actually i like the rear spoiler ! not too fond of the side panel ... looking really forward for the totally chrome grills instead of silver sprayed 35i ones.
ANY IDEA ABOUT THE PRICES ???? |

Looks awesome - as does everything from AC Schnizter.
Title is spelled incorrectly, might want to fix it for search purposes.

I agree. I like the wheels. Im equivocal on the front lip vs. the standard front. But the rest, I think is useless. The Z4 is very nicely styled out of the box and doesn't need this stuff.

They state:
"With a power of 360 HP and an unladen weight of 1485 kg, the open-top roadster from BMW accelerates from a standing start to 100 km/h in just 4.9 seconds. Even the most demanding driver will be delighted with this performance" An unmidified 35i already accelerates 0-60 in 4.8 sec according to the Road & Track road test. So 0-62 (100/km/h) must be 4.85 - 4.9 seconds. The realistic figure this additional 60 hp must be getting this figure down to, is 4.6 seconds or so. The 35i weighs 3483 lbs / 1580 kg. Where are they getting 3273 lbs /1485 kg from? Their 4 wheels can't possibly be a combined 210 lbs lighter than the factory wheels. |

Note they say "and an unladen weight of 1485 kg" - doesn't BMW spec the weight including a driver and half a tank of gas? May not account for 210 lbs, however.

Road & Track lists the Z4 curb weight as 3460 (off by 10 lbs from the BMW brochure, so probably a misprint) and a test weight of 3615, because they had a 155 lb driver test driving it. R & T ran a 4.8 second 0-60 with their 155 lb lightweight of a test driver. So what's slowing me down about .05 seconds is the extra 45 lbs of body weight I have on the test driver. Easy modification - eat less, exercise more. |

I like!
The fenders have a similar design to the very popular TENSION SV, based on the E63. The front spoiler is very ACS. Flow formed, perfectly scaled to the contours of the bonnet.
Thanks for posting! |
