2007 Bmw Z4 M Coupe Rear
As was the case previously, the new coupe is offered in M and standard Z4 strength. The latter is sold with the 255-hp, 3.0-liter engine only and not the 215-hp 3.0-liter that is also available in the Z4 droptop.
Our drive was confined to the M Coupe, which, like the M Roadster, uses the 3.2-liter straight six from the current M3. This is a whole lot of engine for the 3309-pound M Coupe. (0 to 60 mph happens in 5.1 seconds.) Get on it, and a mechanical rasp fills the cabin. The spec sheet will tell you that peak outputs of 330 hp and 262 lb-ft are reached at a lofty 7900 rpm and 4900 rpm, respectively, but the reality is that the iron-block six’s long stroke fattens the torque curve while the six individual throttles and free-flowing intake and exhaust systems keep the party going all the way to the 8000-rpm redline. The potent six completely sets the tone for this car: it’s amped up and always ready to break into a run.
