Doug's Take

The BMW Z4 M Coupe is a fantastic sports car that offers attractive styling, a mandatory 6-speed manual transmission, and the legendary S54 6-cylinder engine borrowed from the E46 M3. This particular Z4 M features a long list of cool modifications, including 19-inch Volk Racing wheels, an RPI exhaust, an Eventuri air intake, KW coilovers, and an Alcantara steering wheel. It's also been registered in dry-climate California since new, adding further to the appeal.
