The 2008 BMW Z4 M arrives as a convertible roadster which can handle a removable
hardtop or stylish soft top, and as a two-door coupe. They both are powered by a
3.2L 330hp inline six-cylinder engine which develops 362 ft lb torque @ 4900
rpm. There is no room for doubt that this BMW is a down and dirty road racer
with its rear-wheel drive and 6-speed manual transmission.
With an MSRP of $52,100 for the roadster and $50,100 for the coupe, the Z4 M is
not for the penny-pincher. About the only respectable quality about this
automobile is its fuel economy, which for both the roadster and the coupe is
16mpg city and 24mpg highway. In as much as the Z4 M is a luxury sports car,
great thought and effort has gone into comfort as well as performance. For
example, the M Sport Seats are specially designed to support you laterally to
handle high G forces with robust side bolstering and ergonomic lumbar support.
Bristling with practical technological features, the 2008 Z4 M knows how to get
you where you need to go with an optional navigation system that has it all:
GPS, a DVD map, and Real Time Traffic Information (RTTI), when procurable.
George Lucas created THX for the certification of superior movie presentation.
The audio system in the Z4 M has been certified by THX and uses Carver
Technology hi-end sub-woofers and amplifiers.
If anything was more important than maximizing the performance of the 2008 BMW
Z4 M, it is ensuring the safety of its occupants. To accomplish this, BMW
utilizes a Rollover Safety System which incorporates two reinforced tubular
steel roll bars into the roadster's twin headrests. The A-pillars are also
strengthened with tubular steel reinforcements secured to the chassis. Keeping
you out of trouble is another trait that the Z4 M does very well with its
Dynamic Stability Control. When sudden defensive maneuvers cause the car to lose
traction, the Z4 M takes immediate action to restore control. You have every
reason to look forward to the morning commute when you drive it in a BMW Z4 M.
