Default BMW to a 370z

Just joined the forum and wanted to say hello. I currently own a 2007 BMW 328i that I am in the process of selling. But once that is gone, I am moving on to the 370z. My sister had a Z back in 2004 and I loved driving it. Recently, I decided to test drive a couple of 370's and I fell in love again I am looking to buy the touring with sport model. I really love the 40th anniversary color combo, but we will see how it goes. The quicker the BMW is gone, the quicker I get my Z. Pic below of my BMW. I love the car, but I want something more of a true sports machine.

Trust me you will not be disappointed at all going to the Z. I myself come from a family full of all types of BMW's and the Z is just a great engineered machine.

I just traded my 325i for a 2010 Z about a week ago. Loved the Bimmer but this is a real sports car. I smile every time I just tap the throttle and it snaps my head back. Of course the BMW was much quieter, but I like rawness of the Z better. As far as I'm concerned BMW has wandered a little too far toward Luxury and forgotten it's true sports sedan heritage.

Welcome and congratulations. I went from a '10 M3 to the Z and miss some of the comfort features, but since my mods and UpRev, I'm pretty satisfied overall.

Welcome and good luck on selling the car! Im pretty new to the forum myself and did the same exact switch. I went from a 2011 328i m-tech coupe to a 370 and can say it was well worth it!

Thanks for all the welcomes. I'm happy you guys with the BMW's are able to give some reassurance to enhance my decision more. I am looking forward to it. I never thought the E90 would be this difficult to sell. I might end up trading it in within the next month if a decent offer doesn't come my way. Thanks again guys!
