2016 BMW Z4 UNBOXING Review - A Proper Porsche 718 Boxster Fighter?

Today we bring you the 2016 BMW Z4 unboxing review, and it'll probably be one of the last reviews of this car. Ever. How come? Because Z4 production has already ended. But no worries, there will be a Z5 successor, although not right away. In the meantime, we wanted to get a better look at the Z4 in order to see whether or not BMW managed to make it a Porsche 718 Boxster competitor. The quick and short answer: no. However, the Z4 is more of a Mercedes SLC fighter, and that's not at all a bad thing. Power comes courtesy of twin-turbo 3.0-liter inline-six with 300 hp and 300 lb-ft of torque.

Our tester was the mid-level sDrive35i, meaning the base Z4 engine is a 2.0-liter inline-four with 240 ponies and 260 lb-ft of twist. Suggestion: go for the inline-six. Performance is also decent, with a 0-60 mph time of 5 seconds and an electronically controlled top speed of 155 mph. Unlike the first generation Z4, this outgoing second-gen features a folding hard top setup, which is fine only that it adds weight. Our car also came with the optional M Sport Package and Estoril Blue Metallic exterior paint. So, is the 2016 Z4 a good BMW roadster? Is it a proper "Ultimate Driving Machine"? Check out the review to find out!
