The new Z4 will be powered by a 3.0 liter, inline-six-cylinder
engine. BMW has not confirmed the official power output for the
US spec Z4. However, expect output to be north of 350 horsepower.
According to BMW, the Z4 M40i can reach 60 mph from a standstill
in an estimated 4.4 seconds.
Inside, the Z4 will be equipped with a Harman Kardon surround
sound system, a head-up display, and BMW’s new LiveCockpit
Professional setup that blends the company’s long-serving iDrive
infotainment system with a new digital instrument cluster.
First Edition Z4s will also feature a special Frozen Orange
Metallic paint job, Vernasca black leather trim, BMW M-tuned
sports suspension completed with electronically controlled
dampers, an upgraded braking system, and an electronic rear
differential.

Unlike the current generation Z4, the 2019 model will have an
electronically operated soft top as opposed to a folding metal
roof.
BMW has not revealed the Z4’s pricing but may do so as early as
September. The 2019 BMW Z4 is expected to reach US showroom by
next spring. The Z4 M40i First Edition models will follow in the
second quarter of 2019.
