The Z4 3.0si Coupé is quite close to the advertised 5.7s at around little over 5.6s (To differentiate it from the 130i with the same engine at same power rating: N54B30 @ 195kW/315Nm and 45kg (100lbs) more weight, the 130i is advertised as being 6.1s 0-100, but in actuality it will do it at 5.63s stock.) - both also have same gearboxes, same gear ratios and same final drive ratio.

The Z4 M Coupé does closer to about 4.5-4.7s in real life. I test drove it last fall against a E39 M5 that was advertised at 5.4s 0-100 in it's time, and the Z4 left the M5 almost like a stick in shit... but then at 140km/h the M5 started catching up, due to it's 500Nm V8... But the early race was very decisively Z4MC's.

Best regards,
