Z4M Roadster & Coupe: Pictures & thoughts
First of all, I have admit that I am a bit of a Z4M fanatic, having owned three in the past. I owned a white M coupe from 2009~2016, this current M roadster from 2018 and another white M coupe from 2021. I loved how these cars drive, their great engines, analog M feel and wanted to have both the coupe and roadster.
The roadster was a Norcal, San Jose car for 10 years of its life until I bought it from Mountain View and brought it down here to Socal in 2018. Similarly, the coupe has also been a California car all its life, but it spent 10 years down in Socal car until I ended up buying it from a gentlemen in Mountain View. Funny how things end up working as I picked up both cars from the San Jose area. I have always compared the Z4M coupe and roadster as the poor-mans, affordable Porsche GT3 and speedster or the GT4 and Spyder. The coupe and roadster does drive quite differently and have different characteristics. The coupe is stiffer & sharper while the roadster is more compliant and exhilarating from the open top. Either way, both cars have fantastic hydraulic steering, 6 speed shifter and perhaps the best inline 6 motor ever made, the S54. The motor really likes to rev and provides a mechanical howl from the individual throttle bodies which exudes a charm that new cars just do not have anymore. I have now owned the Z4M roadster for almost 3 years and the M coupe for half a year. Having both cars for half a year now, I realized I have only driven a couple thousand miles on them so I felt that it was time to pair down. That being said, the roadster is for sale and listed in the classified. At this point in my life, I feel that I need more assets + house + income to justify keeping or collecting extra cars. Here is some photos of the Z4M roadster and Z4M coupe together from earlier this year.
