BMW said this new Z4 will be lighter than its predecessor.

But the weight of the G29 30i is the same (1490kg) as the E89 28i (1495kg) - comparing both with automatic transmission.

So where did the weight savings of the softop go?

I owned a E89 23i (not available in the US market) and it had a NA 2.5L straight-6, it weighed 1480kg. Which is exactly the same as the current G29 20i and both have very similair performance stats (identical 0-62).

But I thought sacrificing the hard folding top for a soft top would bring the weight down significantly.
