Wow factor

All I can say on the question asked by the OP is the Z is a bonifide sports car. I find it fine as a DD, with a sport pkg. Its ride is hard but compliant for what it is. When you buy bimmers audis and muscle cars. You are also buying convenience and functionality. Albeit, this car is very functional, for a sports car. The others are just functional as cars in general.

Fun factor, this car is way more fun for the money. If you are trying to get to 60 as fast as you can? This car will get there very fast, BUT you can buy faster ones still for the same price. But if you have advanced driving ability and want a car that will do anything you ask it to??? The Z IS FOR YOU. IMHO, No car in the price range handles as well and as true as the Z.

I would just test drive it first. Then comme back on the forum and ask more questions and use our search for whatever concerns you have. Go to the forums of other cars you are interested in as well. Test drive all the cars you like. Its the best way to get a feel for what you want out of a car.

The 335 drives well but lacks the fun of a Z.

I don't have first-hand experience with the 335i, but I have seen a lot of them that were lowered and had autoX hints about them (sticker/license-plate frame, etc.)

They can't be THAT boring.

I think tthey mean stock to stock... boring is a strong word. I would call the 335I more composed and sedate in comparison to the Z. It handles great but you really have to have get the car over 90mph for it to be really fun. The Z is fun at speeds as low as 40mph due to its extremely short wheelbase and taughter suspension.

Not to harp on the one guy, but I also always hear (top gear, fifth gear) that McLaren never even made much of a profit off the F1. And that's at 1 miiiiillion dollars each.
