I thought they were gorgeous cars, still do, stunningly beautiful! It's not an M, it's the 2.5L, but it's quick and easy on the eyes.
That being said, and this is just my opinion, the Porsche is a better car in every possible way. After a couple hours in the BMW my back is killing me and my friends are in pain a well. The Porsche is light years faster and it's 22 years old, it gets more looks and compliments, and after driving across the Gulf Coast the thing is so comfortable that I just don't want to get out, so I get in and drive somewhere else! I remember when my dad brought home his 1986 Porsche and a guy in a Z4 tried to race off the light, needless to say we blew him so far off the road we're still laughing about it 4 years later.
Don't get me wrong I LOVE the Z4, I really do, and the ones I was talking about weren't Ms as far as I know so what you're thinking of is faster of course, but if the Mercedes is your daily car I would stick with it. But like I said I love the Z4, I chose it and 2 years later I'm still happy with the decision, in fact I just drove it from Wahington DC to New Orleans!
Now, also my opinion, if you were to track the car I would say the Z4 would be superb! It just grips the road. Hell, it sticks it's claws in the road and doesn't let go! It's small and lightweight so you can throw it around corners, very easy car to drive fast!

To be fair you are referring to the Z4 2.5 with 175hp which in no way compares to the 330hp M version. This is like comparing a base 944 2.5(150hp) to the 250hp Turbo S. Don't get me wrong, the 944 is a capable car(I had an 87 944 S myself), but even the 944 Turbo S with its 250hp motor won't keep up with an M. Your S2 with 208hp could be easily taken by a 3.0si - never mind an M version.
