OK - I'll grant you that. I was actually thinking of the wishbones, springs, ride height having, just gone thorugh an excercise of removing and replacing various bits of my supposed 3.0i M set up.
M Differences

///M seats are comfier, the leather is a bit softer :trampoline:
Noise?
Ah ok, glad we have that one sorted 
Individual leather = split bolster.
But then why are non-M M-sport seats split bolster in non-individual colours (ie, red, black, whatever), while the M seats in non-individual colours are single piece bolster?
They literally made just red and black M seats different to EVERY other seat offered for the Z4 range with those side bolsters... from my POV they look like a finer quality leather (I bet they are)... and the split bolsters just leant themselves to cheaper cars (Si/sport) and customisation (individual colours)
What did Alpina use I wonder

It's easy to assume the Z4M is just a parts bin special (I did) it's only when you look into it you realise how much BMW changed.
Cheburator pointed out about the front hub carriers here http://www.z4-forum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=6347&start=30
Even the two M's have different shocks and rear anti roll bar.

Cool.
I prefer the single panel bolsters to be honest, they look much more racey
I'd hoped when I was searching for my m-sport seats I'd stumble across some of these rare beauties (single panel) in black, but hey ho
Red twin panels it is Dave

"Extended Leather" differs from GB/Europe/USA/Rest of the World. There is no common denominator. For example, in the USA they pay nearly $3000 & get absolutely every conceivable surface in stitched leather - including the Roll Over Hoops. I doubt if even your local BMW dealer (wherever you are in the world) has any idea - especially as the Z4M is now no longer produced, so will not be listed on their computers.
