E85 is the original Bangle design, fun loving, Roadster, all engines.

E86 came along as a very petty after thought. Is the Coupe. Available with 3.0 or 3.2 engines only. :thumbsup:

Let battle commence. :lol:

The E85 was first and a few years later the mistakes were rectified with the birth of the E86 :P :P

The E85 "classic" was the pure shape that the designer put to paper. Then someone at BMW decided they wanted an estate/hatchback version and out came the E86, known as the Coupri :)

To answer your question, the BMW Z4M is either a E85 (Roadster) manufactured to 'M' specification or a E86 (Coupe) manufactured to 'M' specification.

No. The question was "What is a Bmw Z4m". Perhaps the cold wind made your eyes water and you could not read clearly. :poke:
