Having just found this part of the forum after years of BMW's ... For what it is worth I had a Z4M Roadster in the UK and hated the gearbox. It lasted 9 months - but then I was driving it in traffic a lot and that ruined the fun. Given the opportunity to hammer it the car was great ! I have moved to a Z4 35is and the difference is huge !!
The 35is is quicker, easier to drive and better made. It is easier to tune as has been mentioned and in the UK can be taken to 402bhp with a remap. The exhaust is awesome too. Far better than the 35i but in no way intrusive.
I loved the looks of my Z4M in blue and the engine ... but not the driving experience due to the box.
The only downside I see the the 35iS is the weight. The car feels heavy and more of a cruiser than the Z4M R.
