TO THE POINT What's New? Plop the M3's powerful inline six, a hydraulic rather than electric steering system, a revised suspension, and styling tweaks both functional and decorative into the BMW Z4, and the result is the excellent new M Roadster.
Selling Points: Tons of torque, macho looks, impressive handling
Deal Breakers: High price, lacks refinement, only a tick faster than a stock Z4

2006 BMW M Roadster

Thankfully, BMW chose not to include its iDrive navigation and telematics system in the 2006 BMW M Roadster. Instead, a simple and easy-to-use radio with standard presets sits at the top center of the dash. The red digital readout can be difficult to see in sunny conditions and a larger display would be appreciated.
