2011 BMW Z4 sDrive35is
2011 BMW Z4 sDrive35is: The 335 HP and 332 lb.-ft. of torque from the bi-turbo 3.0 liter in-line 6 is no joke. The Z4 sDrive35is is capable of 0-60 in less than 4.8 seconds. And you definitely feel it too. The acceleration G force actually pins you back against the seat as you engage the Sport+ mode (higher shift points for the 7-speed dual clutch automatic and turns off traction control) and sink that accelerator. The coolest part about driving the Z4 sDrive35is (tired of reading this long-derriere name yet? I’m tired of even just copying and pasting it) is actually rounding corners. The fact that your derriere is sitting right on top of the rear axle definitely helps. But the fact that the BMW engineers tuned the Dynamic Traction Control (DTC) just so that you get to kick out the rear of the car out just enough around the corner is simply awesome.
It even flashes the traction control warning light on the dash at you a few times just to prove that the DTC has given you some leniency to have some German-controlled fun. There’s no noticeable turbo lag, thanks to the twin turbo set up that covers almost the entire rev range. You’re at the next stop light before you can say, “fahrvergnügen.”
