With a special addition: a steering wheel as fat as a balloon tire on a kid’s bike. OK, so the fancy stuff has its place on other BMWs but in this M we have simple direct, pay attention control. Even electric steering (like on the M-less Z4) is absent. Their "active steering" is absent here complicated variable steering ratios are absent. The Z4 M’s steering seems to come to us unadorned, undiluted and as responsive and communicative as BMW’s once were before bright Bavarian engineers set about to improve the egg. Nor is there anything stirred in with the questionable intention of improving BMW’s benchmark steering. And there is no iDrive to delight or befuddle. For instance the SMG (sequential) transmission is not even an option here. Importantly, the Z4 M has also rejected certain gifts from the M3. The stated horsepower is 330 and the torque an admirable 262 lbs/ft (albeit not fully realized until 4900 rpm.) The Z4 M has accepted certain donations from the remarkable M3 coupe such as basic underpinnings and road-loving suspension and the awe-inspiring 3.2 liter inline six cylinder engine.
#2006 BMW IDRIVE REVIEW DRIVER#
It is fast, agile, capable and ready to enthrall any driver who can appreciate its direct simplicity and clean competency. Or maybe the "M" stands for "much" because there is such a muchness about this coupe. "M" is what BMW puts on its cars to say: "More." More zip, more pizzazz, more go, more stop, more for a serious driver to sink a foot into.
