The 2008 BMW Z4 M compact sports car is based on the Z4 product. We believe it is one of the best rides on the market today. This car is under-appreciated and more people looking to purchase sports cars should consider them. The design is unique and the engine is large giving this sports car fantastic power.

The M1 was the first M-labeled car from BMW and it was originally built as a pure race car and then re-engineered and detuned for the street. The street version was originally produced for the purpose of homologation in endurance racing series. Homologation required all cars competing in the series to be based on a production model forcing BMW to make the street version. The M products became a major marketing tool for BMW, especially in the U.S. This led them to improve the products and expand the car line containing the designation. Now all the BMW M cars are direct competitors to Mercedes-Benz' AMG division products.
The BMW M Roadster was introduced in 2006 sporting a new six-speed manual transmission, aluminum hubs, iron rotors, and majority of its suspension components borrowed from the M3, and a hydraulic steering setup.
