I was wandering if then Z3 M was good car to drive, beacause the thing that ruined the normal Z3 was it was involving to drive and lacked steering feel.
And how economical are they compared to a lets say 2.5l?

You've clearly never experienced a Z3 M Coupe then?!

Amazing cars to drive!! But you have to be a 'driver' to drive one. SO many people get caught out by these. Very hairy on corners but a very rewarding drive. Not too forgiving, so play gently until you're used to it.

The later ones came with the S54 engine as opposed to the S50. Slightly better engine (its the one in the E46 M3) but has slightly less power than the M3

And you dont buy an M Power car for economy... Thats just stupid
