BMW Z4 M Specs, Engines & Dimensions (2006–2008) — First Generation
The first-generation BMW Z4 M is the hard-edged take on the compact two-seater, offered as a closed Coupe and an open Roadster, built around driver involvement rather than everyday comfort.
The BMW Z4 M engine in the examples shown here is a 3.3-litre gasoline unit, as in the 3.3 MT Coupe and 3.3 MT Roadster. Both pair it with a manual transmission and rear-wheel drive, a drivetrain layout that keeps steering and traction duties separate for cleaner feedback.
BMW Z4 M trim levels are tied closely to the technical version: the 3.3 MT Coupe carries equipment configurations listed simply as Z4 M. On focused cars like this, differences between configurations usually involve seats, trim materials and comfort features rather than changes to the mechanical package.
