The company has always been concerned about their 2024 BMW Z4. The model is considered confusing and also complicated as the pandemics affected the model so much. According to some sources, the model isn’t able to meet the intended sales targets, which actually concerns the company because it always means that they need to discontinue it. However, what the Beemer does is against all the expectations. They stated that they will start new development and improvement for the Z4, planning to release it on the global platform in 2024. They are quite hopeful that sales would increase and become better in the future.
The Updated Plan
It turns out that the lousy (and low) sales figures of the Z4 weren’t really because of the pandemic. Some auto experts and enthusiasts agreed that the Z4 wasn’t as good as the company thought. The Z4 wasn’t as dynamically good as thought. Plus, the vehicle had less than strong chassis. It means that Beemer is seriously thinking about improving the performance and quality.
Powertrain and Performance
The Z4 has always been running on a four cylinder turbocharged unit with 2.0 liters capacity that is able to generate 195 hp and 320 Nm of torque. Will the new 2024 BMW Z4 still be running on the same unit? It’s unknown. Will there be a new powertrain arrangement? Again, it’s still unknown. In fact, there is no solid information about how the company is going to improve the performance of the vehicle.
The Z4 M40i
In the mean time, the M40i from Z4 lineup is said to be undergoing a manufacturing process. However, the company decides to put an end to the auto version and focuses on the manual version. In fact, the company believes that the Z4 M40i would be produced with manual transmission starting from 2024.
Ever since this flagship vehicle was launched in 2018, this model has been exclusively offered with auto 8 speed transmission, whose system is shared with the Toyota Supra. However, the company seems to have a change of heart and they view manual transmission as the most ideal pick. The company has even made a plan to start producing the manual model.
The M40i Design
The design may experience a minor update, following the traditional (and regular) schedules that would update the model within its 4 year plan. Both new Toyota Supra and BMW Z4 M40i would be running on six cylinder turbocharged unit with 3.0 liter capacity that can generate 285 kW and 500 Nm of torque.
Q and A
Q: To which markets would the Z4 be offered, including the M40i?
A: One of the main markets would be the North America, and then Australia and Europe
Q: When will the new Z4 be offered for the public?
A: If everything goes as planned, the launch date may take place in 2023. Or if it’s the latest, it may come out at the beginning of 2024. Information is still limited and shady, so we would wait for further updates for 2024 BMW Z4.
