if the Z4M roadster I drove at vmax is anything to go by, you're in for a lot of fun guys.

I'm getting mine in early September, it joins my CSL (which is staying until the next one comes out). I drove a Z4M Coupe last weekend and am due to drive it on circuit in a comparison test for Total BMW next week. It's much better than an M3, and a noticeable improvement over the Z4M Roadster that I drove for issue 091 of EVO. Better turn-in (due to a higher ratio steering rack and uprated diff) and much less body roll than the Roadster. It looks very different too, more complete as a design and with the stance of a rottweiler. I suspect it will become a classic.

There are a few cars still available with September build slots. If you drop me a message I can put you in touch with one dealer I know with a slot.

Very little compares with a CSL, which feels like a track car whereas the Z4M Coupe feels like a very good road car. The Z4M sounds much better than a regular M3, smoother, louder and more interesting but nowhere near as loud or crazy as the CSL. I like them both but for different reasons, ultimately the CSL has a wonderfully stable chassis and accelerates harder at the top-end but the z4M Coupe is easier to live with on the road and very compact. The CSL weighs less than the Z4M Coupe too.
