Wait until the warranty is up on the Bimmer.

OP. Driven both. Two different cars targeting diff drivers. You can find the Z' s faults in this forum.

Z sits me much more comfortably than the bmw. Clearly sportier inside and out. Way noisier and louder. More engaging to drive. This has the fun factor and wins by a mile. Faster than the bmw. Transmission is rough compared to the bmw. Night and day. Turns more heads than the bmw. Who looks at a 328i anyway?

BMW interior is not that great. Some cheap plastics in there. Great 8spd auto transmission. Stereo sounds better. Cannot stand the car seemingly shutting itself off in a full stop. Absolutely hate that feature. That shutoff causes so much lag when launching from a stop. Did not care for the seats. It did not feel as comfortable and secure as the Z's. Smoother ride. Boring.

Again two different cars and curious why between the 2.

If I'm buying a bmw it'll be an M4 and nothing less.

just debating whether i want conform of BMW or Z. Im going on 27 and I feel that I have outgrown the z. I drove the automatic and to be honest I was bored with it after like 5 minutes. Plus I live in an area with not a lot of open (LA, lots of traffic and stop lights) roads so I do not think I can really drive it. This will be my only car as well...not a 2nd one.

Get a Lexus.

If you were bored in a automatic Z? U test drive the manual. But if you're bored in a Z, a 328 is half the performance capability of the Z, so you're just already contradicting yourself and I'm on page 2 and you never answered the purpose of your car. ... I'm on page 2. Let's see if by page 3 this turns into a jungle post?

Yep. My BMW loved to go to the shop. I think it got homesick. In the four years I had my 540 I had the following problems:

Radiator
Driveshaft (twice)
Brakes (four sets of rotors)
Transmission (twice)

As soon as the warranty ran out I got rid of it.

Guys at work with their Bimmers. Just before the warranty is up. They're gone.
