comparo..

bossman · 01-06-2009, 07:09 PM

in terms of looks, performance, class and value..
without the bias.. pick one! (370z, 335i, c350, a5, or the new z4)

All carry same sort of price as a fully loaded Z.. all are also hot coupes with similar performance with the exception of the benz of course. That was just thrown in to test your brand loyalty

I really love the 335 coupe, but fully loaded it was pushing $50k, which is way too much IMO. Great car though!

Honestly, I think the sides and the back is bland and boring. I love the front though...

Also, I think the interior too plain, its like they never invested money into interior design because almost all different BMW models and years share same bland interior design.. <---- Only my opinion....

We share the same opinion LOL.

Out of all those the 370z is tugging on my heartstrings the hardest right now. My friend has a 335i. Nice car, hauls ***. Was almost decided on getting the 135, but I just can't like the styling. And the fact that there is no LSD from factory just bugs the shite outta me.

I have always been a BMW freak. Owned an M Roadster, 1.9 Z3, 325is. My winter car is a 95 540i, and I love it. There is just nothing in BMW's current line that excites me very much, save the M3. Not paying $60k.

My biggest choice I have to make is to keep my 06 ap2 s2k or spring for the 370z. The s2k if one helluva entertaining car, but I miss torque.

It's a conundrum...

brisk · 01-06-2009, 07:26 PM

a5 fully loaded with the sline is around 50K too...

bossman · 01-06-2009, 07:35 PM

yeah but base they all start around 40 still having comparable technology to the z

brisk · 01-06-2009, 07:38 PM

true...
but for 40k z includes all...
but the a5 doesn't include navi or anything "premium"
just leather and other minor things.

<<<< wants S5 lol

SHIFT_Z · 01-06-2009, 07:39 PM

I have a 335i black, chipped. It is a torque monster, but after 100 mph you start loosing power. I'm planning to get a 370z soon, because I miss the engine tone of Nissan. I had an 03 z and I also have an infiniti fx35. The fx has the engine tone, but lack of power

Educ8r · 01-06-2009, 10:48 PM

The power is absolutely awesome, and I have an automatic!

Hey me too - another past 335 owner. Have you driven the new 370z? I am curious to hear your thoughts comparing to a 335. Also, mine wasn't chipped and was an auto.

Educ8r · 01-14-2009, 01:35 PM

When I complete my doctorate I plan on getting a 5 series.

I just want to remind everyone the Forum Rules:

It clearly states there if you don't like what someone posted, just IGNORE it. Everyone will express their opinion. No one is right or wrong. If one doesn't like a certain car, doesn't mean they are wrong. As onethreefive said in the forum rules,

Quote:

*Harassment of other members will not be tolerated.(No matter how bad they deserve it). If you don't like their post, IGNORE IT! (added by onethreefive)

Failure to comply with the forum rules will get you temp ban and ultimately perma ban. I want to remind everyone, posting here is a privilege not a right!

Now back on topic,
I'll take the 335i in a heartbeat. It's a very well handling car with a great tq curve. As much as I like 135i, but the look doesn't do it for me. The 335i coupe looks a lot better and out of the list that's what I'll chose.
