No M-version for new Z4

10 Jul 2009

BMW has confirmed that it will not build a Z4M, due to economic downturn and lack of customer demand.

Bad news for all performance car fans, BMW has announced that they will not be building an M-version of their brand new BMW Z4.

Instead, they will be slating an M Sport package for the coupe, just like that on the 135i, which includes a sporty body kit, larger alloy wheels, tuned suspension and an M steering wheel.

Another possible upgrade on the Z4 could include an ECU remap to increase the output of the range-topping car's 3.0-litre twin-turbo by an extra 20hp, taking the total to 326hp.

A BMW spokesman says there is no business case for a full-on M version of the Z4 in the current economic crisis, and that M versions of the X5 and X6 were signed off before the bottom fell out on the car market.
