What it's like

Driving the BMW Z4 M40i here

A proper roadster — turbo straight-six, rear-wheel drive and a quick-folding soft top. Made for golden-hour runs and breezy KL nights.

In Malaysian terms: it seats 2, it has 2 doors, and the gearbox is 8-speed auto, so there is no clutch pedal to think about while you are also adapting to driving on the left. It runs on RON97, the yellow pump, which is available everywhere and costs a fraction of what you pay at home. Every rental leaves us with a full tank and a loaded Touch 'n Go card in the holder.

It handles Malaysian roads without drama: enough ride height for the speed bumps, enough boot for real luggage, and composed on a wet afternoon.

Power: 382 bhp
0–100 km/h: 4.5s

Where to take it

Best drives for the BMW Z4 M40i

These are the routes we'd point you at with this car specifically, and why.

Take the roof off. The expressway down is quick and dull, but the coastal road back through Port Dickson is flat, open, low-speed and runs beside the Straits of Melaka for forty-odd kilometres. A convertible turns the boring half into the point of the trip.
