The Z4 M40i First Edition is powered by an updated version of BMW’s 3.0-litre inline six-cylinder engine which propels the car from 0-100 km/h within an estimated 4.4 seconds. For a sporty driving experience, the Z4 M40i has been fitted with M-tuned sports suspension, M performance brakes and an electronic rear differential.
