Doug's Take
I think the BMW Z4 M Coupe is a highly underrated sports car, as its mandatory 6-speed manual transmission and potent S54 6-cylinder engine provide plenty of driving thrills – and its unique design gives it more practicality than the Roadster. This particular Z4 M touts a classic color combination and some nice modifications – including 18-inch Apex EC-7 wheels, Stromung Exhaust mufflers, and BC Racing coilovers, which should help make it especially engaging to drive. Plus, this M Coupe is offered with the thrill of no reserve, so someone is taking it home at the end of the auction.
