I don't think the E85/86 M version made sense financially either (the z4 has never been a big seller for BMW) and it was also quicker than the M3 due to lower weight, but that didn't stop them in 2006. I wish they had gone ahead and done a real M version of the E89 rather than the M badge happy 3.5is....
