I know, such a bummer! I'd love a Z4 with a 3.0L V12 making 400 hp and 260 or so lb/ft of torque. It would probably get 7 mpg and cost $100k, but it would sound great! My dad had a Ferrari 330 GTC when I was a kid, with a 4.0L V12 and I still remember the sound of that thing. The 250 cars were only 3.0L V12 and just sound fantastic, too bad no one has continued making small displacement V8 and V12 engines.
I was really hoping that Jaguar would get the F-Type right and do a straight six, but I suppose Jag doesn't have the resources for that and they saddled it with a V6.
