I have to say, I am disappointed in BMW. Nothing against turbo-4 engines -- I have owned them in numerous sports cars over the years -- but what sold me on the s30i was the lovely inline six engine. It's a gem, and has a long heritage that has defined BMW. I wouldn't have even shopped the Z4 if it was sold with a turbo-4, and certainly not in the $50-55K range. They are delusional. I am sure sales will suffer.

BTW, I wouldn't even mention the TT in comparison. Pricing aside, it is not in the same class as the E89 Z4. It stacked up a little better against the previous generation.
