The ZF8 is no joke, especially since its still a slushbox.
It makes me wonder if there are any gear ratio changes between the Z4, M340i, and A90 considering the A90 had a unique transmission in the RealOem leaks (ZF8HP51 vs ZF8HP50). Theres plenty of room to fiddle around with 8 gears to meet...
(I know this is a Z4 thread but I think this info is still relevant to show the performance capabilities of the 40i trim)
BMW claims the new M340i will do 0-60mph in 4.2s. BMWBlog just posted an article with a video of the car doing a 0-200km/h with launch control and claims it would have hit...
The 440i doesnt have 382hp confirmed, the Supra doesnt have 330hp confirmed, and we dont know the supra price though so those figures actually mean nothing as of today.
We have opposite opinions on what nice means, It is nicer inside than its competition especially for its price.
Numbers mean...
Supra has a dozen different definitions though. Im sure my grandmother has a different definition of the name as she purchased her MK3 because it was a smooth ride and could remove the top
? 440i has a b58 as well
The GTR is no longer the performance bargain it was 10 years ago. People are...
While I agree theres a very slim chance this guy has even an ounce of credibility, imo he would have shot higher than 382 and mentioned a 6 speed if it wanted to create a buzz lol
In that post, you were clear as mud.
I am simply explaining the 2 different HP 6 cylinder outputs (base vs track) and how they correspond with 2 different versions of the B58 heads (integrated manifold vs traditional) in terms of power
Why can't it be both? The head shown in the RealOem leaks, in spy photos, and according to VIN leaks all cross reference the X5 or look like the X5 head aka the 330-340hp version
For those who dont know where those numbers are coming from, there are 2 different versions of the updated B58

I am referring to the BMW B58 heads, one with the integrated exhaust manifold like in the X5, and the one with the traditonal style in the Z4, not the supposed Yahama/TRD/GR head
