Why didn't bmw ever put in the s65 engine from the m3 and create a modern day z8 ?

You're just too late with that comment...production of the E89 ended this month, August 2016.

Just long as they don't run out of parts.

My 35iS has been an exceptional car and I want to keep it. Less than 400 registered in the UK apparently so it's a fairly rare beast.

Goes like stink as well biggrin

No idea why the N54 has been retained in the Z4 either! Undeniably a good engine but not aware it's still being fitted in any other new BMW and you'd have thought it wouldn't make economic sense to keep producing it just for a low volume model like the Z4 - strange!
The Z4 is the last of be Exx cars to still be made and no real sign of ending either that I've heard. Maybe they have entry of engines knocking around and are just running them out without re-engineering the car.

Hardly any wonder it was a slow seller, a 35iS lists at a rather ambitious £47,915 according to BMW UK's website.

Well I never... Interesting you can still configure them on bmw website but I don't doubt you. I was half right - no real sign of its replacement.
