YearBody/PowertrainComment
2007 2dr Hatch 330-horsepower 3.2L I6
6-speed manual RWD
Adjustable thigh bolster and seat back bolsters offer great support and the Nappa leather is grippy to prevent sliding around. see full BMW Z4 review

2007 2dr Hatch 330-horsepower 3.2L I6
6-speed manual RWD
I would not recommend the car for EXTREMELY long road trips or the like. Comfort wise, if you used to something that is very plush or soft the car will feel too hard on badly paved roads. see full BMW Z4 review

There is no rear seat. see full BMW Z4 review

What Our Members Are Saying about the Powertrain of the 2008 BMW Z4

2008 BMW Z4 Powertrain: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2009 2dr Hardtop conv. 201-horsepower 2.5L I6
6-speed manual RWD
Though my model (23i - does not appear on this site yet) is the smallest of the three, it still packs enough punch for me. Again more of a tourer than a true racing machine. An excellent balance of power and smoothness. More money I would choose the 30i see full BMW Z4 review
2009 2dr Hardtop conv. 255-horsepower 3.0L I6
6-speed shiftable automatic RWD
smoothness of I6.. It has different driving modes (normal, sport, sport+) to meet your driving mood. see full BMW Z4 review

Pulls through the revs all the way to 8000, very fun. see full BMW Z4 review
2007 2dr Hatch 330-horsepower 3.2L I6
6-speed manual RWD
The S54 engine provides very linear power from 2000 to 8000 RPM. The 6-speed tranny is close ratio and smooth. Diff is limited slip to 40% see full BMW Z4 review
