Just reading about the new 3.0 litre petrol engine BMW have brought out, first application in the 6 series, but over the older Z4 version including new things like electric water pump (reduces mechanical power loss by 80%) & new second generation of variable VANOS, this engine knocks outs 255BHP (with a red line of 7000rpm) & 221lb/ft of torque from 2500rpm, up from 231 Bhp of the current 3.0 litre yet is 30+ kilos lighter, if BMW do put it in the Z4 I can see that handing out spankings as well.

Could the Honda 2.2 not be lightened, and powered to be a TypeR??


edit:

In the Auto 1555Kg 6 series this engine shoves it along to 62mph in 6.5seconds
Limited to 155 mph & still gets 31.5mpg

Put it in the manual Z4 and a roadster weighing ~1300Kg.......
