mid 50's. Though in comparison to other 2 door coupes it's quite expensive, if you compare it to the Mercedes SL, it becomes quite the attractive offering.
It has a fairly large trunk for it's size, good front passenger space making this a viable every day driver. The Z4 has all of BMW's necessary tech, fantastic materials and great handling, this offers a lot for the money you're paying. The interior is similar to that of the 3 and 4 series with it's own flare and character which distinguishes it slightly from the other models within the line up.
I was pleasantly surprised driving this Z4. The powertrain is excellent. The ride was quite synonymous to that of an M4 that we drove. Steering was quick and precise and the rear wheel drive set up gives it that unique driving character that BMW's are known for. The only thing that would make this that closest thing to a M car is that manual transmission, which finally this year is available as an option!
