That the same in z4's too do they have u.s 3.0 blocks
would that make them different engines to a 330i????????
would actually give my left bollock for a z4 coupe,
im suprised you dont see more cus if i had the money thats where i'd be spending it. They are really the only new bmw's that are proper cool, so devious looking! love it

The previous M52 and the US S52 M engine were different in the NA market - the US S52 was more like a normal M52.
The Z4 Coupe has just gone out of production, as there's a new folding hardtop Z4 out. As per the Z3 and Z4 like mine, no official word on a Coupe version as yet, but, it may come along in time. Only something like 12000 coupes worldwide - under 1/10th of the Roadster, the fact that it only came along mid-life and in 3.0 and 3.2 M variants probably limited sales too. It certainly appealed to me as a semi-practical car (seeing as I rarely have more than 1 passenger, and it has a decent boot), as well as looks and performance. It's interesting that the TT is the opposite - far more coupes than convertibles.

I hold z3 coupes/ z4 coupes in the same regard as u would a z1 or alpina or something...
They are unusual and will probably worth a fortune in the future they have to be the most sensible buy if u were to buy a modern bmw depreciation wise etc and it will always be more bespoke than its rivals like the tt etc

They certainly are a bargain now - prices are really at a low, which is one of the reasons I've kept mine for 2 years as I bought it new.
There's only one BMW I'd currently consider changing mine to that I see as a replacement, the 135i (especially when the official BMW Performance tuning kit comes out - about 360bhp). It's more than a match for the M3 as standard though.

Pilsbury, how many z4m coupes were made? More than the z3m coupe?
If they are phasing, or have phased i should say, the z4m out its got the potential for a future classic I think.
Likewise the z3m, I can't see the prices getting any lower than they are now, £9500-£15,000 dependant on spec and engine.

About 50:50 spilt 3.0si : Z4 M Coupe I believe, about the same split as the 2.8/3.0 : Z3 M Coupe, but, there were a lot less Z3 Coupes. The 2.8 / 3.0 Z3 Coupe was LHD only, and the M Coupe was a very acquired taste...
In fact, until a couple of years ago, I'd never actually seen more one on the roads here, yet I know of 4 Z1's near me.
