It will not have a successor but it does have a new opportunity to captivate roadster lovers. The BMW Z4 Facelift 2023 has been caught completely wrapped in camouflage, near the headquarters of the firm in Munich. Slight changes that will give it a fresher air, although it will not change excessively and with new features also in terms of engines.
Three generations of BMW Z4 and there will be no more. The Munich brand has hung the cross on the roadster that will disappear at the end of the commercial cycle, although before that it will have a new opportunity for roadster lovers to fall in love with the new image it will offer in the middle of next year 2023as evidenced by these spy photos of the model that has just been hunted.
The BMW Z4 Facelift 2023 has appeared in one of the avenues near the brand’s development center in Munich, curiously accompanied by the first generation of the model that received the trade name of BMW Z3, and one of the most successful in history, plus the two-seater convertible that the flashy coupe. pictures show a fully camouflaged prototypealthough it will not really change as much as the brand would have us think of this Z4 M40i.

Its details give it away, such as the red brake calipers or the exhaust trims. The closed ovoid grill with the panel dotted with horizontal chrome inserts typical of the “M Performance” seal, and that is visible behind the metal mesh that covers it, since it will present slight differences in shape. The headlights maintain their design, but it is the bumper the one that presents the novelties of greater depth, with new air intakes on the sides and a central review that will draw more attention.
Changes to the rear will be minimal. The spy photos do not allow you to take a look inside, although we already anticipate that this Z4 Roadster it will not have the large curved screen that occupies the dashboard of the new models, although it will have improvements in materials and in the “iDrive” infotainment system. However, there is a very curious fact about this prototype. Being the sportiest version of the range, one of the options that are gaining more weight every time is that there is an important change at the mechanical level, of which the German brand keeps a secret.
And it is that this version adopts the desired Manual gearbox with six gears as has its twin brother, the Toyota GR Supra. The Japanese already has the manual transmission, curiously in combination with the gasoline engine of 3.0-litre TwinPower Turbo six-cylinder with a maximum output of 340 hp, the same engine on board this Z4. A gearbox that was developed especially for the two models, despite the fact that the Japanese was the first to include it as an option that, by no means, should we rule out testing on the roadster.
