Hi everyone. I currently drive a 2008 M3. In the past I have owned 2 G35's and a 350Z. I jumped into a 335 then into an M3. I love this car to death but living in LA it's pointless. This car is enjoyable in the high RPM range and being in butt traffic all the time doesn't help. I don't track the car so she doesn't get to unwind. When there are open roads though I can't help but bring her to life! So I caught myself looking at the new 370Z. Wow! From the interior to the exterior I must say Nissan has done very well for themselves. So I contemplated for a really long time and have decided to jump back into the Nissan family. I will miss a few perks being with BMW but I won't miss my 13mpg or having to add a quart of oil every 2300 miles. When I went in for a test drive I went in open-minded. Not wanting to compare the two cars. They are very different but they both serve a purpose. Yes I will miss the M but I'm sure the Z will fill the void. I've ordered a 2010 Platium Graphite touring with sports package and pretty much every option as I have been spoiled in the M. It won't be here until the end of March though. I do plan on beefing up the Z when I get the car. Hope to share some great experiences with everyone on this board. :happydance:

Firstly, welcome aboard! You're gonna love the Z. But I gotta ask... driving in the same traffic and not tracking your car, why all the planned upgrades and FI on the Z? Are you looking to track the Z or just an enthusiast looking to cherry up an already sweet ride? Not that there's any problem with those plans.. just wondering is all.

:tup:

I don't plan on going to the tracks. I want more power out the the already impressive engine. I like knowing my car is fast even though traffic slows me down. I feel like the Z will be easier to drive in traffic.

Understood. In no way am I against more POWAAA!!! :icon17:

I agree the E92 M3 is kind of "blah" in traffic and low RPM. But when you open her up, that's a different story.

Do you have a manual M3? They are kind of a chore to drive in traffic.

Manual the only way to go for me!
