I hope they build a new ///M Z4 soon

You guys feel the same way? if so let the ///M Division know that also some of you are waiting for a fine ///M Z4 ... it might get them to hurry and build one soon

Meanwhile here is a ///M Division video you might enjoy ...

Well we can hope, one never knows what the ///M Engineers are working on behind close doors ... let us wait a while and see

I do have to agree with you the e89 twin turbo is a wonderful piece of engineering and it has a lot of power ... I am certain the next generation of the ///M3 will be a in-line 6 cylinder tweaked to perfection with a twin turbo also

Actually I still wish they'd released an E89 Z4M with the S65 engine and reworked suspension. Looks like it'll never happen now, and the rumours of the tri-turbo are just depressing...

Then again, have you guys checked out Manhart's E89 engine upgrades?

Maybe they'll skip the s65 engine and give the e89 a slightly detuned version of the upcoming m3 engine like they did with the original z3M.

It seems that in an interview a BMW bigshot has talked about an E89 Z4M with this same engine, most likely to come with the arrival of the facelift of the current model. Let's hope for the best

Think about it, all the 1M required was an upgraded N54 engine wise, it wouldn't be that hard for M division to put the same tuning setup on a Z4, upgrade some suspension, slap on M3 ZCP wheels and brakes, flare the fenders, and call it a day.

Leave well enough alone

I'd have mixed feelings about any changes to the current E89 body. I think it's quite beautiful and I wouldn't want to see it contaminated with garish add-on pieces. I would hope any changes brought on by the Z4M would be as tasteful and artistic as the original work. I think that would be difficult, but I'm open minded.

No, it doesn't matter to me either way, I am 100% satisfied with my 35i and would not consider selling my car to get a Z4M, which will most likely be over-priced.

I agree with BLUE, if we had wanted an M car we would have bought one. Our Z4 is just perfect with all the M bits but no badges.

Not at all I plan to add a 2 seater to my stable. If the ///M Division is not making a new Z4M then I will get a used low milage 2008 or 2007. Have my eye on a few

Heck the stock market is going crazy may as well invest some cash into something beautify one can touch and take for a Sunday drive when it's nice.
