What Is the 2025 BMW Z4?

The BMW Z4 is a two-seat droptop sports car with rear-wheel drive and a choice of two engines: a 255-horsepower, turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder or a 382-hp, turbo 3.0-liter inline-six. Both are paired to an eight-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters affixed to the steering wheel. A six-speed manual transmission is newly available with the six-cylinder engine for 2025. Fun to drive and surprisingly composed with its top up, the Z4 even boasts a decent-sized trunk, measuring around 9.9 cubic feet in capacity.

If you like the Z4 but prefer a fixed-roof coupe over a convertible, the Toyota GR Supra is worth considering. The current Z4 and Supra were co-developed by BMW and Toyota, and they share the same platform and powertrains (though the Supra lost its 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine for 2025). Additional rivals include Porsche’s 718 Cayman and Boxster, as well as the Chevrolet Corvette.

What’s New on the 2025 BMW Z4?

As mentioned above, the six-cylinder Z4 adds an available six-speed manual transmission for 2025, following in the footsteps of its GR Supra counterpart (which gained an optional six-speed for 2023). The Z4’s manual gearbox adds a hefty $3,500 to the bottom line, but that price includes unique springs, a retuned differential and traction control, reinforced anti-roll bar mounts and a few cosmetic upgrades. Z4s with the manual transmission also ride on unique staggered wheels, with 19-inch wheels up front and 20s on the rear.

What Features in the 2025 BMW Z4 Are Most Important?

Standard features include: 

  • Power-folding top with heated glass rear window
  • Heated seats
  • 12.3-inch digital instrument panel
  • 10.25-inch touchscreen with navigation
  • Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone connectivity
  • Two USB ports
  • Dual-zone climate control
  • Synthetic leather upholstery
  • LED headlights
  • Rain-sensing wipers
  • Forward collision warning with city collision mitigation
  • Automatic high-beam headlights

Available features include: 

  • Heated steering wheel
  • Adaptive sport suspension
  • Six-speed manual transmission
  • Front and rear parking sensors
  • Head-up instrument display
  • 12-speaker Harman Kardon stereo
  • Leather upholstery
  • Adaptive cruise control
  • Lane departure steering assist
  • Blind spot warning

Should I Buy the 2025 BMW Z4?

The Z4 delivers a great blend of driving excitement and everyday usability. Sure, some direct competitors will be quicker through corners or around a sinuous racetrack, but this BMW’s classy cabin, spacious-for-a-two-seater trunk and hushed top-up soundtrack make the Z4 so much more than a weekend plaything. The standard turbo-four is peppy, but the optional turbo-six gives the Z4 the speed and performance of a true sports car. The long-awaited addition of a manual transmission for 2025 should make many enthusiast drivers happy.
