Our quick take
BMW Z4 sDrive 18i Roadster - 4.0 / 5
An important box ticking exercise
Singing in the rain
An everyday roadster. Or coupe?
The ultimate driving machine? Not so much
To recap
BMW freshens up the Z4 and adds a base level engine that’s not without appeal – just a shame you don’t get better CO2 and fuel economy into the bargain. Otherwise the Z4’s appeal remains undimmed, with a snug cabin roof down, as good as a coupe roof up and a decent tech spec. Only slightly at-sea suspension settings when you’re really going for it let the car down.
