Sure, the Z3 M Coupe gets all the attention, but what about the Z3 M Roadster?
This example features some desirable factory options like a limited-slip differential, power-retractable soft top and 17-inch Style 40 wheels.
The Z3 also comes fitted with a bevy of upgrades that include a Vanos upgrade from Beisan Systems, Bilstein shocks, stainless steel brake lines, a red soft top and a Kenwood sound system.

I've never liked the loosey goosey handling on the Z3 M - the Z4M is worlds apart in that regard. It isn't dangerous or anything, it is just not what it could have been.
None of the items you mentioned are optional; they're standard- LSD, power soft top, 17" Style 40 wheels.
The reason for the Coupe's existence was the 25% stiffer chassis, which is noticeable. The Z3 isn't known for structural rigidity. Compared to something like the base 1.9, the M has a lot more grip, power and weight, all of which don't help with how flexible the chassis feels.
If you're buying it as a nice weather cruiser, it's fine. Just don't mistake for some sort of hardcore sports car. The Z4M is much better as a sports car.

It's basically an E30 M3 suspension wise, no?
