The BMW Z5

The BMW Z5 is a car that is hoping to hit the showrooms by 2017. The Z5 will have a font mounted engine but will be more centrally mounted in the car for better weight distribution across the axles.

The car is going to be made with lightweight materials with a target weight for 3300lbs. The Z5 will be a 2.0 litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine with a three stage power system.

The engine will house a ZF 6-speed manual gearbox, or an 8-speed automatic.

There are rumours going around that there could be an Z5M coming out soon after which would contain a 425-hp turbo six, which is currently being housed, under the bonnet of the new 2015 M3 and M4.
