370Z - 50th Anniversary Edition

Robert, I see that you've received some grief for the above post, but I hope you won't let it deter you and just keep posting. It's nice to see someone take a positive stance, on a topic where it's very easy to be negative.

I swapped my 13 Sport Z for a 2017 BMW M2 about 2 years ago, so I spend more time on that forum. Recently BMW upgraded the engine on the new 2019 M2, which should be a very positive thing. However being a car forum, the peeps with my engine gotta bash the new one, or the one's with the new engine, gotta bash the old one. It's funny actually, when things change, a lot of people aren't happy. Then when things don't change, a lot of people aren't happy either.

I was always happy with and enjoyed my 13 Z. I was also one of the first to get a 13 Sport on this forum and was actually shocked to hear a number of members. People whom I thought were Z enthusiasts on this forum, use the word "hate" in regards to the look of my Z. Yes, they hated the LED's, how dare Nissan eliminate the fangs, it's not a true Z. Yes, they hated the Sport Rims, how dare Nissan replace the straight sport rims with curved ones, it's hideous.

On Rennlist, some of the comments of the new 992, 911 coming out reminded me of when I got my 13 Z. From Z, BMW to Porsche forums, bashing on car forums is just how it is.

Robert, Enjoy your Z, it's a great car

That's a huge huge difference compared to Nissan who has done nothing to the Z in 10 years except add driving lights to the base and Sport models, and change the looks of the Nismo. Nissan did NOTHING to attempt to improve the performance of the Z.

BMW did something within 2 years to help improve the performance. BMW didn't just slap on some ugly useless stickers and call it an upgrade.

ChopsZ, You’re correct, it’s a big difference. Typically, BMW updates chassis, engine and styling on models every 7 years, much better than Nissan. However this 2 year engine update was out of pure necessity. The engine on my 17 M2 could not pass the new European emissions requirement for 2019, thus the installation of the more powerful, slightly detuned engine from the M3/M4.

I personally think this is great, yet there are quite a few on the BMW Forum who don’t share the same opinion as I. Thus the point of my post, some car forum people will bash change whether it’s good or bad and whether it happens or not. Often times this bashing is justified, yet other times it can just get old and be totally uncalled for.

When I read the honest, tough and positive post from boby370z. I knew it would draw some flack, but I appreciated it and wanted him to know it.

This is the only listing I've found so far for 2020. I guess if you call them they'll send you pictures as soon as it gets to the dealership.
