BMW Z Models
The BMW Z models are a line of roadsters manufactured by German automaker BMW. The Z stands for Zukunft (German for future), and has been produced in four different series with six generations consisting of roadster, coupé, sports car, and concept variants. The introduction of the M Coupé and M Roadster in the Z3 line marked the first of the Z series to have a high-performance BMW M variant. The first generation Z4 also continued to offer M Coupé and M Roadster variants. The G29 Z4 uses BMW's (B58B30) inline-six, and its platform is the basis for the J29 Toyota Supra. BMW ended production of the Z4 in March 2026.
