Ran into an M car in my M3 -- what model was it?

Monday night around 7ish I saw a car that I didn’t know. Here is what I know:

1) It had an ///M symbol on the left hand side of the rear.
2) It looked like a 2-seater
3) It had an extremely long front end.
4) It had some sort of hood scoop that appeared stock.
5) It looked very new.
6) I think it was blue-ish if that helps.
7) It was a convertible

My best guess is that it was a Z4 M with an aftermarket hood scoop (and/or I just imagined the hood scoop). Any other ideas?

I think the Z4M is the only M car that put the 'M' badge on the left hand side

you need to go the track with your M3 if you "floor" it just because other people cut in front of you. chill out, drink or go have sex-

That means you're driving too slow.

Z4M runs low 13's on the ancient stock ContiSportContact (1!). Someone over at the ZPost section ran a 12.9 @ 108 or 109, or claimed to, on his stock (except tires?) M coupe.

It's slower than the e9x M3 but below 100 mph probably not a massive difference.
