It doesn't change the fact that the S2000 is a better handling car than the Z4M and would have no problem hanging or beating the regular Z4 on any track.
Better gearbox? Check.

More fun? Sure.

But better handling than a Z4M? Ehhh... I don't know if I'd dare go that far.

It might handle a bit better than a regular stock non-M Z4 roadster, but it rides quite a bit harsher as well. I don't think the suspension setup is anywhere near comparable in terms of everyday usability. And the non-M Z4 Coupe will still eat one, IMO.
