The two-seat 2008 BMW Z4, a part of the first generation of the model, is known for its agile handling and attractive design. It comes with either a soft-top convertible or a coupe body style. Engine options include a 215-hp 3.0L inline-six in the 3.0i trims and a more potent 255-hp 3.0L inline-six in the 3.0si trims, both pair with a six-speed manual or automatic transmission. Electronics include a standard CD player and optional navigation, while key safety features encompass stability control, traction control, and BMW's advanced safety system. However, the Z4 lacks the sophistication in ride quality of its rivals.
