Less then 300,000 Z3's were produced, and the Z4 has been failing quite badly in regards to other BMW models.
The first model SLK sold well over 300,000 copies (actually, closer to 400,000), and the new SLK has been outselling Z4's by a considerable number.

Z4 is indeed failing quite badly, they are selling fully loaded ones for $13-14K off MSRP. I could have brought a slightly used S2000 and a Z4 for the price I'd paid for my SLK. Okay that was bad, what was I thinking

You're absolutely right... sort of... There were less than 300,000 Z3s produced IN THE US, all of which stayed here. There were about 390,000 R171s, all produced in Germany, only a small percentage of which actually made it to the US...
