BMW Z4 M40i: what you need to know

Well-argued answers to the most asked questions about this model, based on Caralogy data and simulations.

Where does the Z4 M40i rank in its segment?

Among the 45 S 2016–2020, the Z4 M40i ranks 43th of 45 in 0–100 km/h (4.5 s, behind the Nissan GT-R 570 R35), 45th of 45 in Top speed (250 km/h, behind the Lamborghini Aventador SVJ), 45th of 45 in Power-to-weight (221 hp/t, behind the Ferrari 812 Superfast).

How much does the Z4 M40i cost to run?

Running costs depend on your profile (mileage, charging type, city/highway mix). Use the Caralogy consumption simulator for a personalised estimate.

Why not a Nissan GT-R 570 R35 instead?

The Nissan GT-R 570 R35 leads in 0–100 km/h (2.7 s vs 4.5 s). The choice depends on your priorities: check the Z4 M40i vs Nissan GT-R 570 R35 duel for a detailed comparison.

How does Caralogy calculate its figures?

Caralogy does not reproduce manufacturer figures: we recalculate every number through physics simulation, starting from SCx, mass and the power curve. This is why our figures at 130 km/h differ from WLTP. Full methodology on the dedicated page.
