It may not matter, in light of budget and desires, but the SMG in the Z4 is a less sophisticated version than the one in the M3. Of course, the M3 version may have the same problems.
also, I don't believe there's any torque converter on any of them. It's just a clutch, like on any stick shift. The A mode just does all the shifting for you.
I'm curious to drive one to see if I share your disappointment.
