2026 BMW Z4 Model Review - Springfield, MO

What's New for the 2026 BMW Z4?

The BMW Z4 remains almost unchanged in the 2026 lineup, yet it still manages to impress with its blend of speed, driving enjoyment, and surprisingly generous interior space for its segment. You'll appreciate the swift-folding soft top, ample cargo capacity, and a cabin that balances comfort and roominess. When it comes to driving dynamics, the Z4 shines with excellent performance and composure, and despite its luxury appointments, it remains attractively priced.

What Are the 2026 Z4 Trims & Features?

For 2026, the Z4 is offered in two distinct trims.

As the entry point, the sDrive30i arrives well-equipped with 18-inch alloy wheels wrapped in performance tires, LED headlights with automatic activation, and a sport-tuned suspension. You'll also find a power-folding soft top, heated sport seats upholstered in high-grade synthetic leather, and an infotainment suite highlighted by a 10.25-inch touchscreen, a fully digital instrument cluster, wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, and wireless smartphone charging.

Stepping up to the M40i adds a heated steering wheel and power lumbar adjustments. Performance enhancements include a dynamic handling package featuring a sport differential, upgraded brakes, and adaptive sport suspension. You can further personalize this model with packages such as the Convenience Package (ambient interior lighting), Premium Package (additional driver aids), and various Performance Packages.
