"BMW&amp;#039;s Z4 sDrive35i 2-seat coupe produces a healthy 300 bhp and 300 lb.-ft. of torque from its twin-turbo inline-6 engine. But for those who want more, BMW has fitted the 335is&amp;#039; uprated N54 engine into the Z4, along with their 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. The upshot? The sDrive35is (note that last &amp;quot;s&amp;quot;) makes 335 bhp and 332 lb.-ft. of torque with an overboost capability pumping out an additional 37 lb.-ft. of torque for short periods of time.   Visible cues between trims are few, but mufflers that accentuate the low-end snarl of the engine make sure they sound different. We like the DCT gearbox, but not the steering-wheel-mounted thumb buttons and paddles. Thankfully, the standard shift-by-wire lever is configured appropriately: Push for downshifts and pull for upshifts.   Steering and suspension felt restrained, with front and rear suspension setups that did not jibe. The front strut-type suspension was taut, but the rear multilink felt sluggish. In Sport+ mode, the Adaptive M Suspension kept the tires on the road on bumpy sweepers, but patience was required through fast transitions, like the slalom, as the front end would point its way around the cones while the rear seemed slow to transition.   A power retractable hardtop makes the Z4 a genuine allrounder; it even has a decent-size trunk (when the top is up). Even with its deficiencies, there&amp;#039;s no better feeling than squeezing on the power with the top down through a set of fast bends in the road.
