2007 BMW Z4 M Roadster Auto Show Photo

We've been waiting for this since the 2003 Z4 launched - the M version, with the M3's 3.2-liter, 343-horsepower six. M Power in BMW's diminutive two-seat roadster provided unbridled thrust in the old '02 Z3 M. Torque in the new M Roadster is 269 pound-feet at 4900, and redline is 8000 rpm. BMW can claim 106 horsepower per liter, and estimates a five-second 0-62 mph time and also five seconds to accelerate from 50 mph to 75 mph in fourth gear. Top speed is an electronically limited 155 mph. The M Roadster also gets the M3's variable differential lock for optimum traction in curves, six-speed manual, hydraulic power steering with a 4.7:1 ratio (not the standard Z4's Electric Power Steering), a special front spoiler, black dial/ white number/ red needle instruments, and special twin/ five-spoke 18-inch wheels. Bring on the sunshine.
