| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 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 |

| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2009 | 2dr Hardtop conv. 255-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
no back seats 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 |
