Yeah I think that's the biggest problem for the Z4 and BMW, they think that the TT and SLK should be their competition, so they design a soccer-mom oriented roadster and call it a sports car. Meanwhile the Boxster, in the same price bracket but a proper sports car, is selling twice as many units as the Z and last month 10x more than the TT. Boxster and Cayman together sold 4x more than the Z4. So, BMW, sports cars aren't dead, YOUR "sports cars" are dead. Moms aren't spending 50k+ on 2-seaters, but plenty of enthusiasts are.
