We caught a glimpse of the refreshed BMW Z4 this summer and now the roadster is ready to make its full and official debut. Bringing a refreshed exterior, new customization options and more standard equipment, the 2023 Z4 is coming online ahead of going on sale in the US in November this year. We’ll get to the pricing details in a minute, but first let’s see what the Z4’s LCI brings to the table.
LCI stands for Life Cycle Impulse, which is what BMW calls its facelifts. For the Z4, the visual appearance of the mid-cycle refresh comes in the form of a revised M Sport package, which is now standard for the Z4 sDrive30i version. The kit comes with new three-section air intakes in the front bumper, as seen in other recent BMW M models.

Similar touches can be seen at the rear, while to the side new, more streamlined side sills are present. The side air intakes also feature a new design, while a set of optional 19-inch M wheels designed exclusively for the roadster complete the visual changes.
New exterior colors are also introduced including Thundernight Metallic, Portimao Blue Metallic and Skyscraper Gray Metallic for the first time. M Shadowline lights make their debut for the 2023 model year, which are offered as an option for the optional adaptive LED headlights.
Inside the cabin, the new standard M Sport package for the Z4 sDrive30i includes sports seats, an M leather steering wheel, M pedals and footrest, and a leather-covered dashboard SensaTec.
The engine lineup remains unchanged and includes a base, US-only sDrive30i model with a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine rated at 255 horsepower (190 kilowatts) and 295 pound-feet (400 Newton-meters) of torque, sent exclusively to the rear wheels. The top model continues to be the Z4 M40i with 382 hp (285 kW) 369 lb-ft (500 Nm) coming from a 3.0-liter straight-six engine.
There have been rumors of a potential six-speed manual transmission for the US market, although, at least for now, the roadster is sticking with its eight-speed automatic for both engine options.
Despite reports that BMW may kill off the Z4 after 2025 due to relatively low sales, the Bavarian brand says it is happy with the 55,000 examples of the roadster it has delivered since its market launch in 2020.
