2009 Bmw Z4 engine

It was pretty obvious to (hopefully) everyone that with the release of the 335i and the N54 engine that the new Z4 would have the same 3.0TT engine.
I'm guess the 328i engine will have the 3.0i designation on the side and the Z4 with the N54 engine will have 3.5i on the side.

So for a bit of fun let's guess what the weight of the new Z4 will be.

With the outgoing models Z4 3.0si hardtop coupe was listed as 3108 lbs, I would HOPE the new car being marginally larger would not be more than 3225 lbs.
But I'm going to guess it's going to be in the 3240-3280 lbs range. (the retractable hardtop version will add 200 lbs I'm sure).

Gotta say with 3250 lbs and the N54 engine that would make for an awefully quick stock car. Pretty much equal in straight line performance to a 335i with the SSTT on it.
13.0 @ 108 stock would be a reality.

Imagine that car with the PROcede v3 or JB3 on let alone DP's, Intake, exhaust, FMIC and on race gas.
And then the handling would be amazing at that.
Hopefully the 3.5i version won't be more than $2-3K more than the outgoing 3.0si.
Hello sports car.
