2019 BMW Z4 sDrive30i: Back and better than ever
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 дек 2019
- Bimmer's reborn Z4 is a return to form for the German roadster. With a relaxed but engaging driving style and an attractive design -- top down or up -- there's a lot to love, even with just the base engine. For an added challenge, we try to get through this entire review without mentioning its Japanese twin, the Toyota Supra.

Saw this video a few months ago and it really helped to hit home the my want for the Sdrive 30i Z4. I ended up ordering one and took delivery mid July. I must say that I'm incredibly impressed with mine, love taking pictures and just feels so good zipping around town in it.
Just bought a 2023 SDrive 30i for my wife as our second car…approx $60,000. We love it so far. It is very comfortable for a two seater. I do agree the drink holders are awful, but that’s the only quip we have. It has some M equipment on it and it is more than zippy. Even though it has a 4 cylinder engine, when the turbo kicks in, it gets with it. I passed a couple car the other day and was from 60 mph to 109 mph in a couple of short seconds. Excellent handling at that speed as well. Comparing the Z4 to the Mazda MK-5 Miata is a bit insulting…seriously…comparing a BMW Z4 to a Mazda…or to a Ford Mustang Ecoboost convertible is insulting…seriously!!! Both are cheaper for sure than the BMW, but you get what you pay for too. I’ve test driven all 3 prior to our BMW purchase. No comparison…the Z4 shines.
Great show 👏
3:46 i see watcha did there lol
4:35 $50k for a 4cyl??? NOPE, i cant, i just cant
Nice review. I think comparing this to a Miata is a stretch. What I really like is modern tech, tilted maybe a bit more towards comfortable cruising and road trips versus earlier generations and a return to the lower volume cloth roof. The drink holders are an astounding failure in that they are in an impossible location as noted in the video AND they eat up your console space which is usually full of important things. You will have to get after market drink holders. I am probably going to get a used one of these.
I wouldn't mind picking up one of these for a weekend car when they're available off-lease for under $40K.
Great review as usual Antuan!
Wow, such bashing. Seems all the commenters here care about is going fast. Ok, Ricky Bobby. I guess refinement and creature comforts mean nothing.
The exterior piano black trim already looks scratched
Gladly stick with my 2006 Z4 3.0si manual. 255 normally aspirated horses suits me just fine.
For bumpy roads, do you think is more comfortable with standard suspensions or with M adaptive suspensions set in comfort?
Does it feel a lot bigger and bulkier to drive them the MX5? I know the Boxster 981 does. The 987 felt a bit more small and nimble.
Those cup holder placements are beyond sad.
Needs a manual and say too expensive. This smaller engines variant should start at $40k considering you get nothing. I'd go Miata all day over this if I could fit :(
Blake Swan If you can’t fit you must be insanely tall! The new one has a telescoping wheel and that definitely improves prospects for those of us who were only a little too tall for it before. I think even Doug, who’s 6’4” or 6’5”, said he fit great in the new one. I’m only 6’, but the new one having that telescoping wheel gives me the comfort I need to get into one of those every day. The second used prices get low enough, I’m getting a ‘19 miata. Can’t afford this thing 😅
These always look real nice, but like your conclusion, not twice as nice as a Miata. The Miata club was such a bargain before they even added the extra horsepower. And the Miata cup holders are perfectly positioned well behind the drivers arm. Plus you average 30+ in combined driving. Personally I would rather have an old Z3 M edition than this newer one.
Meh. Miata doesn’t compare to this mega-beast.
@@benedictdonald4338 That's your opinion. I would much rather own a Miata and the extra cash. The Z4 isn't worth the money.
Ok, it's 2 MX5's or one of these. I'll take an MX5 and put the other 30G's into having a good time. That'd be one hell of a party and a pretty sweet car with a manual shift to boot!
Can’t decide which one I like more Z4 or Supra, however both need a manual option
Completely unaffordable for what you're getting. AND thats a 4 cylinder. Stick with the mustang ecoboost felas. Its no miata, but with a $600 Ford performance, ford designed, Powerpack 1 tune, the mustang ecoboost comes to life, especially at 5k+ rpm. Im talking nearly 400 horses. Not to mention, you can snag a MANUAL for 17k about with 2 more seats. Or go with the tried and true miata for a fraction of the price.
I wonder what the car looks like
I'm pretty sure the Android Auto omission is the least of your concerns when it comes to feeling like a second-class citizen.
I don't understand why they don't review the high-end model
Honda S2000
Supra 6 heading for some bargains as off to slow start
A base model 718 is twice as good and comes with three pedals.
No one does roadsters like #1 BMW & #2 Mercedes, on the race track even the M40i Zed 4 outruns the Porsche 718. I love my 2020 S Drive 30i and is a unicorn and the looks I get, shwing! Shame they compare to the new Supra as well just because Toyota begged BMW to make them something LMAO!
How does the JCW MINI COOPER GO FASTER THAN THIS?? ANNNNND HAS... MO POWAH BABY??!
What makes this car better than an F Type?
I really though the last generation was better looking inside and out. Almost beautiful. But hey this reviewer think this generic looking thing is better looking. I guess looks are subjective but to my eyes this new version looks so much more generic.
I love the new Z4 design but, sadly, I don't see anyone buying this car and BMW will kill it off in a couple years.
Love my MX5, and the best part about it is playing with the fantastic manual gearbox. Who wants an automatic roadster? At that point just buy a more comfortable 2 or 4 series drop top.
I do!
LMAO Miatas are for women! Can go manual with the paddle shifters, just as fun. No one says where is the beef in a Z4. A Z3 is even better!
Sound engineering is dreadful on this video. The music makes it difficult to hear the journalist.
Oh please don’t compare this to a Mazda
Who tf edited this video? BARELY any footage of the car itself. It’s all out of focus distant shots of the full exterior, then just a guy talking or close ups of parts. A car video should constantly clearly show the car
lol It farts when it shifts.
I feel embarrassed for it
This review is several months too late
SLC43, period repeat it SLC43
For less money you can buy a Mustang GT convertible and look better and go faster and have choice of transmission. Game, set, match.
