BMW Z4 (G29)

Third generation, 2019 model year onward The most polished two-seat soft top for daily use. The fabric roof opens or closes in about ten seconds, even on the move at up to 31 mph, so a change of plan at a red light costs nothing. Its 281-liter trunk, roughly 10 cubic feet, is more than twice a Miata's, and the six-cylinder M40i cruises with very little effort. BMW ended Z4 production in 2026, sending it off with a 382-horsepower Final Edition, so this is now a car to find in remaining stock or on the used market, where it makes a comfortable, well-equipped alternative to a Boxster.
