Guess I am not the only one letting my E93 go away~ Was kindda sad the moment I see it gone. But I guess I have company now

The current gen m3 is nothing special. Next gen will get a turbo 6.

The 335i with a chip will run all over the m3.

But anyways, nice move the the 370. Im looking to do the same. The 370 has the right price tag for performance.

I was looking a tts pretty hard,, but Im finding it hard to believe that im looking at a $47-$53k car. I just dont see the value in it.

The Z was just traded in on a Maxima and only had 833 miles on it. I was looking to get into something a little less pricey to move up the property ladder. I actually stopped at the dealer to look at a frontier and when I started looking at the Z's I said in passing that if I were to get one I'd want a PG with sport and nav. The sales lady's eyes lit up and said she was working on a trade for that exact car and that if she could find the exact Maxima that the guy wanted that they should be getting the Z in a couple days. She called me on Wednesday, we got the deal worked out and I took delivery today. The only bad thing was the car already had the front plate bracket mounted.

My M3 only had 8066 miles when I dropped her off this afternoon, I was a little sad but I got a great car and the deal was solid.

My wife has an Infiniti EX35 and it has been flawless. Her good luck with that car is what made me consider the Z. The Z and the EX actually appear to share quite a few parts.

I don't have any good pics of the Z but yall all know what they look like.

The old M3:

I fell off my chair when i saw the title...

how do the cars compare? As much as i love the z, there must be things about the M3 you miss... M3 is a legendary car...

Until you actually drive one you have no idea. The only place a chipped 335 is going to run all over a M3 is on the drag strip. There is a cost for refinement and a 4.0 liter 8400rpm engine.

I try not to think about the things I miss. No point in that. I will say that the car was super refined. Smooth power delivery, zero vibration, amazing chassis, super stable, and it stuck like glue.

I will say that I'm really liking the affordability of mods for the Z though. I mean I can pick up a complete blower kit for 5-6K. It was easy to spend more than that on a exhaust for the ///M. The ///M Tax was crazy,

Love the M3 (and M5, and M6) - would prefer a "swoopier" bodywork, but I guess you get that with the M6.
