Every 2022 Z4 will be available with an eight-speed automatic gearbox with Sport mode and manual transmission, both of which are new for the model. Steering-wheel paddle shifters are also standard. That’s correct: For the first time, the BMW Z4 does not come standard with a conventional manual gearbox with a clutch pedal. You won’t notice it’s gone.

The BMW Z4 is a two-seat roadster with the potential to put a smile on practically every face. It’s tiny, stylish, handles well enough, and has powerful engines that it can drop its top. It’s ideal for someone searching for a sporty automobile without sacrificing space or handling. The Z4, while offering better handling than the Toyota Supra based on the BMW Z4 (which comes as a coupe only), delivers a more thrilling driving experience.
Even though the two-seat convertible market is contracting, it still boasts a number of strong competitors. The Z4 competes with well-known names like the Chevrolet Corvette, Audi TT, and Porsche 718 Boxster. Those rivals are more entertaining to drive and provide a ride that is comparable or better than the Z4’s mostly firm ride.
