2015 BMW Z4 review

1. Ride performance 

Your driving style will likely dictate which of the 2015 Z4's three engine options you’re drawn to. For confident everyday power, you’ll be pleased with the base engine, a lively 240-hp, 2.0L twin-turbocharged four-cylinder engine paired with a standard six-speed manual transmission. If you want more under the hood, the sDrive35i and sDrive35is trims are both powered by a 3.0L twin-turbocharged six-cylinder engine, good for 300 hp and 335 hp respectively, with delivery on both via a seven-speed automated manual transmission.  

2. Standard infotainment tech 

The characteristic of the BMW brand is a generous array of standard tech features, and the 2015 Z4 offers exactly what you need for cruising through the week in style. Soundtrack your daily commute or weekend adventure your way. Access your favorite artists via the Z4's six-speaker standard audio system, and a choice of musical sources, from the HD Radio, Bluetooth^® connectivity, and CD player, to plug-in options via USB port or auxiliary jack. 

3. Useful packages 

Identify a 2015 Z4 with the additional features of an available package, and you’ll get the upgraded benefits of extra tech, convenience, or entertainment. For cold winter mornings that make it hard for you to get started, the Cold Weather package includes heated front seats and a heated steering wheel. If you’re on the road for work most days, the Technology package features a useful navigation system, voice control capability, and smartphone app integration. 

4. Spacious interior 

Presenting as both spacious and cozy is no mean feat, but the 2015 Z4 carries it off with aplomb. The elongated exterior lines of this two-seat roadster draw the eye initially, thanks to its distinctive shark-nose style front end. Inside, the cabin reveals enough space for even the tallest occupant, with 39.1 inches of headroom and 42.2 inches of legroom when the hard top is up. Standard bucket seats are nestled low to create an intimate cabin experience, each with eight-way power adjustment allowing you to find personalized comfort. 

5. Road trip ready 

For beach days, getaways, and touring hidden gems in your neighborhood, the 2015 Z4 takes you there in style. Effortlessly switching up between open-air exhilaration and coupe comfort, the hard-top convertible roof retracts promptly at the touch of a button. Transitioning to convertible mode also has minimal impact on your trunk space. The 8.0 cu-ft trunk accommodates some of the roof and fold mechanism when the top is down, however, there’s still 6.3 cu-ft to play with, enough for trip essentials and shopping bags.
