BMW Z4 M Coupé and Z4 Coupé will be out in June 2006.

Munich. Two months ago, BMW created a stir at the IAA 2005 with the
concept study of the Z4 Coupé. Trade show visitors in Frankfurt
and Tokyo were captivated by the body in silken matt finish, tailored
in the very best style of a classic sports coupé, the driving
dynamics potential you could even see when the vehicle was stationary
and the dream cockpit. Indeed, the reactions of the public were
overwhelming, so BMW has now decided to push ahead with the further
serial production development of the Z4 Coupé: the first
vehicles will be delivered to customers as early as June 2006. The
195kW/265 bhp in-line 6-cylinder engine ensures superior agility, not
just due to supreme output but also because of low weight resulting
from the use of magnesium. It not only catapults the Z4 Coupé to
the top of the international competitive field but is also evidence of
the enormous performance capacity of the fundamental BMW Z4 Roadster
concept - which forms the basis of the coupé. Activities have
also been intensified which are aimed at providing passionate sporty
drivers with even higher expectations of power and agility with a
high-end variation as quickly as possible. The result is the Z4 M
Coupé. With the 252 kW/343 bhp high-rpm engine, familiar from
the BMW M3 and winner of many international awards, the M chassis and M
specific body, it will also come out in June 2006 to quicken the pulse
of the world's sports coupé connoisseurs. New motifs of the Z4
Coupé, along with similar vehicles which inspired it will be
available in high resolution from November 23rd on the BMW media website
www.press.bmwgroup.com. More detailed information on the BMW Z4
Coupé and Z4 M Coupé will follow at the beginning of 2006.
