2022 BMW Z4 Roadster Interior and Cargo

On the entry-level Z4, the seats and dashboard are covered in classy black SensaTec upholstery, and there are high-gloss black trim inlays. The sporty three-spoke steering wheel is leather-wrapped. Vernasca leather upholstery is optionally available in colors like Black, Magma Red, Ivory White, Black Alcantara Black with Blue contrast stitching, and Cognac. This upgrade will cost at least $2,450 as it's bundled together with the Convenience Package and Park Distance Control. The Black Alcantara Black upgrade adds a total of $3,000 to the price as it requires the M Sport package, too. Aluminum Tetragon or a mesh-effect Aluminum are two additional trim options, but the former requires the M Sport Package.

Upgrading to Vernasca leather on the M40i costs between $1,500 and $1,700, while this derivative has Aluminum Tetragon inlays equipped by default.

At 9.9 cubic feet, the BMW Z4's trunk is decent, considering that this is a compact roadster, and cargo capacity isn't affected by whether the soft-top roof is up or down. One larger suitcase or a few smaller carry-ons will be able to fit in there.

In the cabin, the glovebox is on the small side, so not much more than two wallets and some other odds and ends can fit in there. The two cupholders are positioned beneath the center armrest, which makes accessing them on the move a bit awkward. Around these cupholders, there is a little more space for tiny items, and there are door bins, too.

On the sDrive30i at its most affordable base price, the Z4 is equipped with power-adjustable sport seats which include a memory system for the driver. Additional features include dual-zone automatic climate control, a power-operated soft-top roof, push-button ignition, power-folding and heated side mirrors, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, rain-sensing windshield wipers, a rearview camera, a universal garage door opener, and safety features such as forward collision warning, dynamic cruise control, and tire-pressure monitoring. On the M40i, there are 14-way power-adjustable front seats with three-stage heating, along with a heated steering wheel. There are plenty of options, ranging from a head-up display to remote engine start, active blind-spot detection, lane-departure warning, park-distance control, and active cruise control. Ambient lighting is no longer standard and has been relegated to the options list.

10.25信息显示在两个数字displays: one ahead of the driver, which forms part of BMW's Live Cockpit Professional, and a central touchscreen through which iDrive 7.0 software can be accessed. Although the digital dials aren't as configurable as those in an Audi, they certainly do modernize the Z4's cabin. iDrive requires a bit of a learning curve, but we do like that it can still be manipulated via hard keys and a console-mounted rotary dial. Standard connectivity and entertainment features include navigation, Bluetooth, two USB ports, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, real-time traffic information via BMW's Connected Package Professional, natural language recognition, and SiriusXM with 360L and a one-year all-access subscription. The sound system is a 205-watt, ten-speaker unit that includes dual bass speakers mounted behind the seats. A Wi-Fi hotspot with a three-month/3GB trial, and a 12-speaker Harman Kardon sound system are available. Wireless charging is no longer available at all, even as an option.
