The 2020 BMW Z4: before you buy
No 2020 BMW Z4 is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. Buying the 2020 BMW Z4 is a big decision; here is the information we have.
What to check on the Z4
Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent.
What the specs mean
The engine is the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo, with rear-wheel drive and an 8-speed automatic. The turbo gives a small engine the pull of a bigger one when you need it. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
Its combined rating is 8.6 L/100 km, which means roughly 26 litres for 300 km. A 300 km round trip costs roughly $45.15 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,050 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Who the Z4 suits
It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.
Practical details
As a two-seat sports car, it puts the driving first and the luggage second.
Try before you buy
If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel.
Picking a year and a trim
Within the 2020 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
Running costs
Premium gas adds to the running cost compared with a car on regular. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $150.50 at our price setting.
Get an offer
Tell us the car you are considering, and we will help where we can.
Rent it for a week before you buy
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a 2020 BMW Z4 from us first.

Can I rent a 2020 BMW Z4 before I buy one?
Yes. Request it for a week (or longer, up to 365 days) and drive it as your own; nothing is charged until we confirm and you approve.
Does the 2020 BMW Z4 have recalls?
NHTSA lists 6 recall campaigns for it, in the table on this page. Ask for proof each was fixed.
What does the 2020 BMW Z4 cost in fuel a year?
EPA puts it at US$3,050 a year for 15,000 miles at its fuel prices; at our price setting, 20,000 km cost about $3010.00.
Where do the figures come from?
Fuel use and fuel cost from the US EPA (fueleconomy.gov), dimensions and weight from NHTSA vPIC Canadian specifications, recalls and complaints from NHTSA. We leave out any figure no free source publishes.
