2022 Z4 Roadster Exterior
While not lacking in road presence, the latest Z4 Roadster's shape can take some time to get used to. The traditional kidney grille is unusually wide and conjures up images of the retro BMW Z8. It is more palatable than the severely elongated grille found on the latest 4 Series Coupe, that's for sure. The rear three-quarter view is perhaps the Z4's most attractive aspect, with a short rump and well-integrated taillights. The base model rides on 18-inch alloy wheels and features Satin Aluminum exterior trim, LED headlights, and LED daytime running lights. Both versions feature a black soft-top roof, but the M40i adds Shadowline exterior trim, an aerodynamic kit, and 18-inch M double-spoke wheels. Both models have dual-exhaust outlets, but these are more aggressively styled on the M40i along with the standard M Sport kit.

Dimensions
Official dimensions indicate that the BMW Z4 is shorter but wider than the Porsche 718 Boxster. The length works out to just 170.7 inches, concealing a 97.2-inch wheelbase. With the mirrors extended, the Z4 has a width of 79.7 inches, dropping to 73.4 inches, excluding the mirrors. The height of the little roadster is 51.4 inches. The M40i shares these dimensions but stands marginally shorter with a height of 51.3 inches. This version is the heaviest with a curb weight of 3,457 pounds, while the four-cylinder sDrive30i is a more lithe 3,287 lbs. That being said, the Z4 is quite a bit heavier than the Boxster.

Exterior Colors
The base Z4 is offered in a choice of seven colors, with only Alpine White being included without an extra charge. A range of six metallics each go for $550 and includes Black Sapphire, Glacier Silver, Mineral White, Mediterranean Blue, Misano Blue, and San Francisco Red. While we love the Misano Blue, it requires adding the M Sport package for an additional $1,500. The Z4 M40i offers a slightly different color palette, with Mineral White and Mediterranean Blue falling away, but it gets the additional choice of the awesome Frozen Grey II Metallic, although this will add $3,600 to your bill.
