I'll say that I was pleasantly surprised with the interior of the Z. It is simple and straight forward. Materials aren't quite as good as BMW, but you have to realize the interior of their $35k 320i is almost exactly the same as their $80k M3.
I had an e92 M3 before the F80, and the driving dynamics of the 370 are actually pretty similar to the e92. The S65 V8 in the BMW is in a world of its own in terms of sound, power, and throttle response, but it is extremely high maintenance and rod bearings are basically a consumable item in it.
I got the 370 to be a fun, manual, rwd commuter for my 50 mile round trip to work every day. I have a GX470 for when I need space or the weather is bad, but so far the 370 seems to fit the bill for all other times.
