The 2006 BMW Z4 M Coupé is a high-performance sports coupé variant of the first generation Z4 from BMW.

It was introduced shortly after the the Z4 line-up received a facelift in 2006 and shares many technical similarities with the BMW M3 (E46), including its engine.

Games[]

Need for Speed: ProStreet[]

The Z4 M Coupé appears in the PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360 releases of Need for Speed: ProStreet as a tier 3 vehicle with a price tag of $50,000.

It performs well in Grip and Drift events. Its responsive handling and good acceleration make it a competitive tier 3 car.

Need for Speed: Undercover[]

The Z4 M Coupé appears in the Collector's Edition release of Need for Speed: Undercover as a tier 2 vehicle.

Top speed is 204 mph (328 km/h) with a stock BMW Z4 M Coupé, which is beaten by the majority of the tier 2 class. Even with all upgrades available in the game, the car cannot surpass the top speed of the BMW M3 E46, which also has a low top speed. This deficiency is balanced by responsive handling.

Need for Speed: Shift[]

The Z4 M Coupé appears in Need for Speed: Shift as a tier 2 vehicle with a price tag of $60,000.

It is not capable of a Works conversion and has a performance rating of 5,70. The M Coupé is therefore a decent performer in Shift. Due to the front-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout, it is prone to oversteer in corners though.

Need for Speed: World[]

The Z4 M Coupé was released in Need for Speed: World as a tier 2 car on June 28, 2010 during the seventh closed beta session. Since August 22, 2012, it has been featured as a D class vehicle.

Best trait of the Z4 M Coupé is handling, since the car is balanced in corners and responsive to steering inputs. Acceleration is on the same level as the Renault Clio V6 and other fast D class cars. Its nitrous boost is average. Top speed is 147 mph (236 km/h).
