I rode in Kam's Z4M once and liked its power delivery a lot, but it seemed pretty weird on corner entry (though could have been driving style, setup, etc). They would have to drop a bit more in price, but I tend to like the ugly duckling type cars.

I drove a stock BRZ a while back. It was one of the most fun cars I've driven, despite the engine. It's handling reminded me of a base Cayman, even more chuckable just plain fun. It's not ideal for me because of power/NVH/4-cylinder but man is it fun a chassis. I've driven miatas a few times, I've never liked them the way I liked an RX8 or a BRZ which are memorable. I have not tried the ND.
I have only passing experience with the Z4M. I have owned cars that "bracket" it, the 06 Cayman S and the e46 m3 .I don't see the point of the Z4M for me.
In the z4 line, my favorite was the z4 3.0si with the 255hp engine, but not the coupe which was an afterthought to the z4.
