The Z4 (382hp/3.9 0-60) is more powerful & quicker than Supra (335hp/4.1 0-60)

The Euro M40i has the same 335hp(due to particulate filters), so it can’t be quicker in Europe as the Z4 weighs more.

Why do all other publications quote 4.4 sec for Z4 M40i?

it's likely the US Z4 that does 3.9 and that's not shocking at all given it has a 50hp advantage over the A90.

it is a little strange however given the Z4 weighs 50lbs more than the Supra...
Do you know if the Euro Supra is getting the gas particulate filters? Find it odd the how the Z4 M40i has 335hp in Euro market and US market gets 382hp(minus the filters). While the Supra has the same 335hp in both markets.

not sure unfortunately, but as per usual I definitely have more questions lol.

logically speaking, if we assume the US car has the filter removed that would lead me to believe that the EU car does not have 335hp and in fact has 280hp, but I think it's been confirmed that the Euro A90 has the 335hp right?

If the EU A90 has 335hp, then I wonder if the US model is pushing less boost to match the EU figures.
