Our take on this /// Verdict

The BMW Z4 M40i is a masterpiece that embodies the essence of a grand tourer, perfectly blending power, comfort, and style. My experience with this car has been nothing short of exhilarating, with its 3.0-liter twin-turbo inline-six engine producing 382 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque, making it a joy to drive on both long journeys and short, spirited runs. The cars acceleration is incredible, reaching 60 miles per hour in just 3.9 seconds, and its handling, though not as sharp as some sports cars, is more than adequate for a cruiser. The interior is luxurious, with premium materials and advanced tech features like the i-Drive system and a 10.25-inch touchscreen. However, its not without its drawbacks the lack of practicality, particularly in terms of cargo space and passenger room, is notable. Despite this, the Z4 M40i is a car that delivers on its promise of being the Ultimate Driving Machine, making it a compelling choice for those who value driving pleasure above all else.

Price

In India, the BMW Z4 M40i comes with a significant price tag, reflecting its high-performance and luxury features. The ex-showroom price for the Z4 M40i is around Rs 78.90 lakh. However, once you factor in the on-road costs, including taxes and other expenses, the price can easily exceed Rs 90 lakh, depending on the state and local taxes. While this is certainly on the higher side, the Z4 M40i offers a unique blend of performance, luxury, and style that justifies the cost for those who can afford it. Its worth noting that the lower-spec sDrive20i variant is available at a more affordable Rs 64.90 lakh ex-showroom, but if youre looking for the full M40i experience, the higher price is part of the package.

Latest Updates

Wednesday, 13 December 2023 11:16 PM The 2024 BMW Z4 M40i is now available with a 6-speed manual transmission, a significant update for driving enthusiasts. This manual transmission is part of the new Handschalter package, which also includes performance-enhancing parts like stiffer anti-roll bars, more aggressive wheels and tires, and tweaked adaptive suspension settings. The steering has also been re-tuned to improve road feel. I think this move will attract a lot of manual transmission fans who were missing this option.

Monday, 11 December 2023 12:22 PM BMW has announced that the manual transmission option for the Z4 M40i will not be a limited run and will be available until the end of the Z4s production, which is expected to be around March 2026. This decision ensures that enthusiasts can enjoy the manual transmission for the remainder of the models lifecycle. I believe this is a great move by BMW to cater to the loyal fan base of manual transmission drivers.

Monday, 11 December 2023 05:34 AM The market positioning of the BMW Z4 M40i has improved significantly, especially with the absence of competitors like the Audi TT and Jaguar F-Type. The Z4 now offers a unique blend of performance, comfort, and affordability, making it an attractive option for those seeking a luxury roadster. I think this could lead to better sales for the Z4 in its final production years.

Thursday, 19 October 2023 01:45 PM The 2024 BMW Z4 M40i has received subtle visual updates, including a new hexagonal pattern within the grille, new air intakes, and redesigned fog lights in the front bumper. The rear also features more gloss-black trim. These changes enhance the cars visual appeal without altering its core design. I think these updates keep the Z4 looking fresh and competitive in the market.

Thursday, 19 October 2023 11:42 PM The BMW Z4 M40i continues to offer impressive performance with its 3-litre straight-six turbo engine, producing 335bhp and 369lb ft of torque. The car also features an electronically controlled M differential and adaptive dampers, making it enjoyable for both long journeys and spirited driving. I believe the Z4 M40i strikes a great balance between comfort and performance.

Mileage

Monday, 18 November 2024 02:19 PM The fuel efficiency of the BMW Z4 M40i is surprisingly good, considering its powerful engine. In my experience, driving in the default Comfort mode yields around 26 miles per gallon, which is impressive for a car of its caliber. Switching to Eco Pro mode can even push this up to over 30 miles per gallon. This makes the Z4 M40i a relatively fuel-efficient option for a high-performance roadster, especially when youre not pushing it to its limits. However, its important to remember that actual mileage can vary based on driving conditions and habits, but overall, the Z4 M40i performs admirably in this regard.
