According to the official Z4 catalog page 16/17
it says Figures are based on a 90% fill up, driver’s weight of 68 kg and 7 kg of luggage. Unladen weight applies to vehicles with standard equipment. Optional equipment may increase these gures. that 90% fill up i estmated it is around 50kg/110lb (according to 55Liters of tank and 98octane. 55x90%=49.5L x 0.98=48.51kg) so 50+68+7=125kg/275lb then 1580kg-125kg=1455kg/3201lb E85 3.0si roadster = 1385kg/3047lb im wondering if that 1385kg/3047lb(bmw.ca) (bmwusa.com = 3086lb) is without fuel,driver's weight and luggage. If yes, then I think 1455kg/3201lb is good enough. Last edited by E89.35i; 12-19-2008 at 09:53 PM.. |

As someone who changed to a Z4 from a mk2 Miata/MX5 i find it completely reasonable to have a Mazda sportscar owner posting here. I'd say the poster has good taste in cars!
I was frequenting Z4 forums for years before i bought one. And at least Mazda achieved little in weight gain when moving from the mk2.5 to the NC! |

You want a light sports car with power? Turbo a Miata and call it a day. Less than 2600 lbs. and 250-300 h.p. for cheap money. You'll never be bored behind the wheel either. |

As far as the RS4, not so amazing. At the VIR track magazine test, the standard 335i coupe beat the RS4 lap time be a decent margin, or about $20,000 less. Plus the 335i gets better fuel economy as an added bonus! I enjoy finding RS4 owners that want to try and race me in my sedan!

Checked the data sheets which can be found on the bmw.com page and all numbers below contain 68kg driver, 90% fill of gas and 7kg luggage. So you can compare. In my opinion they should have stayed with the roadster and coupe solution. E85 Z4 3.0si roadster manual 1385kg / automatic 1415kg E85 Z4 3.0si coupé manual 1395kg / automatic 1425kg E89 Z4 3.0si roadster manual 1490kg / automatic 1505kg E89 Z4 3.5si roadster manual 1580kg / automatic (DCT) 1600kg |

I think from the BMW USA web site that the new Z4 will still undercut the 335i with the same engine, so whilst it may not be as svelte as it could be it's still the lightest option for the N54.
But weight aside, a 0-60 of 5.0 with DCT and a top speed of 150mph is not slow and a near 50/50 weight distribution means it will still handle fine. |
