As I really wanted a sports car versus GT that ruled out the M3. While I like the Cayman S a lot I think the rare Z4 M has a coolness factor to it that is hard to match. It's the most fun car I've ever driven so I'm pretty happy with my choice. BTW, I did so serious autobahn hauling today. Throttle response is amazing even in top gear at speeds over 140 mph. I have 4,000 miles in a 135i. There's really no comparison when it comes to the thrills of driving. I'm sure the Cayman S would have been a great car to own and operate as well. Maybe some day...

I remember you now. You used to have a different username on 1addicts, didn't you? I agree with what you said in this post. Throttle response turbocharged vs NA is very different. I've never driven a Z4 M, but did have a chance to test a Cayman S and loved it. How a car feels is strictly subjective and if you like your Z4 M then you made the right choice
But keep in mind that someone could say the exact opposite and neither of answers is wrong - so there is no point of arguing who is right...
