BMW’s classic roadster enters the 2012 model year as the first US model to receive BMW’s all-new TwinPower Turbo four-cylinder engine. The new 2.0-liter TwinPower Turbo 4-Cylinder will first power the Z4 sDrive28i that will arrive in this fall. Like the company’s latest TwinPower Turbo 3.0-liter turbo inline-6, the new 2.0-liter engine combines high-pressure direct-injection and BMW’s VALVETRONIC intake control (hence the name: TwinPower) with a forced induction system consisting of a single twin-scroll turbocharger. With 240 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque, it offers more power and torque than BMW’s normally aspirated 3.0-liter inline-6 that it replaces in the Z4 sDrive30i. The Z4 sDrive35i with its twin-turbo inline six continues for 2012 as does the top-of the-line Z4 sDrive35is.

Nice job on the video – keep up the good work!
Although it’s a four cylinder, this new Z4 has the sound one would like to hear in a roadster.
