BMW Z4

BMW Z4 Exterior

The Z4 evolved along with Toyota’s iconic sportscar, the Supra, and it now carries an exceptional design. Unlike many new BMWs, the kidney nostrils here are adequately sized, the sharp and angular smoked headlamps are brimmed with LEDs, and the broad haunches lend a sense of masculinity.

The profile is typical roadster affair too, replete with a stretched-out nose, short rear stance, and massive M Sport alloy wheels. The rear-end, on the other hand, looks a bit chunky in comparison to the front-end and profile. Nevertheless, the wraparound LED taillamps gel well and are a cool addition.

BMW Z4 Variants

The BMW Z4 variants, namely, are sDrive 20i and M40i. As indicated above, it features Adaptive LED headlamp with variable light control at the front. While the base-spec trim gets 17-inch V-spoke alloy wheels, the M Sport trim gets 18-inch alloy wheels. The wraparound taillamps, on the other hand, are standard across the range.

Moreover, it gets a 10.25-inch infotainment display with wireless Apple Carplay support, BMW Live Cockpit display for instrumentation, dual-zone climate control, multi-functional steering wheel, and much more. Some optional features include a 12-speaker 408W Harman Kardon hi-fi audio system, wireless mobile charging, auto-parking, and a head-up display.

BMW Z4 Interior

Like the new BMWs, here too, you get twin displays, one of which serves as the instrument cluster while the other 10.25-inch display functions as the company’s iDrive infotainment system. It also gets sporty Alcantara leather bucket seats, which are very supportive, cup holders in the centre console, ambient lighting and dual-zone climate control. The quality of the interior is nothing short of impressive. The soft-top of the Z4 is electrically operated and works with the press of a dedicated button, which then takes around 10 seconds to open or close.
