2006 BMW Z4 Preview

Looks Fast, Goes Faster

The latest version of BMW's M Roadster gives this seductive ragtop racecar-like performance.

Is The M Roadster For You?

Buy This Vehicle If	You want one of the highest-performance roadsters this side of a six-figure exotic; you've driven the Z4 and yearned for more power and higher handling limits.
Keep Looking If	Over 300 horsepower in a small convertible is more than you care to handle; you prefer boulevard cruising to zipping around tight turns on back roads (in which case a Lexus SC 430 might better suit you); you require more than two seats and a small trunk.
Who Fits?	As with most small roadsters, interior space is at a premium, and it takes some dexterity to climb in and out with the top up, thanks to the low roofline. If you're 5 foot 9 or taller, you're almost guaranteed to bump your head on the way in.
