Unfortunately, while the others will all get a full blown M model sitting above the M40i powered by a 450hp+ S58, there are currently no plans for a Z4 M (according to SCOTT). But you never know, that could change.

The Roadster market is shrinking considerably so had BMW not jointly developed the car with Toyota then it would probably not have been given the green light especially with the market performance of the previous E89 model.
Should the Z4 revitalise the market especially for BMW?
Then we will see additional progress to capitalise on its success.
But again it is more of a case of "if" rather than when.
