FAST FACTS
MotorDonkey's proprietary vehicle data identifies every significant version of each model so that you can compare and decide. Ordered by price from low to high, here are the versions of the 2024 BMW Z4 that you need to be aware of, along with our expert analysis and recommendations.
We'd rather have the M40i version's inline-6 engine, but the base Z4 is a sporty little thing that puts the wind in your hair, so there's a lot of appeal no matter what's under the hood.
If you're already considering the base Z4, we think it's a no-brainer to shell out for the M40i variant. Packing 382 horsepower into such a tiny package is a recipe for big fun, especially with the top down. To us, the Z4 doesn't feel complete without the inline-6.
