Considering buying 370z.

Thanks for all of the replies. Ended up buying a 2008 135i 6MT with 22k for 27.9k. Has all of the BMW packages. Bought a $800 tune from Cobb Tuning

Thanks for all of the replies. Ended up buying a 2008 135i 6MT with 22k for 27.9k. Has all of the BMW packages. Bought a $800 tune from Cobb Tuning and she pushes 355hp and 377ft/lb at the wheels.

Much faster than my E46 M3. Will get a custom tune in a few months and it should put down 375hp and 400ft/lb.

I drove a new 370Z and quite frankly was not impressed.

Still love the 135i but also really like the look of the 370z.

However, I really bought the 135i becuase of the performance potential and the more refined ride.

I have about 6k in Tune, DP's, Wheels, Tires, Springs and Struts.

Running low 12's in the 1/4 and trapping at 117mph.

.
You like the 135 more than the M3? 135 has a ridiculously tuneable engine, but the M3 to me, stock, screams sex. However, like you said, its $$$ to maintain.

congrats on the 135. You will def incogni some fools out on the open road.
