Nice ..but .. well .. kind of crazy to put a big V 8 in a nice small car .. I think the 343 HP Stock M3 engine will be perfect on Z 4 ! :D

Theres probably no more room to squeeze one in :D
Whats crazy is the fact that its weight distribution is pretty much the same ratio as it was stock.

... till it blows! :)

V8 small sports cars rule. It's a winning formula. The Shelby Cobra started the trend. With the new SLK55 getting a V8, let's hope BMW ups the ante with their Z4 based M roadster by stuffing in the V8 like the Hartage in the video.

I know .. I like the Power from V8 too .. but .. they are just not as smooth as Straight 6 ... those V8 in E500, E55 (none super charger) and 545i are super smooth ... :thumbsup:

Anyway, looking forward to try out the new C55 and SLK55 soon ! :D
