i have a 03 touring auto, and i smoked a black 3.0 z4 on the highway. funny part is the guy got off the highway after me, and then raced me from a light, i beat him again and then the psycho followed me all the way to my house, rolled down his window and slowly rolled by staring at me.

there is no way in hell a z33 can beat a z3. its bmw for christ sakes.
one bmw horse ='s 2 nissan horse. their engines are made from titanium and it has higher airflow. to top it all off, the z3's only weigh 2100lbs with a full tank of gas! compare that with z33's 3200 curb weight...

Why do people always bring up price? A car's a car. If you can afford a more expensive one, fine. If you can't get the best you can afford..
On to the origional topic..
The new 3.0 motor used in the 2006 z4 has 255 hp and hits high 13's like the 350z. They're very similar in acceleration performance. The M roadster is obviously much faster.

I already gave the answer.. M doesn't even count.. it's not a Z4 anymore..
Z33 >= Z = Z4 > Z3 in terms of 1/4 but first 3 are usually a driver's race

but but but..
They're the same cars with a different motor and better tuned suspensions..
The z4 2.5 and z4 3.0 have similar differences.. but they're both still Z4's..
So in essence, what makes the M roadster any more different from the z4 3.0 than the z4 2.5 is from the 3.0? Hmmmm??? Besides the name and badge of course..
Sorry, I'm dragging this OT.

All I'm saying is, that's not something that we're comparing to, so quit being difficult. we're comparing Z4 and 350Z.. plus.. we all kno M (not Z4 M.. just M) is superior to the 350Z anyway so why even bother? It's like comparing srt4 to a civic.. gee.. do we really need to say it out loud? Quit being difficult.
YEAH!! i won against the Z4!! we just raced lunch time.. well, we almost raced.. he's so dumb, dont even know how to turn off his traction control.. he could not take off right, first the Z4 would launch when floored and then after half a yard the throttle cuts off with just a little tire slip.. by the time his car gains traction and power, i'm gone.. finally he gave up and i told him how to turn his DSC off doesnt want to race me anymore.. damn it felt good!
doesnt want to race me anymore.. damn it felt good!

the Z3 would get destroyed by a Z33 because the Z33 can corner better and weighs less.
the Z32 can destroy a Z4m becuuase the z32 can have upwards of 500horses to the front wheels just from intake/exhaust.
the Z33 would absolutely own a Z4 because the Z4 weighs about 4100lbs and is rear wheel drive. FWD > RWD on the dirt.
