BMW Z4 sDrive35is Mille Miglia revealed

The Germany only BMW Z4 Mille Miglia As we mentioned the other day when we were talking about Jaguar and the Mille Miglia, it’s that Mille Miglia time of year when car makers turn to their history books to see if they can get some mileage out of a Mille Miglia link and attach it to current products.

But of course, that needs a little extra explanation to put it in to context.
