If you accept more weight is a requirement with modern cars, then BMW won't make it a priority. I say continue the conversation around unnecessary bloat, especially in a two seater sports car. |

I bet we see this incorporated more across the board throughout future applications.

Probably not. They went away from it because it provided no real advantage; Especially in the US due to our poor fuel quality.

Seems to depend on the color more than any other car IMHO. Love front view in the matte grey. Hate it in red.

I have a low mileage E85 Z4 3.0si which is long paid for, in great shape and makes 255 hp like the new Z4 does in 30i trim. But my car has the sweet N52 inline six motor, whereas the new car has one of those awful sounding 4 bangers. I know the new car has lots of features and improvements over mine, but I'm really struggling to justify the expense of ever replacing it with a G29.
Its particularly problematic for Canadians. If you want to stay in a straight six engine, that means the M40i or 40i. With Canadian pricing, after taxes are applied, the difference between the final price and six figures won't be enough to buy you a pizza and a case of beer on the drive home. I'm therefore expecting Canadian sales figures for this car to be an abject failure.

Miata! The answer to the convertible roadster question is always Miata! The Z4 looks great, but you could get two Miatas for one m30i, or three Miatas for the m40i. I'm thinking the Z4 will be very competitive with the boxster though.

Oh wow F me. I honestly didn't put 2 and 2 together. So what are they typically adding to the curb to get the gross?

Not sure - some formula that has to do with the safest amount of weight the brakes can handle, maybe the suspension too I guess.
