You can't go wrong with either and trying to choose between two M version BMWs is a pretty good problem to have...
This is actually what I'm planning to do.

We did European Delivery on my wife's 335is Coupe in May 2011. This was such a fantastic experience that we just have to do it again. At the time I had a 2000 S2000, bought new and long since paid off, and it was just a matter of figuring out what car I would want that we could go and pick up in Munich. I was pretty sure I wanted an M, but an E92 M3 would be too similar to my wife's car, an M5 was out of the question, and we needed to space out the purchases a few years anyway. Of course I was never going to sell the S2000, I would probably just lease the new car for 3 years and turn it back in, but I'd always have the S2000.

In the meantime I saw and drove a Z4 M Roadster, fell in love with that, bought one, and sold my S2000. That will probably push the ED out a couple more years, but I don't plan on selling the Roadster.

Now with the new M4 that seems like a likely prospect and the timing will probably work just right for European Delivery in May/June of 2016. Of course, now there's rumors of an M2, the Z2 has been revived again and maybe there would be a Z2 M, but we've got at least 2-3 years to find out.
