BMW Z4 ranks 8 out of 9 Luxury Sports Cars. This ranking is based on our analysis of 28 published reviews and test drives of the BMW Z4, and our analysis of reliability and safety data.
The 2010 BMW Z4 is bigger and badder than ever before. Plus, it now features a standard retractable hard top that lowers in just 20 seconds. One of the best all-around roadsters in this highly-competitive class, the 2010 BMW Z4 was named a finalist showdown for "Car of the Year."
Reviewers report that the 2010 BMW Z4 is the total package. It's sexy, luxurious, and sporty enough to wow most drivers. "While some premium roadster drivers are serious about power, handling and feel, a good many are more interested in style and fresh-air fun," writes Kelley Blue Book. "In a segment that includes the Porsche Boxster, Mercedes-Benz SLK and Audi TT, no car can appeal to both camps more so than the latest Z4. Inside, outside and underneath, the Z4 has the makings of one of the all-time great roadsters."

A whole new set of clothes and a new engine. Two models are in the lineup?Z4 sDrive 30i and sDrive35i, "s" denoting rear drive. Previous controversial flame-surfacing is tempered, the hump in the rear is smoothed, and the interior includes a new steering wheel and instrument pod. Coupe and softtop models continue, convertible gets hardtop option.
If you're in the market for luxury sports roadster, be sure to test drive the class-leading 2010 Porsche Boxster. It costs roughly the same as the 2010 BMW Z4, but is a much more capable sports performer and offers loads of more cargo room -- which enhances its practicality. Just note that while the 2010 BMW Z4's standard hardtop is retractable, the Boxster's is optional and must be manually removed.
