.BMW's high-powered roadster still turns heads.
The M40i's M Sport suspension with adaptive dampers, M Sport brakes, and M Sport differential used to be a point of separation over the more pedestrian hardware in the four-cylinder Z4, but no more, as BMW has upgraded the base car. The stout brakes hauled the Z4 to a stop from 70 mph in 149 feet, and they showed no fade in repeated stops. On staggered-size Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires, our Z4 M40i clung to the skidpad with a resolute 1.
The Z4's stiff body structure means there's no cowl shudder or quivering rearview mirror, no matter the road surface. The 19-inch wheels and low-profile tires don't provide a whole lot of cushion should you get caught out by a pothole, but even in the firmer settings, the suspension is not painfully stiff.When you're just cruising, you may be surprised at this hi-po roadster's fuel economy.
Compared to its long and lithe predecessor, the current-gen Z4 is a little thick around the middle, although that pays dividends in cabin space, where the driver and passenger aren't rubbing elbows, and the seat has enough travel for pilots well over six feet tall. There's also sufficient storage for phones, sunglasses, and the like, although the cupholders are under your elbow. With the top up, the cabin feels small, even if it isn't, owing to the small side windows and back glass.
