It’s also perfectly acceptable to have the roof down on long stretches of dual carriageway and motorway without feeling like your head is going to be blown off. The M Sport seats (again, standard on every Z4) are bespoke to BMW’s roadster and are superb – offering just the right amount of support when needed. This is where the Z4 driving experience surprises the most because it's wonderful on long journeys. In Comfort mode the adaptive suspension with electronically controlled dampers (now standard on every Z4) goes to its softest setting. The 281-litre boot might not sound like much but compared to the combined 275-litre storage space of a Porsche Boxster S, the new Mercedes SL’s 213-litre boot and even the Lexus LC's197-litre boot, it’s not at all bad. It might be a little two-seater, but the overall finish is up there with BMW’s bigger and more expensive offerings, with a quality feel to pretty much everything. Disappointingly, BMW’s new iDrive 8 infotainment tech doesn’t feature but you do at least get a election of physical buttons on the dash and the older infotainment system on the 10.25-inch screen is a doddle to use – just not as impressive as the one in BMW’s other recent arrivals.
Inside it’s all the same as you’d find with the pre-facelift model. New BMW Z4 sDrive20i M Sport 2019 review.Both engines have been retained with the facelift, but the trim level range has been simplified to to comprise only the entry-level M Sport and the M40i. When we first drove the third-generation Z4 back in 2019 we thought the lower-spec models with the smaller four-cylinder engine were the pick of the range. Our first taste of the revised Z4 comes in range-topping, straight-six form. BMW’s Z4 has just received a facelift, however, perhaps looking to gain some customers from its vanquished foes. The struggles the roadster market has faced in recent years have been well documented and are evident in the Mercedes SLK/SLC ceasing to exist and the Audi TT due to be shuffled out the back door this year. The Z4 has no huge flaws and in many ways it’s perfected the modern roadster formula - but ageing technology, an increased price tag and a lack of dynamism are let downs. We’re a little disappointed with the Z4’s 2023 facelift, because we would’ve liked to see BMW extract some more sportiness from this G29 generation car.
