Top-down thrills built for two

Drive a Z4

The Z4 is a two-seat, soft-top roadster that turns everyday miles into an open-air event. Book one on Turo and pick the year, trim, and transmission that fit your plans.

Of every BMW car rental you can book, the Z4 is the one built for top-down weekends. A BMW Z4 car rental gives you rear-wheel drive, near 50/50 weight distribution, and a power top that folds in about 10 seconds.

On Turo, you book your Z4 from a local vehicle owner and arrange pickup and drop-off that fit your plans. Choose four cylinders or six, automatic or manual (where listed), and the drive is yours.

Turbocharged power, front and center

The Z4 comes with two turbocharged engines, and both make quick work of an on-ramp. The sDrive30i pairs a 2.0L turbo four-cylinder with 255 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque. Step up to the M40i, and its 3.0L turbo inline-six makes 382 hp and 369 lb-ft, hitting 0–60 mph in 3.9 seconds with the automatic.

A soft top that moves fast

The Z4's power soft top folds in about 10 seconds, and you can operate it at speeds up to 31 mph. A surprise sprinkle or a burst of sunshine doesn't have to wait for a parking spot — open or close the roof while you creep through traffic.

That speed window makes the top easy to use on real-world drives. Raise it for a long stretch of highway, then drop it again at the next stoplight once the coast comes into view. You get the open-air feel of a classic roadster with the convenience of a single switch (no wrestling with fabric required).

Balanced, rear-wheel-drive handling

The Z4 sends its power to the rear wheels and carries its weight with near 50/50 balance front to rear. That pairing gives you a roadster that feels composed and responsive when the road starts to bend.

The eight-speed automatic comes with paddle shifters. Let it handle gear changes in city traffic, then take over when a canyon road calls. Tap down a gear before a curve, ease into the throttle on the way out, and you'll feel exactly what all that balance is for. It's the kind of car that rewards a smooth, confident driver — and makes the long way home the obvious choice.

Stand out with a Z4

The Z4 is a top pick for couples, coastal drives, weekend getaways, and special occasions. Two seats and an open roof turn an anniversary dinner, a birthday surprise, or a sunset cruise into a memory. If you're browsing convertible car rental options, the Z4 delivers a sporty take built around you and one lucky passenger.

Top Z4 features

decorative separator

Room for the weekend bags

The Z4's standout features come down to smart cargo space, a rare transmission choice, and a sporty stance. Here's what each one means for your trip.

The Z4 gives you 9.9 cu ft of trunk space, which is generous for a two-seat roadster. That's room for a weekend for two — think soft duffels, a camera bag, and a jacket for when the sun goes down.

Packing smart makes the most of it. Soft bags tuck into corners more easily than hard-shell suitcases, and there's no back seat to catch the overflow. Plan around one soft bag each, and a short getaway stays simple to pack and easy to unload at the hotel.

A rare manual option

The M40i is available with a six-speed manual, a rare find in a modern roadster. Pairing three pedals with a turbocharged inline-six puts you fully in charge of every shift. It's an old-school connection between you, the engine, and the road.

Availability depends on the listing, so check the details before you book if a stick shift is on your wish list. Prefer to keep both hands on the wheel? The eight-speed automatic with paddle shifters gives you plenty of control without the clutch. Either way, you get to choose the exact Z4 experience you want.

Sporty, staggered stance

The sDrive30i rolls on 18-inch wheels, while six-cylinder trims step up to staggered 19- and 20-inch wheels. Those trims also add Shadowline trim, so the six-cylinder Z4 looks as quick as it drives.

There's another reason to grab the keys now. The 2026 model year is the final production year of the third-generation (G29) Z4. That means you get to drive the last of a generation while it's still fresh. For enthusiasts, that makes a Z4 trip feel like a little piece of BMW roadster history — one you can enjoy with the top down.

Top tips and things to know before renting a Z4

Get to know your Z4

A little prep goes a long way with a Z4 — check the trim, pack light, and know what shapes the price. Here's what to keep in mind.

Z4 listings on Turo vary by year and trim, so read the details before you book. The sDrive30i uses the turbo four-cylinder, while the M40i gets the turbo inline-six. Check whether your listing has the automatic or the manual, too.

Remember that the Z4 seats only two, so plan a separate ride for anyone else in your group. Ready to find one? Browse BMW rentals in Los Angeles, BMW rentals in Miami, and BMW rentals in Las Vegas to start your search.

Z4 driving tips

A few simple habits help you get the most from your Z4 trip:

Book early to lock in the year, trim, and transmission you want.

Pack soft bags, which fit the 9.9 cu ft trunk more easily than hard-shell luggage.

Operate the soft top only within its speed range of up to 31 mph.

Fill up with premium unleaded fuel.

Book a manual only if you're experienced driving stick, per Turo's prohibited-uses policy.

How much does it cost to rent a Z4?

  1. * Any personal insurance you may have that covers damage to the host’s vehicle would kick in before your protection plan, except in limited situations for trips booked in Maryland, but this protects your own wallet. In the US, liability insurance is provided under a policy issued to Turo by Travelers Excess and Surplus Lines Company. Terms, conditions, and exclusions apply. The policy does not provide coverage for damage to a host’s vehicle.

  2. For questions or information about the third party liability insurance for trips in the US, consumers in Maryland and the licensed states listed here may contact Turo Insurance Agency at (415) 508-0283 or claims@turo.agency. For questions about how damage to a host’s vehicle is handled, visit the Turo Support site. When a trip is booked in the state of Washington, physical damage to the host’s vehicle is covered by insurance purchased by Turo, but the Turo insurance does not change the contractual responsibilities of hosts or guests with respect to physical damage to a host’s vehicle.
