Z4 Coupe
Drove behind a 3.0 Z4 coupe on the M4 yesterday (in my 1.3 clio ops: ) and did find the back end rather pleasing to look at. When I got home later that day a Z4 MCoupe drove past me. It looked just the same as the 3.0 except for four tailpipes sticking out the back. How disapointing :?
It is a nice car, but the M version is too similar to the ordinary version.From Z3 MC to Z4 MC... glad to be back

There is a rumour doing the rounds that the Z4M production will stop at year end. Something to do with sales being rather flat, BMW not keen on continuing to produce the S54 for just one model etc... Which I suppose could be a good thing for owners... As with regards to the Z3M being rare - that's true but only in the UK - try Europe where you have the 2.8, the 3.0 and the M versions of the breadvan...Imola Red BMW Z4M Coupe - daily hack
Slate Gray Porsche 928GTR - race car
Guards Red Porsche 928S2 - sunday best
Oxford Green BMW E39 540iA Touring - daily hack

When I first saw the Z3MC my first thought and words about it where 'I'm going to have one of those', the only other car I considered in the same way was the 8 Series. I had the choice of an 8 or the MC when I bought mine. 8)
If the choice had been Z4MC or 8 Series the 8 would be sat in the garage now.
I'd still like to put an 8 at the side of the MC, but my other half will only let me have one weekend toy and the MC is it :)
My first sighting of a 3MC was outside a BMW dealer in London , i did a double take and even turned round at the next roundabout to get another look. It looked out of this world. I have craved one ever since. (it did help that it was in black ;) ). No other car has ever come close to this however i did contemplate going for an 850 as it took me nearly a year to find the "right" BLACK MC.
PS, i think "one last look" as your walking away is part and parcel of MC ownership........isn't it??EX: S50 Black with Kyalami Orange/Black Leather. Becker Bluetooth/Ipod HU.
Now: S50 Black/Black with Ap Racing brakes and Race logic

I agree with David 1975 on the one last look as you walk away, did ask if anyone had been lucky enough to trade up to the Z4 M on another thread and it seemed to get quite a frosty reception. I love e types and couple of friends have commented thats what the MC reminds them of the jag. Could be persuaded to swap it for a TVR Sagaris, I think they look stunning.

Sales are apparently very poor for the UK (at least in the UK) as you can now buy a brand new Z4 M Coupe through BroadSpeed for ~£33k (>£8k discount).
That's one of the biggest discounts I've seen on any new model car, let alone a sports car.Happiness isn't around the corner, it IS the corner.

I love the look of the Z4 version, but it doesn't have the same character as the original IMO. Also, I've only seen one M version, but quite a few of the normal ones.
As for the market, it was always going to be niche as its only a 2 seater. Like the original, I can see it being 3 years or so until they find their price and the used market steadies for them.
The hit on values isn't strange though, the same thing happened with the Z3M.
Would love to drive one to see how it compares to the Z3M though.
