New 2014 BMW Z4: What’s Under the Hood
The biggest change made to the 2014 BMW Z4 won't be available to U.S. buyers: the addition of the sDrive18i trim level's 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine putting out 156 horsepower and 177 lb-ft of torque. In America, the Z4 soldiers on with the same solid lineup of drivetrains that were available the year before, including a 240 horse version of that same 2.0-liter turbo, a 300 horsepower, 3.0-liter six-cylinder turbo, and a 335 horsepower, 3.0-liter six-cylinder turbo. A six-speed manual transmission is still offered with the Z4, alongside both an eight-speed automatic and a seven-speed dual-clutch automated manual.
