As far as the poster that keeps harping on the fuel pump issue. That was 08/09 models and the N54 engine. This is the N55, with a new dual clutch tranny and its the 1M with

lsd, dual exhaust, tune and other goodies. The C&D article is rittled with misinfo and there's still things bmw hasn't revealed.

If you are spending 40k to 50k, this car seems like it might possibly be a winner??? If you are spending less than that. The Z looks like the winner to me. It all depends on what fits the budget.
