Japan Used BMW M Coupe for Sale

The BMW M Coupe is a high performance model of the BMW Z3 and Z4 coupes built and marketed by BMW. The first generation was inspired by the Z3 and was produced between 1998 and 2002. The second generation was inspired by the Z4 and was produced between 2006 and 2008.

Developed under the leadership of engineer Burkhard Gosche, the M Coupe was manufactured from 1998 until 2002.

The Z3M Coupes were initially powered by the engines same as the E36 M3. This means that most countries initially uses the 3.2 L version of the BMW S50 engine. The S50 is rated at 236 kW (316 hp) at 7,400 rpm and 350 N⋅m (260 lb⋅ft) at 3,250rpm, while the S52 engine is rated at 179 kW (240 hp) at 6,000rpm and 320 N⋅m (240 lb⋅ft) at 3,800rpm. A total of 2,999 models were produced with the S50 engine and 2,180 cars were produced with the S52 engine. The gearbox is a ZF Type C 5-speed manual.

At the 2005 Frankfurt Motor Show the first coupe model was introduced to the public and then in production form at the 2006 Geneva International Motor Show with production starting shortly after.

The Z4 M Coupe has a fastback coupe design, resulting in a different body shape to its Z3 M Coupe predecessor. The roof added an additional weight of 5 kg (11 lb) as compared to the roadster.

It can accelerate 0–97 km/h (60 mph) is 5 seconds and its top speed is 249 km/h (155 mph). The engine was mated to a new 6-speed "Type H" ZF manual transmission since the M3's original 6-speed transmission did not fit the Z4's chassis. The Z4 uses the same limited slip differential as the E46 M3.

Its braking system is much common as the E46 M3. The brake calipers are from the M3 Competition model and the brake discs (consisting of aluminum hubs, stainless steel pins, cross drilled iron floating rotors) are from the E46 M3 CSL.
