BMW Z4
BMW’s little roadster gets a few cosmetic revisions for 2023. It continues to shine where handling and performance are concerned, yet many customers prefer the Porsche 718 Boxster, likely due to a lack of customization options. The standard turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine produces 255 horsepower, while the optional turbocharged 3.0-litre six-cylinder serves up 382 horsepower. The same engines can be found in the Toyota GR Supra, in case you forgot.
