The BMW Z4 is a two-seat roadster produced by the German manufacturer BMW. First introduced in 2002 as the successor to the BMW Z3, the Z4 is designed as a rear-wheel-drive sports car emphasizing performance and open-top driving.
The Z4 features a long hood, short rear deck proportions, and a retractable soft-top roof in its latest generations. It is powered by turbocharged gasoline engines, ranging from four-cylinder to six-cylinder configurations, depending on model variant. Performance-focused versions offer enhanced suspension systems, larger brakes, and increased engine output.
Built with a low center of gravity and balanced weight distribution, the BMW Z4 is engineered for responsive handling and dynamic driving characteristics. Modern versions incorporate advanced digital displays, driver-assistance technologies, and premium interior materials. The model represents BMW’s contemporary interpretation of the classic roadster concept, combining open-air motoring with sports-oriented performance.
