No quite so simple. A lot more work has been put into this car than the Z4 35is.

A lot of suspension R&D has been put into this car. 6-speed has an upgraded flywheel, dry sump cooling system. Final drive ratio is 3.15: 1. I would much rather have the brakes on the new 1M (M3 brakes), than piston-counter brakes on the 135i. Lets not forget the LSD.
This car is a lot more car than the Z4 35is, for far less money.
