There are more "M" cars in the showroom at any one time than there are Z4s, and if you ask me, the Z4 is the better looking car. Maybe it's just my dealer, but they just don't push the Z4. I live in Los Angeles, and sometimes a week goes by and I don't see another Z4 on the road. It's actually kind of sad, especially when thinking about the longevity of the model.

Yeah I experience exactly the same here in China. In fact, I have yet to see another 35i or 35is anywhere.
I think the answer is simple though. If you can afford a 35is you can also afford a 7-series. Or if you can afford a 20i you can also easily afford a 5-series. And prestige is important in China. (7 is higher than 4)
And then there is the 335i convertible with 4 seats which costs exactly the same as a Z4 35i here... I think I saw 2 of those before.
