The new BMW Z4 M Coupe won praise from Top Gear columnist Tom Ford, who says “it’s an old-school streetfighter; a little bit scary but all the better for it.” Unlike other recent “M” products from BMW, the 343 horsepower Z4 isn’t diluted by excessive gadgets and technology, he says. “The Z4 M Coupe is almost as interesting for what it hasn’t got as for what it has. There are no power output options, gearbox settings, damper controls or flashy electronics. […] Unlike the M5 or M6, the Z4 M Coupe feels back-to-basics, and is so much the better for it.” He continues, “The Z4 M Coupe is all brawn and excitement, flicking an unrepentant V at those people who just travel at speed rather than really ‘drive’.”
