It"d be easy to kick this off by immediately talking grille size, but that"d be a lazy comparison to jump to. It"s what lies behind those grilles that matters.The 1998, BMW Z3-based M Roadster on the right possesses a 3.2-litre straight-six with 321bhp. Its 2019 equivalent, the Z4 M40i, utilises a 3.0-litre straight-six turbo with 335bhp. Not much progress between the two, you might ponder, but that"s rather the point; as the Z4"s rivals flock to tax-evading four-cylinder engines, it"s stuck steadfast to the M Division rulebook. Sometimes more is more.Images: Rowan HorncastleBig thanks to The Hairpin Company (www.thehairpincompany.co.uk, 01249 760686) for letting us use their M Roadster
