How do you think the 370z is going to stack up vs. the new 1M coupe?

Zsteve · 12-11-2010, 10:45 PM

I like my new vette's look just as much as the Z but in a different way. They are two different looks in different appearance categories IMO.

most of the cars people talk about trading for don't look half as good imo.

Yessss... IMO, the Z is definitely the best-looking car in its price range. There's really not anything close.

i think bimmer is aiming to the preivous E46 folks (that ran off to other brands) to come back.

kenchan · 12-10-2010, 01:59 PM

it would be difficult to find a 335i without any pre-installed options... unless one orders from the factory.

Ztoon · 12-10-2010, 02:00 PM

Take a helluva lotta mods to get rid of 1M's f'ugly factor!

Jeffblue · 12-10-2010, 02:00 PM

yea, as far as bmw is concerned, the steering wheel is an option.

specZ · 12-10-2010, 02:08 PM

no denying raw performance ... M owns Z... but theres also no denying looks and that M is on ugly

According to this
2011 BMW 1 Series M Coupe to Cost Around $45,000 (The Torque Report)
theres only going to be about 1,000 available in the US and starting price will be 45K. I have a feeling the price will inflate substantially due to the low availability.

more recent updates state this is not the case; BMW will build them as needed.

i had to chime in here... i stronly considering waiting for the 1M coupe and not getting a Z. well, i decided to get the Z and trade it in for a 1M coupe if i felt it was that hawt.

after reading about it and seeing pics, i am very happy with my Z. yes, it will be more torquey, it is an M car, and can be modded easier and cheaper (maybe)it is still heavier than the Z and look awkard to me.

pricing is not a big deal as the money saved would be spent modding the Z, and i will probally still come in cheaper after modding the M. the interior is not all that from what i can see; then again, i am not a lux guy at all and love even the base Z's interior. i love the fact i can still work on the Z trouble free in my garage if i want. i am sure that 1M will look better in person, but the Z simply looks much, much better and seems to command more attention.

maybe the next gen 1M coupe will be better; i am not feeling this one at all. BMW missed the mark.

The Z wasnt made to take up a 1m. So of course this goes to the 1m. Aftermarket however, Z wins. Around 30k add a tt or sc and then you'll be up there.

i disagree. aftermarket? you gotta buy a TT kit and have it installed and tuned. the 1m comes with TT and just needs a tune.

bottom line is that its still wasn't suppose to compete with it. Still would be cheaper.

ProfessorDave · 12-10-2010, 03:33 PM

I like the way the 1M looks, but why would I want a car with cool oil temps?!?

I'll wait for the 3M. I hear it's really going to stick to the road (dave covers head to avoid objects thrown at him)
