The Z4 2.5-liter BMW engine, with 184 horsepower and 175 lb-ft. of torque. This “entry-level” power plant provides performance that’s anything but entry-level. The official power and torque ratings are unchanged from earlier versions of this engine, fine-tuning of the intake system and a new exhaust system enhance its power band at low to medium speeds.

In a June 13, 2001 comparison test of the BMW Z4 against key V-6 competitors: “The BMW engine is in a class by itself, with six cylinders in a row in a time of V-6s. Inline sixes take up a lot of space and are relatively costly, but in terms of balance they are the ideal engine type. The BMW proves this convincingly: light-footed, vibration-free revving, spontaneous response, and a sound that is not quiet but is outright pleasant.”

In the Z4 2.5i with manual shift, this unit delivers 0 to 60 mph in 7.1 sec. and achieves the amazing top speed of 146 mph. Its projected EPA mileage ratings are impressive too: 21-mpg city/28-mpg highway with the optional automatic transmission, 20/28 with the 5-speed manual.
