Unfortunately BMW has confirmed the news that is has cancelled further development and production of the BMW Z4 M.

The German car manufacturer said the economic downturn and a lack of customer interest in the model ruled out going forward with an M version of the Z4.

Strangely enough, the company is going forward with the X5 M and the X6 M and a whole host of new products that are large, expensive and not very economical on fuel costs.
Therefore, the lack of customer interest in the model - rather than the crisis- is perhaps the main reason for killing the M-powered roadster. Although it remains hard to believe, there is one consolation prize: the Z4 will get an M Sport package, just like the 135i.
