I agree with every point of your Z4 vs. 987S comparison, except that we haven't noticed the weird electric steering as being worse on sunny, hot days (we've had the car since 10/03). Did you have any mechanical issues with the Z4?



Despite the steering issues I would have loved to have kept my Z4 and have both in the garage! forced to choose though...the choice was clear
The steering issue was the only problem I had with the car. many other Z4 owners have reported this issue as well. Mine was also purchased in 10.03, but was a June build date.
Unfortunately now that I have clued you in to the steering problem....I bet you notice it come summer
It manifests itself as a sticky feel. After sitting in the heat for several hours (for some reason it needs to be in dirtect sunlight. Just getting hot in my garage didn't cause a problem) the steering wheel will be reluctant to return to center after taking a curve.
Maybe you don't have this problem...hope not!
