In truth, the Z4 isn’t ... as Sport or as an M Sport, and the M40i which BMW terms an M Performance model – effectively a halfway house between a regular BMW and an M-car.

We’re a little disappointed with the Z4’s 2023 facelift, because we would’ve liked to see BMW extract some more sportiness from this G29 generation ... to an outright M car.

BMW has no plans to produce the Z4 Coupe concept. After its debut at last year's Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este, the rumor mill went wild, alleging BMW had plans to make the car in limited numbers.
