How about this?
BMW M Coupe Will Hit the Streets Soon
When the BMW Z4 Coupe concept made its debut at the 2005 Frankfurt Motor Show, it not only looked good, it packed 261 horsepower, a set of 19-inch wheels and short gears for maximum acceleration. We fully expect to see a production version of that concept soon, but our latest spy photos also indicate that a Motorsport version could be on the way as well.
The 2007 BMW M Coupe prototype was spotted at every manufacturer's favorite test track, the Nrburgring. Unlike the concept shown in Frankfurt, the M coupe prototype rode on a set of double-spoke wheels similar to those used on several Motorsport cars over the last several years. A quick check of the tailpipes reveals four outlets another Motorsport trademark. Although the upcoming M3 is expected to get a 400-hp V8 under its hood, the M Coupe will probably stick with a high-powered version of the standard six. The Z4 coupe could go on sale early next year so expect the M coupe to arrive by the summer of 2006.
2007 BMW Z4 M Coupe - Auto Shows
The M Coupe is back, and this time it doesn't look like a clown shoe. With a base price around $50,000 and 330 hp in a light body, it will do 0-60 in less than 5 seconds.
The BMW M Coupe is the production version of the wildly popular Z4 coupe concept shown at the 2005 Frankfurt auto show. With the outgoing E46 M3's fantastic inline-six (making 330 hp in the M Coupe) and limited-slip differential, but with hundreds of pounds less weight to haul around, this coupe will accelerate from 0-60 in less than 5 seconds. BMW pegs the Z4 M Coupe's weight at 3104 lbs, which is 150 lbs heavier than the 295-hp Porsche Cayman S. If you're counting, that makes the Z4 M Coupe's power-to-weight ratio 8 percent better than the Porsche's. Enthusiasts have complained bitterly about all the technology-for-technology's-sake in recent BMW cars, and somebody at the M division is listening: Like the Z4 M Roadster, the Z4 M Coupe comes with a conventional 6-speed manual transmission, conventional hydraulically assisted steering, and conventional springs and shocks. This is like missionary sex with Jessica Simpson no bad thing. The Z4 M Coupe will cost approximately $50,000, and for around $10,000 less, there will also be a non-M Z4 coupe with a 255-hp inline-six. Both cars arrive in the U.S. in late summer of 2006.
I wanted one of these when they came out!
