When the BMW Z4 Coupe concept made its debut at the 2005 Frankfurt Motor Show, it not only looked good, it packed 261 horsepower, a set of 19-inch wheels and short gears for maximum acceleration. We fully expect to see a production version of that concept soon, but our latest spy photos also indicate that a Motorsport version could be on the way as well.

The 2007 BMW M Coupe prototype was spotted at every manufacturer's favorite test track, the Nürburgring. Unlike the concept shown in Frankfurt, the M coupe prototype rode on a set of double-spoke wheels similar to those used on several Motorsport cars over the last several years. A quick check of the tailpipes reveals four outlets — another Motorsport trademark. Although the upcoming M3 is expected to get a 400-hp V8 under its hood, the M Coupe will probably stick with a high-powered version of the standard six. The Z4 coupe could go on sale early next year so expect the M coupe to arrive by the summer of 2006.
