3K revs . . . you were cruising Marlon There's the problem right there - you weren't ready . . .
Always impressed by those big diesel 6s - love their 'lift' but they tend to feel their weight when you hit the twisties . . .

1/4 mile 13.7 in the 640d
14.4 in the Z4
To me that's better than the 0-62 dash
Pretty impressive for a big barge, given the facelift Si is no slouch
Still as others have said the 640 would be history once you reached a corner

In sports mode using the auto handbrake it takes off like a scalded cat, no way I could pull away as quick in our Z.

There plenty of sites that cover all these stats if you chuck in a search or 2
Often difficult to compare same engine in different cars in a range as they often have different power characteristics, levels of power, car weight, 2 or 4WD, gear box ratios and final drive ratio, etc.
Made me look up my soon to collect F Type S
0-60 in 4.7 and 1/4 in 12.6 - Not too shabby for a Jaaaag
