too heavy! for an inline 6 with a twin turbo i think the guy says??
with only 300 hp isnt enough for an engine like that in a car that weighs that much

Another misinformed person. The N54 is underrated from the factory. Its been proven by countless publications. 0 to 60mph in the 335i is 4.8sec 1/4mi in 13.3sec
The 335i is a bit heavier and wont have new technologies BMW will introduce in the Z4. Do a quick search of what $600 piggy back in mods get you.
Its very possible the Z4 can be a 12sec car from the factory. The new 750i sedan already is with its 4000lb+ curbweight and measly 400hp 450tq twin turbo V8.
I'm no stranger to what the majority turbo'ed S2000's can do and the costs it takes to get them there.

All I can say about this car is, I can't wait to see the guys face after i STOMP all over his $50k car with my turbo s2k. Also wtf is a twin turbo 3 liter only making 300 hp?
Oh yeah, the Supra stock was only 320hp (another inline 6 TT car), sooooo we all know what the 2JZ is capable of because it was bottled up so much from the factory. Part of the reason BMW didn't put too much power into this car from the factory is because they don't want it to infringe on the M series market. It is all about business and marketing cars. I spend $900 on a Vishnu V3 and I get roughly 375whp and 400+ ft lbs of torque. I think that's a pretty good deal.

Honestly, the guy with the Z4 wouldn't care. I would really hope somebody with a Turbo S could beat my completely stock car. You can't start the whole well my modded car vs stock car crap up. That argument is very tired and holds no validity. That's like me saying I can't wait to see the look on your face when all I do is chip my car and you're like WTF I just lost to this heavy pig. Really who cares, there will always be someone faster, especially when you bring into play the whole aftermarket into it. I loved my S2k, it was a phenomenal car and very fun to drive. But let's be real here, the S is nearly 10 years old, it's outperformed by a lot of cars these days stock to stock. I would still own another one though, it's just a great car.

Umm yea I think the guy would care when i put a beating down on his shiny new bmw with my $15K ten year old s2k. But then again maybe he wouldnt care because his interior is soo nice, but not likley.
