really good looking car! going to come with the twin turbo inline 6 in the 135, 335, and 535!

 

A Z4 M Coupe would make a fine replacement for my rx-8. Still liked the old Z3 M Coupe more though. Clown shoe FTW.

 

Close to 3500lbs for the 6-speed turbo? What a porker. And why does the NA model apparently have better aero management than the turbo?

 

Damn that last picture is amazing!

 

I love the way it looks. But wtf is up with the camber in the rear wheels??

There are more pics there. Look at the 2nd pic and the 2nd to last pic.

 

i was going to say i found my next car.

BUT JESUS F%CKING CHRIST!! 4200 POUNDS???

they need to talk to mazda and learn a few lessons about weight reduction.

edit: man that pisses me off. wtf bmw! if it was around 3000lbs, i would have bought it the second i could afford it. :/ wtf bmw.

 

Better looking than the last version. What is up with this horrible and confusing nomenclature with the new Z4 sDrive30i or 35i??

 

That's GVW of course, but 3500 curb weight for a vehicle in this class seems excessive. I'll be curious to see reviews, especially after the flaming Jeremy Clarkson gave the current Z4.

And "sDrive" is pretty stupid. Subaru already uses that name for their ECU mapping. I'm surprised they haven't had an issue with that...

 

It would be bad if it were 4200, but if you checked your math, you would see it is only about 3500 :p (which is still a pig, especially for a roadster)

 

3500lbs is still excessive. put me in there and a passenger. and you're looking at 3800lbs hurtling down the road.

why is mazda the only manufacturer dedicated to reducing weight? its such a NO BRAINER...

 

The Z dropped a few lbs. The vette is pretty ligthweight. And IIRC, the RX8 gained weight for 09...

 

Besides, the other companies have the power, especially tq, to make up for it.

 

According to Car and Driver, the R3 is the same weight as the 07 Grand Touring.

 

Looks like you're right. Either way, Mazda isn't the only one cutting weight.

 

Cutting weight is important. It gives better mpg's which is something all automaker's are looking out for.

 

3200 - 3500 lbs... thats porky!

Much nicer looking than the last one but not as beautiful as the expensive Z8.

 

I think it looks brilliant. Has a little viper coupe'ishness to it when the top is up. I'll just dream of a CSL coupe version...mmmmmm

 

I drove a Z8 w/red leather interior. It has to be one of my absolute favorite cars from styling to driving feel.

 

it looks like a lincoln mks to me

 

Uhh....

I think you're alone on that one...

 

It's called the SI-Drive you Subaru infidel!

 

wrong pic... my last pic was an mkz...


the front grill and headlights look like the mks to me.

 

I still think the new Z4 looks like a baby Mclaren SLR. That's a compliment.


Hehe here's my brothers car... I like them too.
