370z VS E46 M3 :)

So are you telling me that that range of 33k-36k, from the two cars you showed, which are a roadster and limited edition model, represent the cost of a base 370z with sports package as well?

I'm seeing base models MSRP at 26.8k? And off the bmw uk website, E92 new starting at 53k

Just sayin...

Read what he said carefully bro, he is paying 33-36K in pounds. 1 pound=1.44 dollars.

Wow I assumed you were getting the M3 cheap, it's rather you guys are paying a lot for the Z. Under those circumstances I'd get the M, a major proponent for the Z stateside is the bargain factor, for around $25-$30K its a great buy but if it were 33K in pounds or $47,000 I wouldn't feel the same.

All in all, the e92 is a beast, but it can be beaten depending on driver ability. In my case my driving ability was the winning factor in holding off the bavarian beast.

I'm a fan of the e46 M, it's still a competative car, but I think as the aftermarket for the Z develops a lightly modded Z v. a lightly modded M, the Z will have a higher rate of success in a straight line and probably on a track as well.

Yeah, it seems you guys get the 370z a lot cheaper than us!

I would never buy an E92 though, as they weigh over 100kgs more than the e46 and the Z.

Those prices I listed were in pounds

I'm confused... What does beating a noob driver in a faster car prove?

And the E92 M3 isn't a driver's car??
