I love it. But it is very different from the z4mc. They are so different, the only comparable element is the acceleration. Both are quick and not fast. The mid engine layout is way more balanced and predictable. The feel of the steering is more precise but lacks the feedback and visceral feeling you get in the m coupe. I'm a little jaded because I've made my z4 so track focused, but the 981s feels like a much more competent and comfortable dual purpose car. With that said, it's part of the reason I put my m coupe for sale. The 981 is that good at both. But the truth is every time I get the m coupe on the road I remember that the feeling of its steering chassis and manual shifter and having you back against the back wheels feeling the car rotate is just hard to give up.

Don't know if that helps.
