Thank you for doing this! Was getting tired of M40i videos

You reviewed the right model. People looking to buy this car are most likely to buy the 2L variants.

Great video, I have just bought the 2litre model 2 weeks ago and I have to agree with you its a fantastic car Love it

The 30i is the best compromise

This is the best review, out of all reviews I've watched. Thank you man

You hit the nail when you said, this car doesn't need a bigger engine. It is much more powerful than most of its drivers will be able to handle. I had lots of fun when I could testdrive it a few days ago. The only things that I would have liked even more would be a manual gearbox, further reduced weight, slimmer lines and less electronic assistance. I don't need HUD, line-assist and artifical engine-sound in a roadster. But taken as it is, I still like it a lot and it is without question much more comfortable and safer to drive than many older, more classic roadsters while it still preserved most of the fun-aspects. Well done BMW and nice review!

Your review made my decision easy! Buying the smaller engine. Thanks for a great video!

een hele duidelijke review! subscribed!

Still one of the only m2.0i reviews on the tube. good job and i bought one off the back of this.

Great video! I’m still back on the first year Z3 but it is fun!

z4 looks fantastic in person...drove the 20i and I was really surprised...It is really a lot of fun.....

Great video! Thanks your input

Nice review! ✌️😎 And I’m also pleased to see the base model being test driven for a change, instead of the M40i that most journalists want to get their hands on. I’ve yet to test drive any of these, though I intend to try them all, and may hire one for a day or two to make a better assessment of purchase desirability. From everything I’ve read and seen about the three engine choices, I suspect that the 2 Litre 255 BHP variant may be the way to go, because it’s lighter in the nose than the M40i and so - if the mid-range model is chipped (such tuning options are already available) - one would end up with a car that’s easily fast enough for most drivers, more frugal than the 6 Cylinder model, and more nimble in the corners. Sure, the Straight 6 sounds better, but the 255 BHP 4 pot actually sounds remarkably sporty for a much hated cylinder configuration.... much nicer sounding than the Boxster 4 pot allegedly, and also, the smaller engine is surely cheaper to service and maintain than the Straight 6? Incidentally, you commented that the exhaust note on the Z4 you drove sounded like it was coming from just behind your head...? I think that’s probably because BMW pipes the engine sound electronically through the sound system speakers, and there are large speakers mounted behind the seats... More and more manufacturers are resorting to that technique nowadays, to compensate for the relatively unexciting exhaust output from the smaller capacity, 4 cylinder turbo engines that are becoming the norm. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Thanks again for a sensible, down to Earth and fun review. 🙋🏻‍♂️

Great review .. dank u wel 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿.. getting mine on Wednesday 🙂

Stunning review of a great car! Baie dankie!

I'm a Mercedes fan but your video is so good, thumb up.

Now it is available with a manual transmission. What a delight! 😃

I love the look of this car, thanks for reviewing the 20i! Thinking about getting one in February. That's the car most of us are looking for anyway i think.

Great video, nice to see a base Z4 video. I have the previous generation Z4 6 cylinder and love it

Gran vídeo el motor del 20 i y del 30i es el mismo y la diferencia de cv(60) son de la electrónica o hay más?

Going to order a 20i .. this review confirmed my decision. Thx for that! 😊

Love the review. I have the E85, and appreciate the old dials. But a screen in the dash of my old car would be nice...

Cool Video my friend thank you from Germany ❤

I've put down a deposit on an M Sport 20i and picking up next week, very excited! Out of the many reviews I've watched this is definitely in my top 2 - great review! Could I ask at 0:59 - where did you get this photo from?

What a fantastic down to earth honest review for the everyday sports car use it is intended for instead of those M40i this and that reviews as though the 2.0i isn't up to their personal motorsport standards, yada yada get a Caterham or go racing then !!!.......... Well done man !!!!! Everyday luxury sports car, not track car !

Cheers for this. Just ordered mine for a delivery in October.

Thanks, great review. I'm miss manual shifting and i naturally aspirated engines in the new BMWs. I sold my F30 328i 2015 in favor to E46 flat-6 ;) Very good that it's still fun in normal speeds, but how is it on the edge? BMW 328i 2015 is not so good on the edge in some situations, and can go from understeer to oversteer. Gratings from a purist.

I've got a 30i with the M sport+ option, in sport individual mode its fantastic

It's a magic car: when you enter it, your coat disappears (05:09). ;) Great review I can't wait for mine to arrive... I think the 30i is the sweet spot. The 40i is more front heavy and the taxes in Europe... :(

Nice video!

You can enjoy a lot while staying within the speed limit … I like that

Thank you so much for this Video to a normal Engine. ;)

I own an e86 3.0si coupe manual, I am keeping it as a Modern classics and that straight six is awesome. This is a better interpretation of the Zed 4 than the last model, I'm all for the NA engine but good car by modern standard.

Nice Video...👍

THE BEST OF THE BEST ❤❤❤BMW❤❤❤❤

Thanks for a very good and informative video. By the way, what you hear 20 cm behind you is not the exhaust but the loudspeakers producing the exhaust note which is expected by the common sports car driver.

