For me Z4 is more fun in normal driving, double car characteristics, a more elegant car, better quality in and out and has THE engine. I chose the 1M over it because it really feels more special to me, a manual only car, very old school, has the chassis/suspension to match the engine and gives you more practicality with back seats (really useable) and bigger trunk. Plus it costs less. I couldn't have the both.

The 1M does feels cheap and dated (vastly so in some areas) in comparison to the Z4 but the 1M is better screwed together.
I've had serious build issues with both my E89's on arrival (especially the paint).
Perhaps I have just been unlucky. All our other BMWs have been flawless.
Still the Z4 is by far my fav car. I love driving it so much and as I have a disability the daft push pull gear change is perfect for me.
Apart from droping £200,000 on a 458 Spider there is nothing else that comes close for me.
