Potential for Z4M with s58?
In the past, the higher ups at BMW have flatly denied the possibility of a true M version of the Z4. I just came across this article about the potential for a limited edition version of the Supra that would feature the S58 engine (the ///M version of the B58 in the M40i).
https://www.autoblog.com/2020/07/11/...bmw-m3-engine/ Assuming these rumors have some credibility, would it not make sense for BMW to do the same thing to the Z4 and give us a full M version of the G29? Probably just wishful thinking on my part, but a Z4M would be my ideal car. |

Was about to post a similar theory. I think they'll watch how the GRMN Supra sells. An Alpina roadster version would be fantastic!

Plug a JB4 into the current engine if its not strong enough for you. So far have been traction limited on launch & 1/2 shift to maximize the current engines output in a traffic light grand prix. Can just get slightly under 4 seconds.

Stick a manual transmission in the Z4 and I would have bought one, ultimately though I have little faith in BMW putting any money into the Z4, it will likely just receive the axe instead.
