cs fixed that for me

You're saying that on some (or all) e36 bmws the heated mirrors are always on when you turn on the ignition and there's no way to turn them off?

What's cs? And fixed what? The mirrors?

Correct.

I don't know about the usa spec ones but the euro e36's with heated mirrors were on all the time.

Same for the e36's in Canada, on all the time.

That's crazy, if I owned one I'd install a switch so they can be turned off...they probably turn yellow after years of baking

Like this one?

:stirthepot:

that would be amazing in the snow!

Wow, I can't imagine what kind of suspension modifications it took to ruin this car mechanically and visually...

This is tipically done on a chevy...

I can't say this is really a negative for the 370z, but the top of the line brakes on the 350z were brembos and positioned better, the 370z has akebonos, they are bigger and therefore surely better however.

The 350z is ugly inside out in my opinion. There is only a few that look OKAY. Never had a 350z as it was never appealing to me, only the nismo version was again OKAY. However, I was aware of that digital speed gauge the 350z had and it would have been cool to have that with the 370z.
I also agree with a previous post about 350z and a bad crowd. Since the 350z is way affordable, many older teens seem to be able to get them more. Typically, I can not stand the scene that comes along with most if not all 350z. I had my 370z since I was nine-teen, but I usually can't stand a lot of the young car crowd. They always have to do somethign stupid at meets; Rev for no reason, Speed off in a very annoying manner, etc. Most exhaust sound like crap.
The 370z on the other hand is beautiful, but sadly sooner than later, the young crowd will once again get access to this car as it becomes progresively cheaper. When that time comes, I might consider selling my Z. Right now I enjoy the somewhat exlcusiveness of the 370Z as in they are not too common in certain area, plus its freaken sexy! (although I am drooling over the more sleek design of the newer 911's).
I forgot where I was going with this, but 370z> over 350z all day every day.

Ehh those factory brembos sucked, the akebonos are way better tbh

Is that 50 cent?:roflpuke2:

I think you were saying you like older men, hence why you participate on this forum? :roflpuke2:

350z is hideous. 350z is for basic bitches

I'd rock an '07/'08. Dat hood bulge! I also think the rear end looks sexy without a spoiler, which I don't think is a good look on the 370. That's about it though. The 350s interior, while extremely similar to the 370, looks cheap.

I have seen a tastefully modded 350 around my area. The car has aftermarket tail lights where the brake light is a round cluster of LEDs. It looks pretty sweet compared to the OE tails.

350z wheelbase is way too long looks like a limo

LOL :icon18:

I just don't like a lot of the immature kids that have 350z's. This can be both male or female owners.

It's hard to say that there can be teenage girls in 350zs that act like douchebags, I can't really see it happen lol

It is mainly the price point of cars, the cheaper they get the more accessible they will become to younger crowds and people that in general ruin cars through horrible modification and driving. Nothing we can do about it, but that happens across pretty much every affordable sportscar, it's not just the Z. Mustangs have douchbag owneres as soon as they drive off the lot. lol jk (kinda)

The exterior styling of the 350Z just looks too tame, IMO. The 370Z's exterior looks more sporty/aggressive.

After a month with my new-to-me 2012 370z I can say definitively it is a way better car overall then my 07 350z.

Back to title of this thread what I liked better on my 350:

- trunk-open button on key fob
- the temperature setting dials were bigger so easier to manipulate while keeping eyes on the road
- same with steering wheel controls for stereo volume easier to use
- rear visibility SLIGHTLY better
- gas gauge needle

And lastly, I actually am not the biggest fan of push-button start, so I miss turn-key...partially so the radio doesn't turn off with the car!

You can press the button twice in succession (without your foot on the clutch) and it should keep the radio on. If it's an AT, you can press it while you're still in gear and it should turn off the engine and leave the radio on.

Oh nice, it's manual so I'll try that. I thought there had to be a way...thank you!

This was bugging me too. First time I have a car with the Push Start so I wasn't used to this feature. By the way, I think I do prefer the turn key in car.

I don't know if it's my extreme laziness but I love the push start/keyless entry. I'd have a really hard time going back!

The only thing I wish was that they had a credit card shaped key so I could keep it in my wallet!

Yeah i like the keyless entry too.I'm missing it right now because i have been driving my MR2 because of all of this crappy weather we have had here this week.

op- nothing

Its price range....

Gas gauge needle
digi speedo
oil pressure gauge
heavier steering feel
Low end torque

The 350 was epic for me in its day.
I wish I still had pictures of me and my Z32 when I was 18.

I went from an '07 350Z Enthusiast MT to a '14 370Z Touring/Sport MT a few months ago. Here are my observations; some may be subjective and/or inconsequential.

Steering weight/effort is more pronounced in the 350. I prefer the heavier feel (although steering response is more immediate in the 370).

Seating position seems a bit lower in the 350, which is sportier and I prefer. I cannot lower the steering wheel in the 370 at all or it will hit my knees, even with the manual seat controls in their lowest positions. Conversely, I was able to lower the steering wheel in the 350 about 1.5 to 2 inches.

The quality of the leather shift boot seems better on the 350 (less vinyl-like). Correspondingly, the shift knob on the 350 (while apparently identical in all other ways) has a metal section on the top with an engraved shift pattern, which is a nice touch.

Stock vs. stock, the 350 has better clutch pedal operation--not necessarily great, just better than the 370's. The 370's clutch pedal is so bad that I had to replace it within 300 miles with the RJM adjustable clutch pedal, which transforms the car and is a must-have mod.

Stock vs. stock, the 350's exhaust note is far, far better. Everyone knows that characteristic sound. The 370, at least to my ears, has almost no signature exhaust note, especially at part throttle. The most pronounced sound is induction noise at full throttle at 4,000 RPM or so. A sports car should have a stirring and pronounced exhaust note. Luckily, the aftermarket has solutions for this problem.

As others have mentioned, proper needles for fuel level and coolant temperature should have been carried over from the 350. The LEDs are often unreadable. The digital speedometer in the 350's multifunction gauge pod should also have been carried over, as well as the oil pressure gauge. There is little need for a voltmeter. The three pods on the dash should be oil temperature, oil pressure, and a digital speedometer/multifunction. Further, some earlier 350s were able to display individual tire pressure readings. This feature should have reappeared on the 370.

The 350 has thicker carpets and floor mats (but a thinner trunk mat). I'm not sure this matters, but I definitely noticed it.

I actually still have my 07 350z which Im selling at the moment. Things I miss that I wish the 370z had:

- the hood bulge for the HR motor years
- digital speedometer. I used this all the time and never really looked at the analog speedometer.
- while very basic, the interior felt more raw and sporty to me.

Here is my 07 350z

I miss the bigger throttle bodies

I liked the 350Z shift knob better so I installed one.
Part numbers: 32865-CD00A, 350Z shift knob and 34115-CD000, rubber insulator.

i realize this is an old post, but with this logic regarding additional methods of opening the vehicle, why have a key hole on the door handle to open/lock, a button under the door handle to open/lock, and a key fob button to open/lock?

I recently upgraded from an 07 350Z to an 09 370Z and i do miss the truck hatch open button, along with:

-the stock exhaust note of the 350Z
-rear windshield wiper
-rear visibility through the back mid-rear panel is horrible in the 370Z

Keyhole. So you can wind your window back up when you used the key fob to lower them. Logic? I can't work it out LOL.

LOL another example: why have two methods to opening/closing windows?

Isn't the keyhole there in case the battery dies? In which case the button and key fob methods wouldn't work?

Digital speedo and the Trunk release. That's all I miss, haha.
