About the 2025 BMW Z4
Thinking about a fun, top-down machine for your garage? The 2025 BMW Z4 is a classic roadster setup designed for pure driving pleasure without being overly complicated. With seating for just two, it truly focuses on the driver and passenger experience. You get two distinct flavors here: the capable sDrive30i starts the lineup around $54,500, while the hotter M40i pushes up toward $67,000. Even the base model delivers a respectable 255 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque to the rear wheels via a quick 8-speed automatic. For a sporty convertible, achieving 28 MPG combined (25 city/33 highway) means those weekend drives won't always demand a trip to the premium unleaded pump immediately.
