BMW might as well do away with their upgraded sporty "M" line if they continue on their current path of massive horsepower in their non-"M"-badged vehicles. The addition of turbo chargers to their fleet in 2007 has given BMW speed enthusiasts something to dream about. The story is the same for the latest Z4 coupe. The 2011 Z4 sDrive35is is fitted with the newest installment of the twin-turbo charged inline 6 engine made popular by the 335i. This new version, however, is rated at 335hp and 365ft-lbs of torque, up 35 and 65 units respectively.
The new Z4 features a convertible hard-top
Power converts to wheel spin through BMW's 7-speed DCT "dual-clutch-transmission".
Wide Shot interior
Understated dual rear exhaust
Critiques? Testers say the suspension lacks the proper gusto needed to match up with the high demands of the engine. Styling and smooth ride, however, were ranked high for the coupe.
The ever-popular numbers:
Weight: 3,550lbs.
Horsepower/Torque: 335hp/365 ft-lbs.
0-60mph: 4.4s
top speed: 155mph (gov. limited)
Fuel economy: 17/24mpg
