activée .
In the case of
Z4 , the firm is presented with the 3.0-liter engine, which has been updated with a less strict intake manifold and two more pressure turbos. It has 340 hp, 450 Nm (500 Nm with overboost), and goes from 0 to 100 in 4.8 seconds. The technology comes from the engine BMW Twin Turbo gasoline direct injection ( High Precision Injection ).
The Sport automatic gearbox DKG dual clutch gear changes without interrupting the transmission of force. In addition, the driver can choose between fully automatic mode or manual mode.
The changes from the previous model include the recalibration of the electric steering, adaptive suspension that lowers the car 10 mm height, a new set of wheels 18 and 19 inches and an aerodynamic body kit
