The BMW Z4 (the successor to the BMW Z3) is one of the most enthralling sports cars available.
Defining Features
These include a front-engine/rear-drive layout, an elongated bonnet and rear-ward positioning of driver and passenger. While the first Z4 featured a traditional soft top, the current Z4 model has a sleek retractable hardtop – an all-weather option.
The current Z4 also represents a slight change in philosophy for BMW's roadster. Not only does it sacrifice ultimate handling for greater ride comfort and overall refinement, but it also employs a highly fuel-efficient turbo-charged four-cylinder as its base engine. The result is one of the most well-rounded sports cars money can buy

The latest BMW Z4 is an impressive and highly refined sport touring car, with a surprisingly roomy interior and decent trunk space as long as the retractable roof is raised.
Although the turbo-4 makes less power than the old inline-6, it's got more torque, and fuel economy is substantially improved
The Z4 is generally a smooth easy drive, especially if you go for the optional M Sport package and leave the adjustable drive settings in Sport mode.
Most buyers will appreciate the Z4's firm yet compliant ride and accomplished all-around performance and appreciate a ‘top-down’ journey as a wonderful way to spend a sunny day.
