Yes the 335i will make more power with an exhaust and tune... but you'll still be driving a 335i. The Z is a lot rarer, a lot sexier, and is a great package for the money!
I'd rather have a 135i than a 335. Go drive them all and your gut will tell you which one to choose. The Z is a much different beast then the ones you listed.

I came from a list of sport sedans...lastly the G35S sedan. I loved that car...I thought it would be a difficult transition but nope. I very rarely used all 4 seats when I had the sedan, sure the extra space was nice when traveling as I pack alot of junk. But the Z has proven to be spacious enuff for me and all my crap. I do find that I use my trunk space (what of it there is

I've always owned coupes not 2 seater but it was'nt an easy decision for me. Its been two months and I don't regret anything one bit! The main factor, the 370 is not played out!
Evo is kinda slow ![]() Mustang and 335 = 6 out of 10 girls in LA own one. lol

If you bought a 370z sports package with all the bells and whistles 30-33k.
335i is at least 40-45k.. You lose out on two small seats if you decide to get the coupe. & You also dont get the nav knob that BMWs come with. BUT, with 5-6 grand you can get a single turbo or twin turbo setup for a little more and easily get over 400. Even 450. Just a thought! |

I owned a 335i, and now I own a 370z.
335i is probably the most unreliable car I ever driven, and was traded in for my Z. 2 Hpfp failed, water pump failed, squeaky brakes, random codes appearing then disappearing, and dead battery. This was all under 35k Miles. If you have cash for repairs then go ahead and buy the 335i. After warranty is done the 335i will devalue even more. a BMW battery is $500 for replacement and last only 3 years. Here are 5 reason to get a 370z over a 335i. 1: Reliability 2: Better Gas Mileage 3: 19'' Rays VS Ugly BMW 17'' wheels. 4: Faster Stock for Stock 5: More Rare: all 3 series have the same body style unless your buying an m3.

Evo X interior will make u punch yourself in the face. 335's are great, but as stated above, they are notrious for HPFP and injector probs, the 5.0's are great cars and dont really have much bad to say about them other than u will probably see 5 between your home and work. 370z's are a great all around car.
my chouce 1)370z 2)5.0 3)335 4) 5) 6) 7) ... ... 56) evo x

i'm not sure why you guys are dismissing the potential of the evo. cover the interior in alcantara and carbon fiber and call it a day. Evo's are hella fun.

fun to drive, not a pleasant place to sit tho. most people dont wanna buy a car and immediately have to redo the interior to make it acceptable. and the evo interior is AWFUL

If your goal is purely power and speed, then the Z is not your choice. If you want a sexy (subjective but all of us here agree), fun 2 door sports car feel with not the most, but still plenty of grunt, get the Z. Your price range seems pretty broad, though with that BMW in there.
