BMW Z4 M Sport Package spy shots

While it isn’t the high-performance Z4 M that we’re all waiting for, BMW is yet to even confirm such a car, this latest prototype spied at the Nurburgring confirms that there will be at least a Z4 with some distinct M styling cues.

The M Sport Package will include the typical exterior upgrades to give a sharper, sportier appearance, along with interior upgrades to enhance the driver-car interface. New pieces should include a BMW M shifter, M steering wheel and M footrest. Carbon fiber trim is also likely to be available.

In combination with the M Sports Package, customers will also likely have the choice of exclusive paintwork and wheel designs.

What’s not clear is whether or not engineers are also testing a range of new BMW Performance accessories designed for the latest 2010 Z4. Some previous accessories include minor power-up mods, beefier brakes, and transmission upgrades. It looks like we will have to wait until the new Z4 M Sport Package is released early next year.

Other models in the BMW fleet available with an M Sport Package include the 1, 3, 5, and 7-Series as well as the X5, which you can read about in our previous story.

    I like the new Z. Fit the V8 from the M3 in it, maybe uprate it to 450hp, and you'd have a decent Z8 successor. (And if the Werkes says the 8 won't fit, they're lying through their kidney grilles, as numerous companies have put V8s and even the M5's V10 in the smaller, 1st gen Z4, and even the Z3!)

    After owning the previous Z4 M. I have to say the new look is not very becoming. A minature 6 is not what I have in mind for the sports car. The previous gen M felt more distinct and unmistakable to its own entity, this one however...meh for me.
