Z4M coupe vs 370Z coupe

Sephiroth

Dont be in denial man, a true M car based on the 1 series is coming real soon and it will be measured against the 370, among others. There is news it will have a more unique customization program with matte paint options, all M paint options, CF options, etc. We will know for sure in Dec.

Red370

Nobody here in denial, i could give a shyt less what BMW offers, more of them on the street than mustangs. Especially, ESPECIALLY a 1 series bottom of the barrel bargain coupe.

Actually, the 135 and the 335 share the same engine. Ive driven both, and the 335 is slightly nicer inside, as well as being slightly larger and slightly heavier.

Overall, however, the cars just aren't that different.

BMW has already been quoted as saying that there will be NO M1. Check out the article on Autoblog.com about it.

I honestly looked and the 135 and 335's when I was buying my Z. The front of the 135 looks like a retarded fish...It just DOES. The 335 was more refined and the coupe with all the options looks gorgeous on the outside, but again the interior is bland, their interiors honestly haven't changed since my first BMW(99 328i).

In terms of handling the 135 had decent handling but it was forgettable. The 335 felt more put together but in the end the price did not justify a purchase.

I will say this though: I love the engine. I have a soft spot for factory turbo-charged cars as you can gain SO MUCH performance with little investment.

I also have driven a 2008 Z4 3.0 and the handling was great(still not as good as a Z) but it didn't quite have the performance, obviously the new 2011 with the 3.5l TT engine is the REAL performer. If you must get a Z4 I would go with the new sDrive 3.5i option, but it's REALLY overpriced and honestly not worth it.

Here's hoping you get the car you want.

I've got some little birdies at BMWNA - the M1 is coming, trust me.

The M1 test mule was spotted recently at the nurburgring. No official body has been spotted, but the engine and suspension testing has already begun.

Thanks for your input. However there is now enough evidence beyond mere magazine articles to suggest that an M version of the 1 series is on the way

That car is in the back of my mind for now since we know little about it. If it's anything like my last M3 I will wait for it.

Regarding the Z4, my interest is only in the M version with the 330hp straight six and tighter coupe version.
