Coming in Fall: BMW 4-cyl Turbo N20 Motor in Z4 20i / 28i & Pure Balance Design Pkg
BIMMERPOST NEWS Coming in Fall: BMW 4-cyl Turbo N20 Motor in Z4 20i / 28i & Pure Balance Design Pkg BMW Z4: now with even greater efficiency and Pure Balance design package. The BMW Z4 will line up from autumn 2011 with the promise of further advances in driving pleasure and efficiency. Two newly developed four-cylinder petrol engines with BMW TwinPower Turbo technology will be available for the Roadster. The 2.0-litre units for the BMW Z4 sDrive20i and BMW Z4 sDrive28i develop 135 kW/184 hp and 180 kW/245 hp respectively, and can team up – as an option – with an eight-speed automatic transmission. All variants of the BMW Z4 will now be fitted as standard with Servotronic speed-sensitive power steering, and the BMW Z4 sDrive35i will also feature 18-inch light-alloy wheels in multispoke design. Added to which, the appeal of the successful two-seater rises still further with the introduction of the new Design Pure Balance equipment package, which features exclusive Mineral White color option and extensive leather interior with the new Cohiba Brown shade and contrasting Lotus White stitching providing attractive highlights. The package is topped off by further leather trim elements in Black, with stitching in Umbra, plus Fineline Anthracite wood and standard-fitted sports seats. PRESS RELEASE

The turbo 4 replaces all of the normally aspirated 6 cylinder variants.

During the model year the Z4 is a slow seller at less than 300 per month. This is roughly the same as Boxster/Cayman. Yep, both brands are expensive. The American public is much more sensitive to high prices for Euro produced cars. Look how much VW is asking for Am produced Passats- a full 8K less. German workers earn substantially more than counterparts in America.

If you look at Benz & Audi, the SLK & TT are slightly more expensive than Z4. So, with such power & hard top & driving dynamic, Z4 is the best buy in it's class. You can't use Opel or Japanese counterparts to compare the price of BMW...

The downsize of the engines is a plus for the sales on European market due to the fact of lower taxes. Also the over all performances are better than previous models.
