Z8 T 2.2 Diesel MT 4WD costs ₹4,83,750 more than Z4 2.2 Diesel MT 4WD and brings 25 features we value at ₹4,63,125, roughly 95% of the price difference. Reasonable if you specifically want what it adds; not a bargain. The engine changes too: +43 bhp / +70 Nm, from 130 bhp / 300 Nm to 173 bhp / 370 Nm.

We price the equipment that separates these two trims. The rest of the difference pays for things we don't itemise — materials, fit and finish, and the manufacturer's own margin. An upgrade that clears 100% is one where the equipment alone is worth what it costs.

Values are our own estimates of what each feature is worth on this segment of car, not manufacturer pricing. We only price equipment that differs between trims, so this column will not add up to the full price gap — the rest pays for materials, fit and finish, and margin.
