The Z4 is offered as three different models, sDrive28i, sDrive35i, or sDrive35is. Power for the sDrive28i comes from a 241-hp 2.0-liter direct-injection, turbocharged four-cylinder engine. The sDrive35i is powered by a twin-turbo, 300-hp 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder engine, while the sDrive35is gets a 335-hp version of the twin-turbo 3.0-liter inline six. Transmission choices include a six-speed manual, eight-speed automatic, or an advanced double-clutch seven-speed transmission. Standard features include Driving Dynamics Control which allows the driver to change the vehicles characteristics between normal, sport, and sport+ mode, adaptive brake lights, and a two-piece lightweight-aluminum hardtop.
Major changes included: The second generation Z4 features revised styling and improved performance over the previous model. Now offered with a retractable hardtop roof, the new Z4 replaces both the coupe and convertible models of the previous generation. Two trim levels are available, the sDrive30i and sDrive35i, each with different engines. A 255-hp 3.0-liter inline-six can be found in the sDrive30i, while a twin-turbocharged 300-hp 3.5-liter inline-six comes in the sDrive35i. A 6-speed manual is standard on both models, while a 6-speed tiptronic automatic is also offered and a 7-speed twin-clutch automated manual transmission is available on the sDrive35i. Addaptive M Sport suspension is also an option, and gives the Z4 a sportier feel.
