The Z4M is still my favorite car ever, but the engine is seriously a dog now. Why would you not prefer the I6 turbo just out of curiosity?
It's not that I don't love cheap speed but throwing a N55 in everything it's makes it lose it's appeal, plus the N54 so far is far more tuneable.
The S54 and E85/6 Z4M has a special place in my heart just because what it was. I love my 1M don't get me wrong but I hate seeing all cars use the same N55, If that makes sense. It just isn't as enthusiast friendly as the N54.
