prices on 348's are reasonable now. wouldnt mind having one of those... till someting broke

A guy with a 355 that joins us for C&C had to rebuild his engine after it threw a rod through the side of the block at under 20k miles (I forget how much that cost). His fiancée, in a drunken rage, kicked his door with her heel (left some gashes) and then the rear fender (2 dents). Ferrari wants $17k to fix!!!

I would think it would be pretty safe with winter tires, seriously.

I've been considering a BMW 1M... My Z is my DD and will continue to be for years.

The 1 series M is a badass machine! I wish they continued making it but now it will be an enthusiast collector. Wish I had cash to pick one up at the time. That's a car I'd have left the Z for.

Same here. I was so wanting a 1M, but they were gone even before the Dec. "deadline" of when they were going to stop making them.

Someone downtown here has a black one (parked outside too, wtf?). It's soooo nice.

1M is a waste of money. The 135i is the same exact engine so why pay 20,000 more for a car with the same motor.

M3 suspension and wheels?

Plus it's an M, rather than a lame 135i badge. :ugh2:

Plus the 1M was only about 45k where as 135i is listing at 39k and 135is is 43k... not much difference in price really. Not 20k difference.

Granted, 1M prices are much higher now, now that they're out of production.

If it's not broke, don't fix it. Why does the engine need to change to make it worth while?

It makes significantly more power (the #'s BMW released were super conservative), it's a few inches wider and has a beefed up suspension on a car that already was sporty. It looks super badass. The interior is much nicer and sportier. And as mentioned above it wasn't that much of an asking price.

I don't know why you'd want an M3 with that thing on the market.

Last time I checked it was 63k for a 1M. I don't know now though. But why not just buy a 135i, buy some coilovers and get a JB4 tune with catless downpipes. You'd be smoking almost everything on the road. For 38k the 135i is a steal. Don't get me wrong the 1M is a great car, but I just would not spend that much money on a 1 series.

Where here?


VQ37HR V6/B18C GT35R

My family lives in Greenhills pare'! I goto Manila every other year and it is just a blast to be there and party! :tup:

Hopefully after finishing school I would love to keep my Z and get a C6 Z06 :)

'10-12 Infiniti G37S Sedan 6spd, preferably slate blue, black interior, comes standard with all the features i want in those years (aekebonos, heated seats, sunroof, nav, backup cam, etc).

looking for a 2002 Lingenfelter Vette :stirthepot:

I would like to get something vintage. A Jaguar E-type is what I really want.

Nice!

LOL you clearly havent driven the e9x m3 to even compare them together... i can understand if you were comparing maybe a e46 m3 to the 1m, but the e9x m3 is a total different car compared to the 1m....

next ride will be a Porsche Boxster S...

Oh wow just saw this post. I greatly disagree. The Z isn't made for pure performance, it's made to be a pure sportscar. I don't care if electric would yield better anything. It would dilute the Z name and what it stands for. I believe if it is electric, a lot of the ppl here who said next gen z will change their mind.
Sorry. Back on topic..

GTR for sure. Almost bought one off a friend for 66K and ended up buying an M3 instead. Hated it though wish I had got the GTR. So got rid of the M and bought my 2012 Z and a daily for now. Want to build a twin turbo z for fun. New GTR will be in the garage though for sure.

PORSCHE GT3 Hands down my favorite car. Probably used jeje

I might be going back to a truck. Miss driving a truck.

I really like the new Dodge 1500 R/T. The inside is very nice as well.

I can't ever see myself selling my Z now that she's been paid off for awhile so next car is probably going to be a Honda Fit as a daily and Z as the weekend beast

just don't be one of those douchy ram 1500 drivers that I seem to encounter everywhere..

anyone who has a pick-up truck pulls up on my *** anywhere.

I had a dodge ram 1500 rumble bee race me down the turnpike one day... he was losing and taking the same exit as me. I wanted to see how his truck would take the turn at 70mph. He got some sense and slammed on the brakes while I hugged the exit turn.

Buying a 2013 Volvo S 60 for daily driver but keeping my Z long-term for good weather recreational driving. I drive it only about 4,000 miles a year at most and I have barely 10,000 miles on her now. So, at 64, I'll be keeping my Z for the duration.

I don't want to sell my Z ever, I need to buy a daily driver though, maybe an 05 fx35

Keeping the Z until it evaporates from use.

I have been looking at a few used Tacomas though. Not the sexiest vehicle ever I know

Nissan GTR
