Bringing it back into a Z4 is not possible when it is already in a Z4 production model.
I do wish they had put the ///M Power rocker cover on the 35iS as they did on the 1M.
Open the bonnet and you get "BMW Twin Power" on our engine and the 1M boys get "BMW ///M Power" on theirs.
If they were soooo busy putting ///M badges all over the 35iS, why couldn't they acknowledge the engine was the most ///M bit and put a sticker there for us?
I'd trade the door sills, the speedo and steering wheel badges all for that engine cover. Let's face it, it is the only performance enhancing thing they changed on the 35iS, so it shoudl be the only thing that gets a ///M badge. |
Just one thing about the rumored new Z4M35, it would not have the same engine as the current Z4 35iS because the current engine is the N54 "iS" or N54T (same as 1M) instead the Z4M35 would have the "is" version of the N55 with 320HP, that's a difference where you might encounter the why of the renaming situation.
