The Z4 M Roadster (E85/E86) Is Finally Worth Buying Before Values Spike
"The Z4 M got dismissed as a Porsche-lite placeholder for years. Now it's the buy that makes actual sense—solid bones, real performance pedigree, and prices haven't bottomed out yet."
— Revvly Take
The E85/E86 generation sits in that sweet spot where S54 values haven't fully caught up to the rest of the market. Clean examples with service records are still available sub-$40k, though that window is closing. The S54's 333hp and the roadster's 50/50 weight distribution made this the thinking person's alternative to the 350Z.
