You sure about that? Both the MZ4 Coupe and MZ4 Roadster sold POORLY. BMW at one point had to put a $10,000 trunk cash incentive to move both. I recall back in 2007 (just 1 year after the MZ4s went into production) there were at least a dozen MZ4s lining up in the back parking lot at the dealership that I bought my car from.

Worldwide production numbers only differ by about 800 units, fully accounting for the fact that the Roadsters went into production in August of 2005 as a MY 2006 model, while Coupe production didn't start until end of March time-frame. It may have sold more by 1,2xx in North America, but that probably reflected BMW's global sales strategy and allocation more than actual "popularity."
