Lover of BMW’s zespitter, rejoice. When the replacement of the current Z4, it will just display a nice six-in-line gorgelblok in.

With all the downsizing at BMW in the last few years you might fear that they, like Volvo, everything with more than 4 cylinders to the fire ban, but fortunately it is not yet so far. Except in the next 7 Series (G11) next year, in september at the IAA in Frankfurt is expected, will also be given the Z4 successor with a I6.

The next generation 3.0 six-in-line, which according to the Australian Motoring engine code B58 is good for about 250kW/340 hp and 440Nm. If BMW the weight of the two-seater ToyoBimmer know (press reportedly is the target < 1,400 kg), it is a fun funmobiel.

A Z4M would be even more fun, but we still need to see whether that is in the stars.
