After delaying the inevitable for 3 years, BMW has finally given the automotive world what they wanted: an M version of their hot little roadster. The recipe calls for the addition of the existing M3 coupe's fantastic 3.2L inline 6-cylinder. Output is unchanged at 343 hp and 269 lb/ft of torque.
The transmission receives a quick once-over and gets a shorter final drive. This, combined with the Z4's lower weight, guarantees mind blowing acceleration and excellent handling. Brakes are borrowed from the CSL track-ready version of the M3.
Exterior give-aways are the quad tailpipes and the lovely oversized M-style wheels.
It should be available in US dealerships next spring.
