BMW Z4 E86 Sports Car (2006-2008)
Product Gallery
Product Overview
BMW Z4 E86 Coupe is a subcompact sports car in production from 2006 to 2008. It was available with only one naturally-aspirated inline-6 engine that displaced 3.0 liters paired to a 6-speed manual transmission.
One of the most driver-focused non-M vehicles from BMW of the era, the E86 Z4 Coupe uses the final iteration of BMW's naturally-aspirated, port-injected I6 engine, the N52. In the B30 guise, it has proven to be the last reliable engine from Bavaria.
Utility-minded owners will have to keep in mind that the 340L (12cu-ft) cargo space may not be sufficient.
Drivers who appreciate handling should keep in mind that the BMW Z4 Coupe uses MacPherson front suspension, which doesn't provide the best cornering performance.
