BMW has signaled a clear departure from previous Bangle-era cues across its lineup and the Z4 is no exception. Gone is the awkward line running up the sides of the car and across the front fenders, headlights, and nose. The new headlights are pulled back and sleek, rather than droopy and oddly shaped as on the outgoing car. In fact, combined with the broader twin-kidney grille, the new Z4 almost looks like it has a hint of Aston Martin in the front end. Around the back, the new rear end is clearly related to the one on the new 6 Series coupe.
Though you probably won’t notice it from the photo, the Z4 has grown up a bit. The new car is 5.8 in. longer, 0.4 in. wider, 0.3 in. lower, and the wheelbase has grown an imperceptible 0.1 in. Though not much physically larger, it has gained some weight. The Z4 has gained 200 to 300 lb across all models and now ranges from 3241 lb to 3494 lb. Some of that weight comes from the new aluminum retractable hardtop, the first for a BMW Z roadster, which BMW says can be opened or closed in less than 20 sec. The roof is controlled by a button on the center console or by your key fob when equipped with the optional Comfort Access system. BMW says the new car effectively serves as the replacement for both the Z4 coupe and roadster, although a soft top option has been rumored.
