Power for the 2006 BMW Z4 M Roadster comes from a 3.2-liter, 24-valve, dual overhead cam, inline six-cylinder engine that generates 330 horsepower. Managing that output is a standard six-speed manual transmission or an optional six-speed Steptronic automatic with steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters. This powertrain allows the M Roadster to hit 60 mph in only 4.9 seconds, with an electronically-governed top speed of 155 mph.
What's Inside
BMW’s M cars are more about performance than luxury, so while the interiors are nicely appointed, the real focus is on the powertrain and the driving dynamics. Nevertheless, the $51,995 sticker price buys a two-passenger cabin with leather bucket seats, three distinct trim offerings, and M-specific items like the steering wheel, shift knob, and plated pearlescent chrome on dash buttons and door handles. Navigation and upgraded sound systems are available.
What It Looks Like
The 2006 BMW Z4 Roadster, on which the M is based, has been updated with a revised front fascia, new fog lights, and redesigned taillights. As a means of distinction, the 2006 M Roadster adds a front spoiler and larger air inlets, a more sculpted hood, and unique 18-inch alloy wheels. The rear perspective is enhanced with quad tailpipes and a diffuser.
