As BMW’s Motorsport Division began to get a bit of flack from traditional M drivers, who felt that the latest generation M cars (back in 2005) were becoming too safe, too controlled, with their surfeit of driver aids and creature comforts, the decision was made to prove a point by producing this no holds barred, raw two-seater monster. Transplanting the world beating 3.2 straight six S54 from the current M3, this time BMW were able to squeeze the full potential from the engine and by mating it with a tauter, lighter more focused chassis produced a car that would silence all their critics.
Ultimately BMW chose to make only just over a 1,000 of these little gems. Munich’s pocket rocket is certainly no frills, but still retains a high level of comfort and a good spec, despite having a one eye on weight. This car has only covered 54,050 miles throughout its lifetime and has been well looked after by all of its (six) previous keepers. The service schedule has been respected and carried out exactly in accordance with manufacturer’s guidelines. The Munich Legends technical team have given the car a thorough appraisal and a clean bill of health.
Prices for Z4M coupes have risen steadily and the low number produced coupled with the timeless design and back to basics characteristics make for both great investment potential and a hugely pleasurable ownership experience.
