The BMW Z4 is a two-door, two-seat roadster from BMW that combines the fun of open-top driving with BMW’s signature sporty character. Its latest generation (G29) comes with a fabric soft-top roof that opens and closes electrically, unlike the previous generation’s folding hardtop. In Indonesia, the Z4 is offered in the sDrive30i M Sport variant and the top M40i variant.
Its design has a long nose and a short rear, with a large kidney grille, slim LED lights, and a bold M Sport body kit. Its dimensions are compact, with a length of around 4.3 meters and a height of only around 1.3 meters, so it looks low, nimble, and athletic. The cabin seats 2 passengers, making it perfect for trips for two.

The Z4 is available with two engine options. General specifications:
