BMW will update its Z4 roadster with a series of subtle exterior and interior refinements for the 2014 model year. The update keeps the Z4's sweeping hood, long wheelbase, and low-slung rear end. The folding hardtop stays as well.
So what changes? Well, there are a few new colors including gray metallic, silver metallic and a striking color called Valencia orange metallic. That last can only be had if you opt for the Hyper Orange package, which also includes orange door-panel trim and orange on the lower part of instrument panel. The black leather seats have orange stitching and an orange accent stripe.
The Hyper Orange package replaces the previously available Citrus Yellow package. Also new inside are glossy black surrounds for the air vents and the iDrive control system's folding display.
Engine choices remain the same, with one turbo four-cylinder and two turbocharged inline-sixes. The four develops 240 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque. The 3.0-liter inline-six produces 300 hp and 300 lb-ft of torque, while the top-of-the-line six develops 335 hp and 332 lb-ft of torque.
The comfort, sport and sport-plus modes, which adjust the stability system, gearbox and suspension, remain as well.
The 2014 BMW Z4 roadster will be shown first at the upcoming Detroit auto show and will arrive in U.S. showrooms next spring.
