Because you're only seeing the number aspects of the car. I'm sure the lighter Z4 has a better feel to it than the 350Z on the track; it also has perfect weight distribution. And not to mention the Z4 has extra luxurys/ammneties, name, etc. Personally, I prefer the Nissan 350Z over the BMW Z4 for many different reasons. But if I were shopping for either car, I wouldn't see myself cross-shopping between the two.

Great video. I always find myself enjoying 5th Gear videos

yea but still at the begining of the video it specificaly says they're out to find which one is "better"

then they do all those tests and that totally staged race in the end (LOL)

and "overall we would choose the Z4" ...not sayin either ones better but just kinda funny

I believe they said the Z is a half second slower to 100km/hour than the Z4. That's an important factor in the "everything" you suggest the Z wins at.
