If I only do 1,000 miles a year, it's something like £300 compared to £150 for most other cars, so about £150 difference, which isn't exactly going to break the bank. But then if I up my mileage to 3,000 a year, it's about £500 more per year than most other cars. That's still not going to bankrupt me but, year on year, it does start to add up a bit. You make a good point in general though - the difference in fuel cost per year between a Z4 and an A3, for example, is fuck all!

Hm, dont know how you came to this calculation
Lets assume the 350Z will consume about 4 liters per 100km more than the Z4, unless you are taking some TDI engine, but still less than 8 liters per 100km is not really doable on a car like that. I would say the 4 liter per 100km difference is quite real.
So thats 100*10=1000km, so 10*4 extra comes to 40L extra which is less than 50EUR where I live. On 10 000 km the difference would be like 500 EUR. 10 000 km per year should be more than enough for a car like this, I doubt you would be driving more, probably less when you mentioned 1000-3000 miles per year. So in your case you could be looking at about 250 eur extra per year ... thats nothing, especially in case yuo can get a 350Z for a lower price than the BMW or Audi.
