I like Z’s too but they’re actually not close at all in pace. The M4 is also about 30 seconds faster around the NRing, also same driver

I do not deny that the M4 is faster. Especially x drive. What Im saying all the time the M4 comp gains really comes from the faster acceleration and extra hp. Lets look at it this way. The z4 in Europe only has around 335whp and 369ft lb of torque. its 6 seconds slower because it literally has over 175hp less and over 120ft lb of torque less than the m4. all im saying is we match hp numbers with the m3/4 and acceleration, maybe throw in x drive so it gets out of corners faster, and we will have equal or better numbers for the z4.
lets look at the a91 supra in the us with 382hp. Throttle House on youtube got .5 seconds faster than the m2 comp on their track, and as far as ive driven both cars, both supra and z4 drive the same and get near exact times.
Why do people get M3/4? Because you want practicality and a longer car with 4 seats. If convertibles were popular and there was a z4m, it would beat the m3/4 for sure if it had the same hp and torque
