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 features relatively low mileage and a handsome color combination. It also touts some great factory equipment including a limited-slip differential, Nappa leather upholstery, and heated seats – along with several nice modifications like 18-inch Apex ARC-8 wheels and a Strömung exhaust. If you're in the market for a Z4 M Coupe, this one looks like a fantastic choice.
