"Channeling the engine's added reserves back to the rear wheels is BMW's 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. It's a little hesitant around town" - Wrong, it's smoother than auto tranny

"For added entertainment and a smoother transition when closing down hard into corners, the new gearbox also introduces a hearty blip of the throttle on downchanges." - Wrong, the current Z has a hearty blip already on downshifts

"The sDrive35iS sits 10mm lower than other Z4 models and gets beefed-up anti-roll bars with firmer springs and noticeably stiffer electronically controlled dampers." - Wrong, with the sport package you already have 10mm lower and beefed up anti roll bars with firmer springs and stiffer ddc.
its I think a classic example of going over the top on the "latest, greatest". To be honest, I dont think it looks much better, and I like the original wheels either the multi spokes or the 19's. From what I understand you can add a chip to get the few extra horsepower if you really wanted it, and its a ton more money. So it really doesnt add up in my book.
