Introduction

This is really a four-car test.

We drove the new BMW Z4 sDrive 23i manual and 35i DCT auto.

But since the new BMW Z4 has an electric folding hard top it's a replacement of both the previous Z4 roadster and sadly also of the sensational looking Z4 coupe I tested back in 2006. So each new Z4 is two cars in one.
