There is also a normally aspirated 3.0-litre version, as well as a smaller capacity 2.5-litre version to round out the range. The range begins with the BMW Z4 sDrive23i, priced from $86,200, the BMW Z4 sDrive30i priced from $98,100, and the range topping BMW Z4 sDrive35i, which will retail at a hefty $116,900.
