Z3 2.8 coupe vs M coupe opinions

I've driven the M coupe and the experience is incredible. I love the cockpit, shifter, exhaust, everything. I am afraid this might be a bit out of my budget so am looking for a clean low mileage 2.8 Z3 coupe as well. As far as subjective opinions, what are the differences. I'd have to do an exhaust I feel on the 2.8 just to have the same high performance feeling the M has. Other than this, how does the rest of it compare (yes, I am aware it isn't a M, but is the Z3 still extremely tight and responsive like the M?). Thanks for any input and feedback. I think I made a mistake by driving the M. Now I'm in love and hope the experience of the regular Z3 is close.
