2026 BMW Z4 ROADSTER MODELS

Choosing the right 2026 BMW Z4 requires matching the powertrain to your daily performance expectations. Both the sDrive30i and the M40i offer exceptional handling and premium features. However, they utilize vastly different engineering approaches under the hood. Sharpe BMW presents this technical comparison to help West Michigan drivers evaluate the differences between these two sophisticated models.

POWERTRAIN AND ACCELERATION DYNAMICS.

The 2026 BMW Z4 sDrive30i uses a highly efficient 2.0-liter BMW TwinPower Turbo inline-4 engine. This configuration produces 255 horsepower and allows the vehicle to accelerate from zero to 60 mph in 5.2 seconds. Drivers seeking maximum combustion performance will prefer the M40i. This model houses a 3.0-liter M TwinPower Turbo inline-6 engine that generates 382 horsepower, cutting the zero to 60 mph time to a blistering 3.9 seconds.

Performance Metric	2026 BMW Z4 sDrive30i	2026 BMW Z4 M40i
Engine Configuration	2.0L Inline-4 Turbo	3.0L Inline-6 M Turbo
Horsepower	255 hp	382 hp
Torque	295 lb-ft	369 lb-ft
0-60 MPH Acceleration	5.2 seconds	3.9 seconds

PERFECT HANDLING FOR WEST MICHIGAN.

Both models feature a classic rear-wheel-drive layout that highlights the dynamic driving style of a true performance vehicle. The near-perfect 50/50 weight distribution provides outstanding stability on the winding roads of M-22. The M40i further enhances this capability with standard M Sport Brakes and an Adaptive M Suspension for sharper cornering dynamics.
