I'm trying to decide which Z4 is best for me. e85 M Roadster vs e89 sDrive30i - these two are pretty close on the used car market. Anyone have an opinion on which would be the better car?

I am pretty performance oriented but worry about the maintenance on the M and might be able to find a good certified e89 which would relieve a lot of stress.

I guess my question boils down to how close can the e89 sDrive30i come to the M on performance considering I would only be interested in getting a manual transmission car? I know it will be less, but is the performance difference worth the increased upkeep?

I have driven the M Roadster and absolutely loved it.

Thanks
