The Z4 M is no longer going into production and leaves us with a slight feeling of dissatisfaction upon viewing these photos. The words “consolation prize” spring to mind.

It appears engineers have taken a leaf from the 3-Series convertible and engineered a retractable hard top with the Mercedes SLK squarely in its sights.
