Puts a smile on my face every time I drive it, and evokes more emotional attachment than anything I've ever owned. It really is a gem.
Gearbox? Gearbox is fine once with a few small mods (CDV delete, etc.) and learn the secret 1st to 2nd gear handshake (not kidding about that). |

Z4 M Coupe
Last Call
I have an Interlagos blue Z4 M Coupe I have put a deposit on in SoCal pending inspection. However, I am still looking until the purchase is confirmed(likely Monday 10/16/17). So, if you know of one or have one you want to sell I have cash in hand. Finder's fee of 400.00 for connecting me with a car I buy. Must be less than 50,000 miles. My limit is $33K. Please text me rather than post. Thanks! Carl text 808-747-0138 |

100% agree. But even the 3.0si Coupe is a wonderful car in its own right and less expensive to maintain with probably 90% of the street capability of the M. If you can't find a decent Z4 M Coupe, the non-M version is a good second choice.
My 2 cents.

Don't believe anything you hear in these videos about the Z4M being a great car. The Z4M Roadster is horrible, and the Z4M Coupe is even worse. The S54 engine is a dog. Buy a Porsche, instead. These things should only be worth $15K tops with low mileage. They suck so bad.
(Or maybe I just don't want the prices to increase, so I can add a coupe to my collection) Salty

But yea it's a great car and I was the proud owner of one for about a year and a half. But as mentioned in the video, the ride is punishing for a daily driver and also at 6'1" I just couldn't do it anymore. |

You would have to pry the keys out of my dead hands before I would sell mine, but if I could only have a dollar for every person who has asked.
Cannot wait till mine is back from a fresh engine rebuild. |

My Z4M is saving me a TON of money. It's so fantastic, and I love it so, I'm not spending money on any other cars as long as this thing stays in good shape. I've test driven a lot of fine automobiles in the past couple months, and not a single one of them has even tempted me in the slightest to give up my Z4M. I have a feeling it's a car I might have forever, and then just add another car one day if I ever want more than one car.
I simply cannot recommend the car enough to anyone who is interested in one. |

The 3.0 si is a great option, probably the smart money play vs the ///M truth be told.

Coupe's pretty sick, they should've just modernized it (I would've upscaled the dashbrd controls, smoothed out the rear edges, but pretty much keep the rest as-is) instead of spawning the E89, but, hey, I could've done a lot worse.

Loved my mCoupe, will probably own one again, but the gearbox was not the best. Had mine replaced at the 1200 mile break in.
Great video!
