Personally, once fuel delivery is figured out, I'll prefer the higher 11:1 comp of my engine vs the 10.2:1 already in the Z4; the power delivery and turbo spool is vastly different even with just the small changes. I'm not looking for a 800whp monster; I don't need the lower compression.
I worry that a TNGA based 86 will not be as good as the current one.... but who knows. I can say I was pleasantly surprised by how well the TNGA based Prius and Camry handle. I can confidently say that while the 86 offers a better driving experience, the V6 Camry is faster around most road courses!

Isn't TNGA for FWD/4WD and transverse engine? It would be disappointing to end up with a FWD, transverse engine 86. Well, I am sticking with my FRS anyway.
