:thumbsup:

wonder why they are not giving the new Z4 the M treatment?

whoops, didn't read the title right...I thought this was Z4 Sport...too early to read properly....

probably just the M-sport kit

apparently z4 are pretty damn fast!! :eek:


stock 3.0L engine runs 14.0 1/4 mile with only 225hp and 220 torque ish

i wonder if this gen z4 would get the v8 and not the 6cly 333.

when Steve Dinan was doing his lowermainland tour, he mentioned that the new M cars will not have high revving NA motors anymore....new M cars will be warmed over regular bimmers.....I hope the Z4 gets the V8, but I think a it will get a tuned version of the 3.0l TT....similar to the new X5M/X6M Vs X5/X6

apparently there won't be an M version for the new z4s, only the M-sport package

that's not that fast...and the new Z4 is 3L Twin Turbo 300HP...

love the side profile..

M-Sport != ///M

looks good

the new z4 is one of those cars that just got it right :)

I think the new Z4 M sport will be similar to the previous gen X5 4.8is.....more performance oriented than a regular bimmer, but not quite to M standards...otherwise I think they would call it M Roadster or MZ4....I think it would be more like the 550i with the M-tech sports pkg.

I don't think they still use the E46 M3 engine, just because the 3.0 Twin turbo performance is so close if not better, they'd probably stick in the E92M3 V8, since it's the M3 engine of the time, that'd be sick 415 hp in a Z4 *drools*

well consider 220hp and able to run 14 flate

:eek:

look at 350z's quarter mile, low 14s with 300hp higher torque number as well


NEW Z meaning 2010 version? so basically 335i engine than

dude, shyguy is right......there is no way a 3500lbs car with 220hp can do 14 flat in the quarter. The base engine in the Z4 is the same motor in the 328i...it is a NA 3.0L motor putting out 230hp at the crank....but the one all the mags are testing is the 3.0L TT.....

Yeah I don't think it can do 14 flat with the base engine

Anyways, I think they need a more hardcore performance version to compete with the cayman S which is serious business on the track 300hp and Mid engine, now with PDK option in a car under 3000 pounds? BMW needs something to keep up with and just a higher power engine won't cut it, M coupe makes sense to me

Although in a way, for the price of a cayman S an M3 is just waiting to kick it's ass. hmm...

its an M sport package. BMW has no plans for an M version of the Z4, not yet.

+1

what he said. I look forward to it though, I guess they will wait for the porsche to make the first move first.

dude i didnt wonna believe either, i had a hugeee almost 3 hrs debate with my buddy. CAuse an idiot korean guy in a Z4 tried to race me on knight bridge...cut me off, block me..than tailgates me...than honk at me to race him i was like WTF!!! :rolleyes:

apparently i had no choice to believe until he showed many websites listing they are running 14.0 1/4 mile 3.0 engine
i find it very very hard to believe with 220hp and 1380kg it can run that fast.
Similar power, s2k, IS300, IS250 or other cars with 220hp cannot run low 14 or flate 14 bone stock.

2nd one



also seen a 14.0 flate on another article as well

^ hey man, the z4 quoted in your links is the previous gen Z4...with the 3.0 motor and 255-265hp & 225lbs of torque.....+ the previous gen Z4 is lighter at 3200lbs.

#s look right though.....

Wait you raced a Z4 in your si?

Lol @ irrelevant numbers for a higher powered car that weighs less

since when did i drive a Si
:rolleyes:


and when did i say i raced a Si?


the fucker tried to race me, i was pissed and gave him the finger becuz he fucking did all of the above
cut me off, tailgates me, box me out to the corner

Oh, okay, so did you end up racing him?

huh?


04 z4


225@5900 hp

214 ft lb , 290 Nm @ 3,500 rpm

3200 lbs isnt exactly light, roughly 1380kg?

with the above spec, seems impossible to run low 14/flate 14

e46 M3 weighs like what? 120-150kg more? but with addtional 110hp more plus 30-40 pounds more torque to make up for the weight? yet it runs mid 13?

and 350z with roughly 1500kg 300hp, 270 torque it runs low 14, z4 just seems way to fast for what it is
