135i to 370Z
 

Hey guys, just picked up a brand new 2012 370Z. You guys have seen plenty of these so here's one picture of my car at Sonics lol. I forgot to eat all day due to the excitement of a brand new car.

Sport package with 6MT :)

Anyway, I used to drive a 135i with DCT transmission. I never paid much attention to the Z until I started going to the track with a couple of friends.

Here's pictures of my 135i:

just curious but why the swap....those 135i's have so much tuning potential over the Z

^ I am with him. Your 135 looked perfect. Oh and congrats! you really will like the 370.

Welcome :hello:

Congrats!!! Track time baby!!!

Both beautiful cars. But I need to know like the rest, why the swap? I'm not a big fan of the 1 series but mod wise the 1 blows the Z out of the water in a straight line.

Not all people are interested in straight line performance. There's sth called race track. I guess that's where the op has more interest and did the swap.

Yeah, I was considering the 135i myself prior to getting my Z a few weeks ago. I am curious to know why you hocked yours for the Z. I didn't get the 135i because once I researched the Z and observed it from every angle I just couldn't stay away, its a better car in my mind than any beemer (sports car that is). The Z is my daily driver, and I would figure a lot of people need those back seats. Which is good because that makes less Z's on the road :)

Welcome and congrats!! 135i looks great.

Tuning potential... sure in a straight line! My 135i put down 370whp, 423wtq and I made M3's look silly on the highway :)


I know where I'm going for all my mods ;)


:tup:


Thanks for the welcome guys! If you're more of a performance/track oriented driver and drive the 370Z/135i back to back, you'll understand why I made the switch :)

Hi

You finally got it! Nice man ... looking forward to see what mods youre gonna do.

Congrats!
Love the 135i's but respect your decision with the Z!
Cornering is the Z's specialty! ^^
Welcome!

Where did you trade in 135? How much were they gonna ask for it?

Function... Form... Function... Form... I CAN'T DECIDE LOL

Thanks!!! I'm heading to the track next Friday so I can't wait to see what this car can really do

I ended up selling my 135i to a family member. I didn't even want to bother with the dealership.

Gotcha! It was a sick car. Do you like the move so far to the z? I've looked at 135. I bet it could fly haha.

guess im in the minority of those who think the 135i is ugly. looks like a pot belly pig lol..

so to me, great switch! :tup:

Congrats, interesting switch.

2 great cars! Welcome to the land of 2 seater bliss :)

Thanks guys. 135i isn't the best looking car. I mainly bought it because it was small, quick, and it had DCT. The Z on the other hand is a completely different car and so far I'm loving the switch. 6MT is the way to go :)

Ir's weird hearing Z owners talk about getting out of a 135i being bad. The Z cost as much if not more, handles better, and regardless of what some of you will say, will be reliable longer, and cheaper to maintain, then a BIM? No wI love me some BMW's, but close to or out of warranty, no thank you
