Though it sounds good a V8 Z4 M would be 100k, and lets face it this car isnt in the SL class league. What is needed is to create a z5/6 what ever to face off with the SL and dump the 4.4ltt engine in it.
E46 M3 and E85/6 Z4M were around the same price, so there is some precedent for the Z to share the M3 motor at the same cost. USD$65k-$70k Z4M with the V8 I think would have sold like hotcakes

Opinions vary obviously, but I think the E89 Z4 needs so much more than a software flash to be an M car.
