They stopped the M version when they changed from the E85 to the E89 (2009 model). They have "M" packages now, but it's not a real "M" division designed car ................ just some parts bin stuff. The 2006 - 2009 Z4 M only came with a 6MT.

Yep, and I didn't want an expensive to maintain European car with 0 warranty that is 1/2 a decade old, so I passed. I can't do SMG, and that engine was pure sex. Smooth and eager to please.

BMW needs to do a Z8 again with the E92's M3's powerplant.
