Is this the new Z4 M? Or it is an M package? What is M40i means?

No it's not an M, it's an M40i like the M140i or M340i. Doesn't have an "S**" engine number. It's all a bit mixed up now since M is used as a trim level rather than an actual separate model with different engines and suspension/brakes built in a different factory.

It is a bit mixed up / diluted now but yeah it’s like the M140i / M240i
Not all M cars have an ‘S’ engine number.

I always thought it went:
M sport = trim level.
M performance = m140i etc = top performing “normal” car
//M = m3 or M4 = the real deal and a stand-alone line

Thank you guys for the info. I hope the M division to have something much better for the new Z4M, than this. I feel so lucky with my actual z4m after seeing this. 
I am jealous only for the dashboard.

M Sport used to mean up graded suspension and sport "mode" on the gearbox, I take it the 40i is actually a 3.0 with turbos and set up to increase power from the 35i

So, I don't know about everyone else but I feel like I've been let down by the new z4. Its more similar to the fiat 124 than anything else. They lost the BMW front bumper styling and the headlights are just wrong. Like why are they more vertical than horizontal, the interior i must confess is absolutely beautiful. But there isnt very many sharp lines or anything!!

+ another! But from what I have read the Supra will be using the BMW engine, so there isn't going to be much Toyota in it!Flyingfifer wrote: ↑Sat Aug 25, 2018 5:38 pm AveZ4coop wrote: ↑Sat Aug 25, 2018 5:11 am

A shame it's a soft top, think I'd prefer an E89 for this reason.
