2019 BMW Z4 - the new Z4 M40i falls into a bit of a gap in the market: 0-60 mph takes 4.4 seconds, top speed is electronically limited to 155 mph, and the 3.0-liter turbo six generates 382 hp (at 5,000-6,500 rpm) and 369 lb-ft of torque (from 1,600-4,500 rpm). Compare those figures to say a Porsche Boxster S, which knocks 0.4 seconds off the 0-60 mph time when equipped with the Sport Chrono package; or to a Chevy Corvette, nearly three-quarters of a second quicker to 60 and likely no heavier than the BMW (the Bavarians haven’t released the curb weight for the Z4 M40i, but the sDrive30i weighs in at 3,286 lb with the turbo four-cylinder engine; the Corvette Convertible 1LT weighs in at 3,362 lb per the manufacturer). And of course you have the Toyota Supra, built on the same internal hardware, but tuned with different software, and wearing different exterior sheet metal. (I’ve driven both the Supra and the Z4, by the way, and they’re unbelievably different in feel and behavior).

The Z4’s dynamic chops are unmistakable from the first blip of the throttle and turn of the wheel. On a slippery, recently repaved Estoril road course, the Z4 crabbed and slipped its way into, through, and out of every corner at the limits of adhesion with something between eagerness and ease—neither the driver nor the car ever feel bored, but sometimes, if the driver isn’t fully on it, it almost feels like the car is judging you, ever so slightly. Like it’s taking affront at not being able to entertain you.

as the formula is, topologically, very similar to the last hot Z4: a turbocharged 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder drives the rear wheels through an eight-speed automatic transmission, and the top opens up—although this time, it’s a folding soft top rather than a retractable hard top. Instead, it’s more about what hasn’t gone into the new Z4, which is to say, it’s not replete with tuning and features designed to lure in the widest possible spectrum of buyers. Put another way, it’s not that they’ve spiced up the Z4; it’s that they’ve left out all the bland filler. The resulting flavor is much more concentrated.
