Gone are the days when flashy convertibles were a sign of a mid-life crisis; nowadays, roadsters belong to a segment that requires you to take them just a little more seriously. While some drop-top icons like the Mercedes-Benz SLC didn't survive the SUV and crossover onslaught, BMW has freshened up the Z4 for 2023 with new looks and added equipment. The Z4 remains the highest-selling model in a segment populated by fellow Germans, but twenty years after it was first introduced, is it still relevant?
Ingredients for leading the class here are simple: good looks, drop-top relaxation, and driving pleasure. The latter requirement speaks to a few things, though, taking performance, driving style, and mechanics into account. Has BMW managed to keep the Z4 good enough to return for a second helping, or is one serving enough?
When Is The BMW Z4 Coming Out?
According to the manufacturer, the 2023 BMW Z4 release date is scheduled for the end of 2022, with the roadster coming to worldwide markets in November.
BMW Z4 Price And Competition
The base price for the 2023 Z4 starts at $52,800 for the sDrive30i model. For the M40i version, the starting cost goes up to $65,300. These prices are MSRP and exclude the $995 destination fees.
The only BMW Z4 rivals left in the ring these days include the Porsche 718 Boxster and Audi's TT Roadster. The Boxster starts at $65,500 in 300-horsepower base guise, while the Boxster T asks for almost $10k over and above that. The Boxster S sits near the top of the pile with a $77,500 starting price. Even in base spec, the Boxster has more power and gets to 60 mph 0.3 seconds quicker. For over $90k, you can have a 394-hp monster that cuts the dash to 4.3 seconds in GTS spec. Closer in price and specs, the one-model Audi TT has less power yet still costs more than $55k.

For anyone still yearning for one of the quirky sedan/coupe/hatchback mashups, time is running short.
BMW noted in its full-range 2020 model year update last week that the 3 Series GT and 6 Series GT will not return.
The end of the 6 Series variants comes as no surprise as the 8 Series takes over flagship duties.
The German automaker telegraphed its intentions this past March when it noted the 3 Series GT would not receive a replacement.
Looking at the company's breadwinner models, the X3, X4, X5 and X6 are all slated to enter production this month before they start trickling into dealers across the US.
Each also costs at least $500 more than the 2019 model each replaces.
