BMW India has introduced the Z4 M40i Pure Impulse Edition, a limited-run roadster that blends retro-inspired driving engagement with modern tech and design. This new edition arrives as a CBU (Completely Built-Up unit), promising exclusivity and performance for enthusiasts who crave open-top thrills with a touch of class.
Colours
The Pure Impulse Edition debuts with two fresh metallic colour options: Frozen Deep Green and Sanremo Green. These unique shades not only turn heads but also enhance the premium appeal of this already-stylish roadster.
Design
On the outside, the Z4 M40i Pure Impulse Edition gets a few design tweaks to set it apart:
- BMW Kidney grille with horizontal inner structure
- Large air vents
- Vertically aligned LED headlights
- Sleek soft top that opens or closes in just 10 seconds
- Subtle rear spoiler

The addition of a manual transmission in this edition marks a first for the range-topping Z4 variant, appealing directly to purists who love the old-school feel of a stick shift.

Performance
At its heart is a 3.0-litre inline-six engine producing 335.34 bhp and 500 Nm of torque, available from 1,600 to 4,500 rpm. It’s quick too — with the manual version hitting 0 to 100 kmph in 4.6 seconds, and the automatic (Steptronic Sport Transmission) shaving it down to 4.5 seconds.
Buyers can pick between a 6-speed manual gearbox or an 8-speed automatic, depending on their preference for control or convenience.
| Variant | Power | Torque | 0-100 kmph | Transmission |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Manual | 335.34 bhp | 500 Nm | 4.6 sec | 6-speed manual |
| Automatic | 335.34 bhp | 500 Nm | 4.5 sec | 8-speed auto |
Both variants come equipped with M Sport brakes, M Sport differential, and selectable driving modes: EcoPro, Comfort, and Sport.
