2006 BMW Z4 M Coupe - FORGET the E46 BMW M3!

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

I’m excited to introduce you to my new weekend car: a 2006 BMW Z4 M Coupe (E86) in Interlagos Blue. Only 1815 M Coupes were made for North America, making it the rare and extra hardcore cousin to the legendary E46 M3.
In this video, I'll show you guys why I chose it over the E46 M3, E85 Z4 M Roadster, and 987 Cayman!

    Love the look of the car in blue. I haven't drive a Z4M coupe, but I have both the Z4M Roadster and a Cayman and they are quite different cars. The Cayman feels like it just wires itself into your brain and the car melts away. The Z4M, on the other hand, makes you very aware you are operating a machine. I love them both and feel quite fortunate to be able to pick between them.

    Love the video dude! I have owned my Imola Red Z4MC for over a year now and absolutely still in love with it! I love seen the reviews of others on the car especially new owners! Excited to see more about it!

    Congrats on the new Z4M! Excited to see upcoming videos about it! I just got one recently too, and it is such a raw machine! Absolutely love it! I had driven manual probably a handful of time before getting it, so it has definitely been an experience getting accumulated lol. I need to work more on the 1-2 shift when starting to drive. As i am being cautious until things get up to temps. Things get smoother once warmed up, but it is a little scary prior when in traffic as i lose a lot of momentum. Any tips you might have? Wish you all the best with the new Z4M, I hope it brings many smiles per miles!!

    Nice review. I’ve had mine for over 12-years. Test drove a Cayman S at the time, but the Zed stayed in my head. I’ve never owned a car for this long before. Mines IB too.

    Love mine and I hate mine. When you're stuck behind people on the highway or in city traffic, the car gets annoying but on the open road, you can't beat it.

    A great review, dead on point! I drive one aswell, same interlagos color. So US Z4M’s had 13hp less than in Europe, is it the extra cats?

    Same with the E46, it was emissions tuning, but mostly the placement of the cats in the headers vs europe where they were in section 1. This reduced power, thats why the most common mod for the S54 is oem euro headers.

    Really good quick review, capturing most of the key points. The steering rack and brakes are straight out of the E46 M3 CSL. Like another commenter, I also have a Porsche, a 997.1 Carrera 2 manual. They are very similar in performance but totally different in character. The Z4 is more raw and edgy, and more exciting, but the 911 is the more rounded driving experience, more refined, and better quality. Love them both 👌 I have several videos on the car over on my other channel (Audidude: kzread.info)

    i always struggle to accept the rigidity argument against roadster / coupe.... the roadster is more stiffer torsionally than the e46 m3 coupe...... no one calls them soft??? its stiffer than a lotus exige or elise in any iteration both with an ali tub chassis... no one calls them soft, honda s2000 is WAY down on torsional numbers, its a cult car. Honestly pick the one you want because i assure you, you wont be disappointed, i tried both coupe and roadster and went the open top route at the time when i brought one brand new! The coupe is double the stiffness no doubt and at some point that's going to help but sadly NEITHER is a particularly fantastic chassis in stock form ( with terrible stock suspension) and needs a fair bit spending to get it behaving like it should do. At the time, the roadster was beating all its competition , i remember an article by EVO where they pitted it against the boxster, s2000, alpine, and tvr tuscan and it came out TOP.... The z4m coupe never beat a group test at the time and was always second fiddle to the cayman. The z4m is imo a future classic , but a note to future owners, pick the one that works for you, open top or closed but don't listen to the soft vs hardcore, its just not accurate, in reality BOTH were blunt instruments from the factory, BUT theirs an incredible chassis waiting to be unlocked for e85/e86! i think one day these cars will be extremely expensive!, its going to take some time however!

    I watched the top gear episode between the Z4 M coupe and the Porche P , and the Z4 was faster and had more features . Porche, as they described, took off more stuff out from the car and jacked up the price. BMW definitely looks more luxurious than the Porche, but the Porche handles a lot more stable . The Z4 is the hot 🌶
