You are wrong.

The aerodynamics is better on a coupe (0.35 vs 0.38) + much better torsion stiffness (32,000Nm/o!!!). These are quite huge benefits.

10kg more is almost nothing. It represents less than 1% (0.7% actually) of Z4's total weight.

Z4 M Coupe outperformed both Z4 M roadster & E46 M3 Coupe on Nordschleife.
