Inscrutably dubbed Z4 sDrive35is (we&#8217;re guessing you can hit extralegal speeds by the time you successfully spit out its name), the new model features a revised twin-turbo 3.0-liter inline-six that spits out 340 horsepower and 332 pound-feet of torque, with an overboost function capable of a momentary bump up to 369 torques. Paired with BMW&#8217;s seven-speed Sport Automatic dual-clutch transmission, the drivetrain is good for 0-62 miles-per-hour in in 4.8 seconds.<\/p>\n<p>Additional alterations include a ride height that&#8217;s lowered by 10 millimeters thanks to the adaptive M suspension, a revamped front fascia with matte aluminum trim bars, Oxide Silver mirror caps, and 19-inch alloys among other niceties &#8211; you can check out the complete roster of changes by checking out the press release after the jump.<\/p>\n<p>M badges or no, we want one.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<div>\n<p><strong>Gallery: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/2011-bmw-z4-sdrive35is-at-detroit-auto-show\/low\/\">2011 BMW Z4 sDrive35is at Detroit Auto Show<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/2011-bmw-z4-sdrive35is-at-detroit-auto-show\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.stoth.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/bacd5_bmwz4335i---01_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/2011-bmw-z4-sdrive35is-at-detroit-auto-show\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.stoth.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/bacd5_bmwz4335i---02_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/2011-bmw-z4-sdrive35is-at-detroit-auto-show\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.stoth.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/bacd5_bmwz4335i---03_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/2011-bmw-z4-sdrive35is-at-detroit-auto-show\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.stoth.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/bacd5_bmwz4335i---04_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/2011-bmw-z4-sdrive35is-at-detroit-auto-show\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.stoth.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/bacd5_bmwz4335i---05_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<div>\n<p><strong>Gallery: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/2011-bmw-z4-sdrive35is\/low\/\">2011 BMW Z4 sDrive35is<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/2011-bmw-z4-sdrive35is\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.stoth.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/bacd5_p90054024_highres_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/2011-bmw-z4-sdrive35is\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.stoth.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/bacd5_p90054023_highres_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/2011-bmw-z4-sdrive35is\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.stoth.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/bacd5_p90054026_highres_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/2011-bmw-z4-sdrive35is\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.stoth.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/bacd5_p90054017_highres_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/2011-bmw-z4-sdrive35is\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.stoth.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/bacd5_p90054019_highres_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>\n[Source: BMW]<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2010\/01\/12\/detroit-2010-bmw-z4-sdrive35is-looks-far-more-entertaining-than\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Continue reading <em>Detroit 2010: BMW Z4 sDrive35is looks far more entertaining than its name<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2010\/01\/12\/detroit-2010-bmw-z4-sdrive35is-looks-far-more-entertaining-than\/\">Detroit 2010: BMW Z4 sDrive35is looks far more entertaining than its name<\/a> originally appeared on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\">Autoblog<\/a> on Tue, 12 Jan 2010 10:28:00 EST.
