AWD helps the X3M40i a lot in the 0-60. I would imagine the Z4 pulls away past that.
Also just weight. The M4 is what, a half second faster but also RWD. I suspect if you dropped the M4's power plant into the Z4 (or even just upgraded since they're both turbo 3.0 i6 engines) it wouldn't help that number much. The M4 is heavier (I assume, didn't see weight numbers on the Z4).

Still probably tons of fun on the track and has a much better long game.
Did you just argue that more weight makes cars quicker? Just checking.
