BMW’s two-seater roadster and twin to the Toyota Supra has been given a refresh for 2023 -
retains its auto-only status. Making the most of a punchy 369lb ft of torque, the M40i’s 0-62mph time remains an impressive 4.5sec, helped out by a launch control function.
The entry 20i model features a 194bhp variant of its B48 turbocharged four-cylinder, reaching 62mph in 6.6sec. Eagle-eyed Z4 fans might notice the removal of the 262bhp 30i model, a powertrain option that’s still utilised by the entry-level Supra. There are no technical changes under the skin, but fundamentals like the 50:50 weight distribution and a short wheelbase/wide track stance remain. Like before, the Z4 has a slightly more laid-back setup to the spikier Supra, and in the case of the M40i comes with standard adaptive dampers and an M Sport differential.
Being one of the first models to integrate BMW’s current generation switchgear and interfaces, the interior is also unchanged, retaining the previous car’s ornate stitching on the seats and door cards. As with the current model, the Z4 will be built by BMW Group’s production partner Magna Steyr in Austria. The current model is expected to see through to the end of its model cycle, but given BMW’s new priorities in EVs and its neue klasse platform, a successor at this stage is unlikely.
