TO THE POINT What's New? Plop the M3's powerful inline six, a hydraulic rather than electric steering system, a revised suspension, and styling tweaks both functional and decorative into the BMW Z4, and the result is the excellent new M Roadster.
Selling Points: Tons of torque, macho looks, impressive handling
Deal Breakers: High price, lacks refinement, only a tick faster than a stock Z4

2006 BMW M Roadster

Real aluminum, soft touch surfaces and high quality leather greet the BMW M Roadster's occupants. The only cheap looking pieces are the plastics used on the center console, which not only look inexpensive but scratch easily. On our test car, the areas above the center storage door and under the emergency brake were scratched from normal everyday use and it made the interior look old and dingy.
