The 2026 BMW Z4 sDrive20i is a two-seat convertible that appeals to drivers who want open-air motoring with German engineering and don't need rear seats or practicality. Its standout strength is the combination of a lightweight 1430kg chassis with responsive rear-wheel drive and a 2.0-litre petrol engine delivering 145kW and 300Nm, creating engaging handling without excessive fuel consumption at 7.8L/100km. Prospective buyers should note the modest 3-star ANCAP safety rating is worth considering alongside the $3347 annual running costs and 210-litre boot that limits luggage for weekend getaways.
Configure the sDrive20iThe 2026 BMW Z4 M40i is a two-seat convertible built for drivers who prioritise engaging handling and open-air motoring, delivering 275kW from its 3-litre petrol engine with rear-wheel-drive dynamics that make it genuinely fun on winding roads. Its standout strength is the combination of responsive performance-0-100km/h in 5.2 seconds-with reasonable fuel efficiency at 7.8L/100km, plus a practical 210-litre boot that actually accommodates weekend luggage despite the compact footprint. Before committing, consider that it carries a three-star ANCAP safety rating and the 1520kg kerb weight means you'll notice fuel and maintenance costs in Australian conditions, though the five-year warranty provides decent peace of mind.
