infinitely more fun than anything bmw has to offer currently (or in the past decade).

small, tail-happy, awesome on the track, visceral, simple.

wish i could have had more track time with it.

That's probably pretty true. S54 Z3 M Coupes seem to have hit a floor around $25k and there are a few '06 Z4 M Coupes for under $30k available now. I doubt that either will likely go for much under $20k in the next five years.

With 600 2001-2002 M Coupes and only a few thousand 2006-2008 M Coupes, you're unlikely to see depreciation anything like M3's and other much better selling models have. Even my tame motored 2000 M Coupe continues to have relatively strong resale.

I love the Z4 M Coupe, it's just too hard for me at 6'1" to see out of, and it's not quite as raw as the Z3 M Coupes, but of course it's also more composed and less jittery on a track. It's sort of the essence of an E46 M3 stripped of all the fluff.

Ok cool, good feedback. What do you guys think a 2006 z4m, silver exterior, red interior, medium optioned, 35K mile car is worth?

I always wanted a S54 Clown Shoe. Probably my most favorite BMW behind the 3.0 CSL.

I've always liked the mcoupe especially because you don't see 'em everyday. I really dig this one:
