Sales figures for the first quarter of 2025 show demand for the Z4 roadster has increased whereas interest in the XM is fading. The BMW crowd is more likely to appreciate the style and hybrid-less performance of BMW's X5 M Competition or be happy with the opulence of the BMW X7. The XM tries to combine both, but it doesn't.
The iconic BMW Z4 Roadster pushes the boundaries. Take it further with available Adaptive M suspension and the M Sport package for even more dynamic driving. Above all, the Z4 is a unique driving experience that makes freedom tangible, from the first mile to far beyond the horizon.
Already a design icon. The BMW Z4 is instantly recognizable. For context, even the BMW Z4 roadster, which has been around in its current form since 2018, outperformed the XM in 2024 with 2,129 units, marking a 30% increase over the previous year.
