BMW SUV Article

Okay, its not about a Z4, but you have to love any article that says:

"I don’t care if it’s turbocharged or not, whether it’s powering a long, lithe Z4 or the boxy X3 I’m driving. I don’t even care how much power it’s pumping out (recent versions have boasted as little as 200 horsepower and it really doesn’t dull their allure all that much), if there are six pistons flailing about in a straight line, they’ll sing like chorus girls."

"Poodle around and the eight-speed short-shifts its way to fuel economy improvement, the gearing just giving a hint of those aforementioned aural delights. Light it up, however, and it will kick down two gears and let the engine rev, which, while destroying any fuel economy advantage, lets the 3.0L’s internal Aretha Franklin loose."

Clearly he hears what I hear...

Thanks for sharing.