Nice test

Are you planning to get your hands on i30 and i40 to campare them all? That would be interesting.

I just buy a BMW Z4 2019 2.0I with only 163bh ....i dont find any data for this model of engine

Great video. It's a nice looking car but personally I prefer my E85 and having a manual box and proper dials, rather than that odd looking screen. I reckon in sunlight that would be invisible.

Very nice review! Bought the 20i Last week, still waiting getting my licence back 🤦🏼‍♂️

Erstmal danke für das tolle Video. Ich habe mir den Wagen, so wie du ihn testest, in der Vollausstattung bestellt und bekomme ihn am 20.Mai. Das Video erleichtert mir ein wenig die Vorfreude auf den Tag wo ich ihn selbst fahre. Zur Zeit fahre ich noch den E89 2.3i. Ein BMW den ich schätze, aber den ich auch gerne gegen diesen eintausche. First of all thanks for the great video. I ordered the car in the full equipment as you test it and will receive it on the 20th of May. The video makes it a little easier to anticipate the day I drive it myself. At the moment I drive the E89 2.3i. A BMW I appreciate, but I also like to exchange for this.

I'm from korea but i love the review 😊😊

Is it still for sale?

The first 6 sports cars I had were standard/manual. After the 10th time being stuck in rush hour traffic for an hour or 2 , you will opt for paddle shift believe me.

Good video

Im getting this Z4 20i soon. Can the roof be opened using the key or it’s an option? Im looking forward to it

What about the 30I? do you think that this engine is the sweetspot?

OK. i will buy 20i when i have money ~

I think this is the best engine to get. I love Z cars but they have never been all about speed like the proper M cars. They are about having the roof down on a nice day and just having some fun. I think the problem for me with the 40i is that it gets too expensive, it's like 60,000+ EUR on the road depending on taxes and for this price I can get a Porsche or if I buy a car that's a few years old I can even get a supercar for this money. I think BMW will mostly sell this 2.0L version because for most Z drivers this gives them everything they need, it's fast enough and it's more affordable. If you just want a race car then better to buy an M4 imo. I still like my E89 Z4 better though tbh, I like the hard top. I think the hard top makes more sense in northern Europe due to the weather most of the year. If you live in the south of France or California or something it's not so important maybe. Even the hard top Z4's have had a lot of problems with water getting in. I'd like to wait a few years for problems like these to be addressed before I thought about getting one of these. Sadly I know from experience that repair/maintenance costs on Z's are not cheap!

Just a question. How tall are you? Is it enough space?

Thanks.......

is it good car for a bad roads in the city? I mean some road pits in the city(Russia has bad roads)

How does it stack against the 2.0L 184hp MX-5??

on the f32 4 series it also doesn't show the gear in drive

can i have the budget one please? thank you.

is the 20i also dual clutch? is it fast?

m sport package?

How is it compared with 718 Boxster?

I live in Hong Kong and just bought this 20i in MANUAL! I am puzzled that you guys in Europe (at least in the UK, now the Nederland) DON'T have it (except Germany perhaps according to BMW website). My car was a special order but cancelled, hence I got a big discount from BMW. Problem is, I just don't seem enjoy it and I do miss the auto box very much, having not driven a manual for 25 years!! I have no confidence to say quickly pull out from stop in traffic fearing my gear changing being too slow! And the set up is so sensitive that lifting up the clutch a bit fast you get a real jerky motion - that makes me miss the auto even more, when you can just floor it down! Also in no way I am getting those beautiful exhaust note you and other channel are showing. With a manual it seems you really need to shift once it gets to about 2500 revs otherwise the engine seems complaining! Any thoughts on that?

How tall are you? because I wanna know if the wind messes up my hair

See it for the first time. Is the more powerfull 2 liter worth the money?

One of the reasons why i would like to see which gear the car is driving in is to make sure the gearbox isn’t faulty and is not stuck in 4th gear for instance.

Cool is that the new Convertible Supra?

0:34 hahahaha lol

I will wait 7-8 years for this budget purchase LOL

With a tune This engine makes way more power

Now there is manual in 2.0

I will go for a MX5

BMW should make a hypercar.

This or MX-5 🤔?

Yep, je hebt niet de allermooiste Z4 genoemd, de E89. Die is mooier dan de huidige generatie.

Front look like Jaguar f-type.....

Unless you are a show-off you don't need the M40i BUT the basic cars interior is a bit black & bleak.

Hey Maciek! 🙋‍♂️

Feel like they've taken a step backwards with the soft top...

This car is a Toyota 🇯🇵🇯🇵

Oh God... that new z4 is ugly... maybe higher trim will look better

The Z4 is the worst BMW car in there lineup. You would know with in 10 min of driving. It seems this guy is really trying to convince him self it a nice car. BMW knows the only way for them to sell any of there cars is to put an M-Badge on them even its fake.

Really annoying how the presenter is shouting

I love the g92,ive got one but the 2.0(30)268 hp version.For those who prefer the e serie,i would said the same if i cant afford one.
