2012 328i 5.9 / 7.1s [under reserve, but should be similar as the same-weight Z4 N20 that has also a 0-60mph of 5.9s]
2012 Camry V6 5.8 / 6.1s

I am not surprised of the lazy 5-60mph of the Z4 N20; it reflects my experience with the N20 8-sp. I test drove.

Just stating the facts.
You have it backwards fuel efficiency is the target not low fuel cost. If you buy a Volt for 40k and brag that you only spent $0 on gas then you are justifying your toy to the guy who bot a Chevy Cruze and spent half for the car and $1500 a year on gas.
Please show me a link to the article where the Z4 N20 does 5-60 in 7.1, I'm interested in reading this article please.
