(continued from above)
The latest Z4 model is characterized by instantaneous response to the
accelerator pedal, fantastic sounds, and a free-revving spirit. The engine
features increased air intake flow and increased boost pressure to release more
power with the same standard of efficiency. The combination of twin low-mass
turbochargers and High Precision direct injection offers an output a
naturally-aspirated engine would only be able to provide through more cylinders
and larger displacement.
The turbocharger system developed for the engine
of the new BMW Z4 sDrive35is maintains a high output throughout the entire
engine speed range. Nominal peak torque is increased to 332 lb-ft from 1,500 rpm
to 4,500 rpm. Maximum output of 335 hp is delivered at 5,900 rpm.
The
Z4 335is's Overboost Function for Athletic Acceleration
The enhanced
engine management system of the BMW Z4 sDrive35is includes an
electronically-controlled overboost function to briefly increase torque under
full load by another 37 lb-ft. This temporary torque peak of 369 lb-ft gives the
car a significant increase in acceleration. The BMW Z4 sDrive35is will complete
the sprint from a standstill to 60 mph in just 4.8 seconds. Top speed of the BMW
Z4 sDrive35is is limited electronically to 155 mph.
M Sport Upgrades
The BMW Z4 sDrive35is includes new M Sport upgrades such as M Aerodynamics
and adaptive M Suspension. The adaptive M Suspension combines a ride-height
reduction of 0.4" with electronically controlled shock
absorbers (Dynamic Damping Control) to improve the vehicle's agility without
compromising ride comfort. The M Sport upgrades emphasize the Z4's athletic
character through aerodynamically optimized exterior features and customized
interior components.
Special 18-inch light-alloy wheels in five-spoke
design round off the sporty character of the Z4 sDrive35is. 19-inch light-alloy
wheels are available as an option. In addition to its unique wheels, the Roadster is further distinguished by a striking front bumper with a matte aluminum
trim bar in each outer air intake, a rear bumper with accentuated surrounds on
the tailpipes, and a rear diffuser finished at top in body color and black
textured surface underneath.
