The BMW Z4 is the brand's two-seat roadster. The third generation, code G29, returned for the 2019 model year after a two-year gap, developed alongside the Toyota Supra and built beside it at Magna Steyr in Graz, Austria. BMW abandoned the E89's folding hardtop for a lighter fabric roof that opens in 10 seconds at up to 31 mph, and gave the car a wider track, a 50:50 weight balance and a stiffer structure than its predecessor.
The U.S. range launched with the 255-hp 2.0-liter turbocharged sDrive30i and added the 382-hp 3.0-liter turbo six M40i for 2020, complete with an M Sport differential, adaptive M suspension and M Sport brakes. For 2025 BMW answered enthusiast demand with a six-speed manual gearbox for the M40i — the Handschalter package — alongside the standard eight-speed automatic. Every version is rear-wheel drive.
