4 Things to Love About the 2021 BMW Z4

1. Turbocharged Powertrains

Configured in BMW’s sDrive rear-wheel-drive layout, both available models feature turbocharged engines. The Z4 sDrive30i is powered by a 255-hp 2.0L inline-four engine that accelerates from 0 to 60 in just over five seconds. For even more impressive power, the M40i model’s 3.0L inline-six delivers a staggering 382 horsepower and 368 lb-ft of torque and gets from 0 to 60 in under four seconds.

Both powertrains are completed with a fantastic 8-speed automatic transmission with launch control and steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters that change gears crisply and smoothly. The engines also help make the Z4 one of the most fuel-efficient sports cars on the market, with the sDrive30 getting an EPA-rated 32 MPG highway.

2. Precise Handling

The Z4’s wide, aggressive stance and low center of gravity lend well to its exceptional stability through the corners. Its front suspension uses an aluminum double-pivot spring and struts. The rear uses a multi-link suspension with a central link and several cast-aluminum upper transverse links. Available with the M40i, adaptive M suspension features electronically-controlled dampers.

Not only does the Z4 excel at spirited drives through twisty roads, but it also does just as well as an everyday car. Switch from sport to comfort mode and the suspension relaxes so that you can enjoy a supremely comfortable commute or cross-country road trip.

3. Luxurious Interior

As with any BMW, the Z4 offers unparalleled luxury and gorgeous design when it comes to its driver-oriented cockpit. The dashboard’s clean, sweeping lines add to the beauty and the controls are expertly placed. M Sport seats are available with fine SensaTec, Vernasca, or Alcantara/Leather upholstery and are well-bolstered to provide excellent lateral support during hard cornering.

Retracting the convertible top isn’t the only way to enjoy fresh air, as the multi-zone climate control automatically filters and recirculates the air. Personal storage is surprisingly generous with multiple compartments and a shelf located to the rear.

4. Technology

The Z4’s Live Cockpit Professional comprises of a 10.25-inch instrument display for the driver and a centrally-located infotainment touchscreen of the same size. Accessing the iDrive system is a breeze thanks to intuitive voice recognition and knob controls. Smartphone integration is available with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capability.

BMW’s Active Protection System is capable of detecting an imminent collision and prepares occupants by pre-tensioning safety restraints and closing the windows. It also continues to brake after a collision in an effort to minimize damage. The Z4 also features a rollover protection system and the Active Guard system, which can automatically engage the brakes in case of a potential impact.
