Default BMW M series Z4 a go






Basically the car will be here by years end with a facelift and the 333hp I-6 from the M3. This car at first was not to happen b/c of very low volume. Since the Z4 has been a huge sales disaster, BMW decided a facelift and a M car might jump start sales.

Those are old pics, the facelifted car has not been spotted.

Those lips on the rear wheel, & the design, makes it looks smaller.

That car doesn't really look like a proper M-Model. But I guess cuz the Z4 styling is so way out there to start with. It just seems like the M3 and M5 are so much more distinguishable from their mortal counterparts normally.

333hp in that little car?

Man that should be a FUN (if not scary) ride.

Not having too much high hopes for the facelifted M version of the Z4, it'll probably still be too ugly for me to care about it's performance.
