BMW Z4 M35i Debuting at 2013 Detroit Auto Show
The BMW Z4 Roadster will get its own M Performance variant in the form of a Z4 M35i, set to debut at next year’s Detroit Auto Show. Powered by a 3.0-liter, straight-six that’s also found in the M135i, the Z4 M35i will sport 320-hp and 332 lb-ft of torque.
The new Z4 M35i will replace the current Z4 sDrive35is model and will be a welcomed addition to the Z4 lineup. Along with the upgraded performance offered with the TwinScroll turbocharged engine, the Z4 M35i will get the standard M Performance upgrades which includes a more aggressive front bumper, side skirts, and rear bumper. The suspension will undoubtedly be sportier along with a stiffer M-tuned chassis.
The updated model will also get new LED lights, side-mirror signal indicators, and an M-exclusive color.
