Product Overview

BMW Z4 M E86 is a subcompact sports car in production from 2006 to 2008. It was powered by a single S54 inline-6 engine that displaced 3.2 liters paired to a 6-speed manual transmission.
A higher-output variant of the E86 Z4 Coupe, the Z4 M Coupe has more power and less sound deadening (even though the standard Z4 Coupe is already "economizing" in this aspect).
Owners will likely appreciate the relatively robust engine that is perfectly balanced while being rather simple to work on. Utility-minded owners will have to keep in mind that the 340L (12cu-ft) cargo space may not be sufficient.
