I own an M roadster, the OE tires on the M roadster and coupe are Dunlop 
8080Es (different than the 8000s).  I had warranty concerns will ALL 4 
tires, so I can comment on tire expectancy, BUT I ahve a freind who has 
about 15K miles on his M roadster and the rears are shot, the fronts are 
ok.  I have never heard a Z3 owner who has had even wear (even ones that 
rotate).

hope this helps,
Bruce
