2021 BMW Z4 sDrive30i

The Z4 is BMW's two-seat roadster, a convertible built for open-air driving and weekend escapes. It's a proper driver's car, with sharp steering and a balanced chassis that makes back roads feel like a playground. The cabin is snug but well laid out, with supportive seats and a straightforward dash that keeps your focus on the road. It's strictly a two-seater with a modest trunk, so you'll pack light for trips, but that's the trade for the drop-top fun. Its 2.0L I4 makes 255 horsepower and 294 lb-ft of torque, paired with a smooth eight-speed automatic and rear-wheel drive that lets you steer with the throttle on a winding road. Expect the ride to be compliant enough for daily use, though the standard suspension is a touch softer than the M40i's adaptive setup.
