Ever consider a pre-owned z3? I have one and personally perfer the looks to the z4. Not as sporty, obviously, but my roommate, at 6'4" fits fine, and I love it. I have the 2.3 (actually a 2.5L enginge) and its a lot of fun. As I said in another thread, though, they are awful in the snow w/o new tires. With good tires, they're fine.
As far as cargo, I know I've fit more than I should have in my car. Two people in the passenger seat, lots of luggage (crammed) in the trunk, a big dog, etc.
PS - I know I have beat a S2000 off the line in my car, though I think the S2000 is faster. Made me smile.
Good luck!
