BMW Z4M Coupe to 370z? Test drive

Red370

got mine new for 27.5k, if there are any 09's left on the lots, you could probably do even better.

They stopped making the Z4M in both coupe and roadster in mid-08, but you did give me the idea to see if there are any of those left over. Very slim chance, but who knows?

Last month my decision came down to a 2008 Z4M coupe or a 2010 370z. First off, maintenance is going to be far cheaper on the the 370z, as it does not need synthetic. I originally fell in love with the BMW as it posed a more comfortable interior, a more quite ride, and overall more elegant appeal. It also did have the M engine which also gave it unbelievable credibility, but I was always second guessing whether or not it was exactly what I wanted. I went and tested a 2010 Z with Sport package and quickly realized that this was a more sportier, driver enthused, traditional sports car. Two days later the dealership delivered a 40th anniversary edition, fully loaded, and i bought it. Everywhere I go people stop and look at it. The thing about the Z4M is that it doesnt have the overall sports car look/appeal that the 370Z offers. So, if you want a more sporty feeling, less expensive, fun ride, get the 370Z. If you need all the extra luxuries and comforts, stick with the BMW. Let me know if you have any questions, just PM me.

Its pretty crazy how much attention this 370z draws. Just like when I had an s2000 in 2000. I put the S emblems on it and NO ONE knew what the hell it was and everywhere I went I was answering questions about it.

Everyone seems to love it, Not just young kids and yound adults. But adults as well. My girls father always said it was a " POS Jap Toy Car " when we would come there, One day I threw him the keys and said go drive it. About 10 minutes later he came back, my first comment was, too loud ? And he's like " No, I love it " " 6 gears too, huh " He is a Ford die hard and even he liked it so I was thrown back by that one, lol.

Everyone thinks im rich and I try to explain it costs much less than the camry they drive fully loaded , or the fully loaded 3.5 altima or maxima, the 370z just offers the most bang for your buck..

the bmw is going to be sweet and everyone knows it, its the safe bet or the easy way out I guess you can say. My girl has a 325xi and I love the damn thing as far as comfort and options go, but until neccsary I will rock my little 2 seater sport cars that get me the most bang for my buck. Which is the 370z.

I must say I am a fan of the new STI though, thats a car I would drive if I didnt just get my Z. The AWD is key... the z4m isnt offered in X-Drive is it ?

No, it was offered in rear wheel drive only, as a proper 2 seat sports should be.

And the Z4M was discontinued mid-2008.
