New 2009 2010 BMW Z4 - ZPOST - View Single Post - Views of those who moved from an (e86, M or Si) to an e89

So I am contemplating a move back into a Z4 from my 2014 CS. I had a Z4C 3.0SI prior to the CS and find myself longing for the intangible attachment I had to that Z4C that I lack for the CS. The CS is fast, fun and beautiful, but it just doesn't fit or stir me in the same way.

One issue I face though is that Z4C's, M or Si, are getting a big long in the tooth, the newest being a 2008 and I'd rather have a car newer than that.

I am interested in hearing from owners of E86's m or Si who have gone to an Sdrive 3.0i e89. I am not a fan of turbos and I loved the n52 in my Z4C, hence my focus on Sdrive 3.0's. I need to drive one myself of course, but a manual sdrive 3.0 is an amazingly rare creature.

So for those who have made the switch, how does an Sdrive 3.0 compare to an E86 coupe M or Si?
