Default Z4 getting new engine?


Is Z4 going to be equipped with new 3.0 liter engines outputting 215HP and 255HP which are being used on new 3 series and named as 2.5 and 3.0 respectively?

If so, Z4 will be quite competitive roadster, since 330i performance (which is relatively heavy) is almost same as S2000 already. I cannot imagine what performance figures may come out of Z4 with those engines.

Thought?

Rumors have it that they'll release an Z4M, and I'd rather see that then a slight boost in the current Z4 lineup which already has a 2, 2.2, 2.5 and 3 liter engine, each having 20hp more or less then their nearest neighbour.

actually the mz4 is all but officially confirmed
it is coming- the only question is what engine will be in it, the 3.2L I6(s54), or a derivitive of the e90 m3's 4.0L v8


btw the Z4 will be getting the N54 in the 2006 models

I heard the MZ4 rumors about two years ago, but that was before the sales of this car tanked. I would hope they would facelift it like they did the 7 Series. Might be interested.
