This isn’t your grandpa’s Z4.

Under the hood of the BMW Z4 M Coupe are 330 horses yearning to be set free on any unsuspecting blacktop, sharing a 3.2-liter inline-6 with its larger cousin, the M3, this car means business on the highway and the track.

It goes around corners like a dynamo and runs 0-60 in less than five seconds, impressive for a convertible, but you’ll get the chance to make it a champion in SHIFT.

When you think of German power and luxury, chances are your mind won’t drift to Spartanburg, South Carolina, but the E85 Z4 was manufactured in Spartanburg until 2008, when production was moved back to Germany for the E89.
