BMW is putting the final touches to the new Z4,
including its production lights which give us a much clear look on what the new
Bavarian roadster will look like. With
the addition of the production head and taillights, we’re happy to report that
the new BMW Z4 will remain close to the concept’s design, something that sadly
isn’t always the case.
Codenamed the G29, the new generation of the Z4
rides on a new platform that’s also shared with the much anticipated Toyota
Supra. The platform has been engineered to support electrified powertrains as
well as all-wheel drive systems but the Z4 will also come in more classic
flavors.
Entry-level Z4 sDrive20i models will be powered by a
2.0-liter four-cylinder unit paired to a manual six-speed gearbox, reportedly
delivering a solid 194 hp and 320 Nm of torque. A more powerful
version of the same engine will also be offered in the sDrive30i models. A
six-cylinder B58 engine will find its way in the M40i version, which will be
the range-topper until BMW decides to give us a proper Z4 M once again.
BMW is set to put the new Z4 into production in
November 2018, with the more powerful iterations to show up on a later date.
