Some things I miss about the Z4 already:
--Cupholders. Maybe the automatic M3s are different, but my manual transmission model's cupholders are almost unusable.
--Sound system. I think the Z4's HK system is clearer, maybe because the tweeters are closer to your ear. But I have made no attempt to change any of the M3's settings. So, who knows which is better.
--Trunk lid. Even though the M3 has a power tailgate, it takes a little time to open. Opening the Z4's manual lid was just faster.
--The Z4 was so much cheaper

Nice one - how are the seats working out for you?
Thoughts:
Auto cupholders are a winner as they move infront of the shifter.
Closed
Open
Wear Bluetooth hearing aids tied into the car so both sound pretty much the same.
Power trunk lid is open by the time I get to it. That said with the convertible the Z4 has better trunk access.
Z4 was bought when there still were discounts, rebates, unused lease miles, finance at 0.9% lease & a comped weekend at the performance driving school. M4C was MSRP less the BMWCCA rebate & 0.9% loan. Spread was about $30,000 in favor of the Z4.
