A specifically tuned exhaust system is promised to provide a “deep rumble with a focus on the low-frequency sound range.”BMW Z4 2011Through their concept alone, the turbochargers likewise help to reduce fuel consumption. Since the turbines are made of special steel particularly resistant to high temperatures and therefore able to cope with temperatures of more than 1,000° C or 1,830° F, there is no need for an increased fuel supply with its cooling effect. Particularly under full load, this ensures a significant advantagein fuel economy.BMW Z4 2011
