Seems like an old video they just recently released though since prototypes are already on the road and testing.
One of them recently raced a chipped 335i in So. Cal and lost.
Might of sent them back to the engine development department asking, "how did this new Z4 just lose to that 335i Coupe?"
They might suspect it was chipped, or they'll go do more engine development and re dyno test and potentially up the power a bit just in case.
That would be sweet.

I think the most important question has now been answered: it can fit 4 cases of beer!

Will the retractable roof motors make all that noise while opening and closing as seen in the video?
It definitely won't, in a production car there is a lot of sound dampening and the body of the car itself between the motors and your ears.
