2011 BMW Z4 sDrive30i

The 2011 Z4 is BMW's two-seat roadster, a hard-top convertible that blends open-air fun with everyday usability. It's a sharp driver's car, with quick steering and a chassis that feels planted through corners, though the ride is firm. Inside, the cabin is snug but well-built, with supportive seats and a straightforward layout that puts the driver first. Owners love the retractable hard top and the eager engine, calling it fun every time they get behind the wheel. The sDrive30i is the entry point to the Z4 lineup, sitting below the sDrive35i and sDrive35is, and gives you the same retractable hard top and sharp handling for less money. Its 3.0L I6 makes 255 horsepower and pairs with a six-speed manual, sending power to the rear wheels for a classic roadster feel that's eager to rev. Fuel economy is 22 mpg combined, which is reasonable for a convertible, and the standard six-speed manual lets you wring out every bit of the engine's character.
