I stopped by to visit some buddies who work at the local BMW dealer. They had 2 Z4M's on display - one very beautiful Interlagos Blue model, the other an Imola Red.

The Imola Red vehicle was fully optioned including NAV - MSRP was $62K+ MSRP. Parked next to it was an '06 M3 Coupe, Competition Package, Premium, Nav, 6-speed for $59K MSRP. Comparing the two side by side, I'm not seeing why the Z4M is priced higher than the M3.

I haven't driven the Z4M yet, but I'm beginning to think it's overpriced. Has anyone else looked at the Z4M's yet and come up with the same notion?
