The 2023 BMW Z4 M40i Is Sweet Sounding High-Powered Roadster With GR Supra DNA 

As a current Z4M40i owner, I can say with absolute certainty that it’s a brilliant roadster.

Thank god the interior is still the older-gen style and not the dual screens!

I have never seen a reviewer enjoy his work more than you! Well done!

Thank you so much. You really make me want to go out and get one. I, too, hope they continue to make them.

Always like Sofyan's driving reactions lol

The z4 is a great convertible, it's a damn shame no one really considers it. BMW acts like it doesn't exist and everyone talks about the supra. I havent seen a single one of these on the road.

Great review. I still own a 98 z3 5 spd. Still love it.

BMW did a huge disservice to the Z4. They didn’t market it properly or gave it any attention. Instead BMW focused on making their core models even uglier 🐽 It’s an amazing convertible, if not the best in its class. I have the Supra, but if I wanted an upscale convertible this would be the one to get.

Love the body lines/look! Way better looking than previous incarnations! :-)

You talk like this is based on a Supra when It’s the other way around, the Supra is a rebranded Z4

This could represent the car that replaces my SLK 230...25 years old and still turning heads.

I had a 2009. Z4 2nd gen, liked it a lot, but car had few shortcomings, at 3600lbs. Was heavier than most sedans, which made it kind of slow, sold it right after 2 years.

There’s no Supra dna. The Supra is a bmw with a Toyota logo

Love my z4 m40i, yes there are faster coupes and big luxurious cars but the z4 is as you said "fun"

The headlights get me every time. Looks like Jumba from Lilo and Stitch. The older ones are so sexy.

It's a really nice looking car; very tempting now that they are going to make a manual with a few more upgrades.

THANK YOU for showing the price on the initial stats page!!

nice and very balance review... keep doin' it...!

Very nice review.

6:35 Whoa the Crackles and Pop sound Fantastic

Lol, "this Supra" 🤣 😂 Good video

Wife got a m40i last year. I never liked convertibles. A year later with the m40i im changed. The most fun car to drive by far ive owned. And it is way quicker to 60 then what bmw claims. Future classic 100%

I still have too much fun driving my 2003 Z4 3.0, 6 spd. to consider buying a new one.

I think the Supra has the Z4 DNA, not the other way around!

I prefer this Z4 over the GR Supra.

BMW's icon, alongside its predecessor, the Z3 from the '90s.

iDrive 7 with BUTTONS for the WIN!! 🔥💪 Grab them while you can fellas!

Such a good roadster!

Love this car, but not as much as I love the Supra! The only problem I see with this car is that it's way too heavy. It needs to be no more than 3000 lbs. with that amount of HP.

Wish I had this exhaust in my m340i

What do you think of this versus a 718? My guess is the 718 is more of a pure sports car but the Z4 is a better value?? which one would you spend your money on?

Supra and the M240i

Can’t take the paint through a car wash? But it’s gonna be fine driving on the road? Hahahah

Great production. Bought my first BMW, a ‘22 Z4 M40i, couple of years ago. I’ve been an Audi guy for many years, still am, but I wanted a roadster for once in my life. The TTRS roadster never did it for me, the looks were ugly. The 718 Boxster looks great, classic, but it sounds like shit now. The Z4 M40i was a great discovery for me. First time I test drove it, I fell it love with it. I enjoy driving it as my fun weekend car on a sunny day. And the sound of that in-line 6! 😊

Ugh stop saying big screens in smallwr cars "are looking q bit small" cuz we will end up with the atrocity that is the muatangs new screens , stop , stop it annoying reviewers

That orange is tasteful

Hey hey hey thanks for pointing out its been ALMOST 30 YEARS since it was introduced in 1996.......I was born in 96 😂🥲

was that a cop car after u launch it ?

9:25 in time for fall and Halloween 🎃

Why your voice is echoing since you got inside the car?

That B58 3.0L turbo inline 6 is just a masterpiece and monster of an engine 👏👏👏 I’m sure that the Z4 M40i offers the xDrive AWD, but someone can correct me.

My wife has the 2 litre 4. She likes it so much that she orderd an M40. Especially after finding out that the Z4 is going away.

I hate that my 23 x3M40i exhaust doesn’t sound like this😢

Is that a Supra? 🔥

One minor thing...I wish BMW had left the option for wood grain trim for the interior.

Needs the 360 camera to help it park and record any accidents

As a future owner of this car 😂, I love it a lot

These are insanely fun to drive!!! The numbers don’t do it justice at all. Awesome review SB🤙🏾… $15k more and you can have an M4 vert though👀

I`ve had a Z3 3.0i, a Z3 M (Clown Shoe) and a Z4 M Coupe, all great cars...test drove one of these and found it far too "frantic" with the turbo charged engine...I so badly miss the 6cyl N/A BMW motors, they sounded better and were much more pleasurable to drive and live with day to day...

