Obioban We've been on track together with my Z4M Coupe, and I think we even spoke about this in person. During basic street driving, I agree with you. However, the Z4M handling shines when driven hard. My opinion is that it handles better than an E46 M3 (at least for my driving style). It rotates much quicker, OEM brakes are excellent, and is more responsive. I even prefer the driving dynamics over my fully prepared E36 M3 race car.
From an aftermarket perspective, suspension options from JRZ and MCS are all you need. Everything you could want to do to the car is readily available, but it doesn't need much to outperform any heavily track-prepped E46 M3. Ask me how I know.
Good luck with the Z4M search!
