BMW Z4 updated with fresh face and added equipment

The updated 2023 BMW Z4 roadster will launch in Australia early next year with a host of key revisions.

The open-top two-seater will feature fresh design accents for the exterior, newly available paint finishes, a new alloy wheel design and an expanded range of equipment to boost its appeal.

BMW Australia will continue its existing two variant line-up via the Z4 sDrive20i and M40i, with both providing a balance of performance and efficiency from their turbocharged petrol engines and eight-speed sport automatic transmissions.

Delivering a fresh and sporting look to the front fascia of the new Z4 is a new BMW kidney grille design that features horizontal slats and new front apron side air curtain intakes.

Complementing the new face is a new 19-inch alloy wheel offering. The M light V-spoke style 772 M Bicolour Jet Black matte wheels with a diamond polished edge add to the Z4’s aesthetic and sporting allure.

The revised M Sport Plus package now integrates M Lights Shadow Line, which replaces chrome touches for the headlight element surrounds with black.

Three new metallic exterior colours are also available, including M Portimao Blue, Thundernight and Skyscraper Grey.

Under the bonnet, the 2.0-litre 4-cylinder turbo petrol engine powers the Z4 sDrive20i M Sport with 145kW and 320Nm, while the punchier 3.0-litre inline 6-cylinder turbo petrol engine motivates the flagship z4 M40i with 285kW and 500Nm.