Unfortunately these things were forgotten about the day they came out.

i want one

What did they change in the inside tho 😂😂

No mention of the Jaguar F-Type.

He loves the Supra😁

I want those seats in my white Supra

I have a 22 Supra. I am getting the Z4 for my wife. Can't go wrong

Wow so many vehicles have come out I almost forgot about this car. $76,500 😅

🔥🔥🔥🔥🙌

i use a 440i as my road trip car

Just give it the Supra's manual please (then I can buy one one when it comes off someone's lease in three years 😅)

Does Air-Scarf also blow cold air??

Always with the slow step intro

I don't know why but any of my friends or family members that have a BMW have a lot of high cost repairs...

That interior looks extremely orange. You called it magma Red. Is this a white balance thing and it's actually more red?

One thing I find odd. Back a long time ago, when you saw a car with black side mirrors, that was an entry level car,....but now, for some reason, it is wanted? Why? I'd much prefer body colored side mirrors. Also, I'm not a fan of cars that crackle and pop when you let off the gas. Also not a fan of red seats. Just my preference, of course. Same for the side mirror thing.

I going to buy new BMW Z4 convertible soon.

do they have manual version?

It should have BMW logo on the side vent

The Z4 hasn't even been on my radar. I almost forgot it existed. I've been saving up to buy a Boxter GTS for years, but I need to take a closer look at this Z4 M40i. It seem s to offer very similar performance to the Boxter, but with a bit more luxury and comfort. Even compared to the C8 Stingray, the Z4 is cheaper...although less performance. The Z4 is the cheapest option of the three, which demands a closer look.

Really wish it came with a manual. Only thing stopping me from getting one

in the rear passenger side of the engine bay is the 48Volt battery for the mild hybrid setup. Convertibles shouldn't be taken through car washes regardless of the color due the rear rain rail limited ability to channel water also the detergents on the fabric top can be a problem over time. Plastic wrapping this color would save it. The M sport brakes arent the carbon brakes. M sport brake pads are around $250 for the pads. The carbon brakes are several thousand ridiculous dollars more. In comfort mode the exhaust when you are putting along the exhaust sound is barely noticeable, get on the gas and it comes alive and sounds quite agressively awesome. BTW, the back of the paddle shifters are covered in leather.

And now available with a 6MT!

Where is the refresh info? 😂 How did Car and Drive get 3.5 sec.0-60?

Matt paint is alot of care and maintenance to keep it looking good won't recommend if you don't like hand washing car

Supra DNA? No the Supra is structurally a Z4

People may overlook this car for the 4 series convertible.

i think your title is misleading, rather it is the Supra with BMW Z4 DNA...more BMW parts in the Supra than Toyota parts in the BMW?

wow...

Well sofan maybe a new miata for yourself for those weekend cruises

2023 BMW Z4 M40i RWD 50 Years Special Edition Roadster!

Beautiful machine. A bit pricey... like everything for sale these days

the refresh of the z4 made the exhaust pipes the same across both s30i and m40i in the north american market at least

yo is that a supra?

Too bad it doesn't come with the B48A20T1

The cup holders are a disaster.

If they built the Roadster concept I'd buy it, despite the ugly mug.

Other testers have gotten 3.7 seconds to 60

Never compare a German brand with Toyota lol

I am the current owner of the M40I. Now it has a manual shift option which is epic, but it is far too late. I will save you your money and give you a better option for a better car. Buy a slk55. Less BS tech garbage that you do not need, and a fun 8-cylinder, manual shift option, better looking, better build quality, and I should repeat...a manual shift option without all the tech BS that nobody needs. I hate the gauge display in the Z4 passionately. It feels like a family car from the Nissan gauge cluster. It is overly busy and gaudy. You should have put standard gauges and manual shifts. The car would have sold thousands more

Dope car. Not worth 75k though . I’d get an M2 with the carbon seats/roof for 75k

The car wash wont necessarily scratch the matte paint, however it will try to make the car glossy. So the matte paint will have splotches of waxiness. Just don't take it to the car wash...

Imagine if that thing was actually classically beautiful. They would be HOTCAKES

Yo bro is that a Supra????

Does anyone actually like that front bumper and headlights?

No manual transmission. No convertible Z to force BMW to make a manual version. I'll stick to the Miata.

With the V6 engine, it’s a hell of a bargain compared to the Boxster.

The new "Supra"isn't even a Toyota supra.. It's literally just a BMW Z4 with a Toyota badge on top.

Not a one touch power opening and closing top

Car wash? A convertible? Really?

74k, lol, no thanks.
