How do you know its not gonna be fast?
There is a 3L i6 turbo version coming, probably the same engine as the m240i.
Who knows how much power that is going to have when it comes out in august or so.
The new z4 m40i will be focusing onto its competetion, being the boxster s (350hp), the slc 43amg (367hp), and the TT rs (400hp), not only on power but also on how they handle on track/twisty roads.
Indeed its taking them a long time. The e89 went out of production 2 years ago after an already longer production run than usual on platforms like these. That shows how bad the market is for cars like this these days, referring to the truely appaling sales figures the e89 had in the US (usually the key market for cars like these) especially at the end of its cycle. (bmw probably would have skipped the idea alltogheter if they couldnt team up with toyota)
