LMAO @ you sid... seriously... Styling is subjective...

1.
I like the way the 370 looks... it stands out... your car looks like EVERY other BMW made... boring... but thats my opinion... The only good looking BMWs are the 6 series and the Z4s... If you wanna pay 10k more than me for a car that people have to read the lettering on to know its tight... then thats for you...

2.
Shitty interior? lol while it may not be your fancy 5 star hotel on wheels - i didnt ask for that... I wanted a sports car and that is exactly what I got...

3.
Mad uber rev match - Ha ha ha ha lol this one pissed me off the most... for idiots who cant drive? I propose to you that the worlds best drivers will not be as consistent as the cars ecu when it comes to rev matching... neither will you... or me for that matter... So what... when SMG came around were you bitching and moaning that those w/ it cant drive? although the lap times said something very different??

4.
Oh you spent 600 on mods ... well I spent 30k on a near track ready sports car... if I spent the difference between the cost of the Z and 335 on my Z... you will be seeing my taillights all day long.. not to mention ... My downshifts will sound crisper and more aggressive than yours ALL DAY LONG

5.
Seriously... who are you trying to convince that you got the right car lol.. sounds to me like you are trying to desperately believe but need to come to a Z forum and prove how uber cool your 335 is..

6.
Take your car to a track... stock / modded / whatever... find an equally modded Z... and i mean a real track w/ real turns... you are going to understand why I picked a Z over a 3 VERY FAST....

I had a bad experience with my E46 BMW. Too many parts(engine vacuum thingy, power windows etc...) were breaking down when it reached 3 years old. I started to think that my honda civic was more reliable so I sold it...

There were good points for it though like the comfortable ride and silky smooth accelaration but in the end I was still spending a lot on maintenance so I had to get rid of it.

you cant compare a nissan to a bmw. they are both at different levels. end of story. i dont know why top gear did that.

Top Gear does a lot of things that don't make since. My only guess is to show how the 370Z performs with cars costing much more.

Infiniti is comparable to BMW.

You're delusional. Both companies build very similar types of cars in a similar fashion. In fact most all Infinitis are benchmarked with a comparable BMWs.

It all comes down to preference and what you are looking for in a car if you want a bargain and you have no concern or desire for quality and finish get a economic car like the 370z which offers some of the trills of much expensive cars at a fraction of the cost Im a 335i owner and Im sure the 370z is fun but the 335i has much more to offer not to mention the fact that it looks way better when you pull up...

Except when I pulled up to a light this morning and there were four 335i, none of which were looking "good," though that is on the owners job.
Really, the touring Z is an excellent sporty car with luxury built in.

370Z = sports car.
Your car = not a sports car.

Nobody bought a 370Z to stuff people in the back and brag to their relatives that they drive a european car. They bought it because its a proven sports car with 40 years of Z Car heritage thats one of the best bang for buck performance cars in production. Its also a much more emotionally designed car in both interior/exterior styling and driving dynamics. Go back to your BMW forums and take your BMW nutswinging

friends with you.

You base you comment on what? Why the **** would I buy my car for that? You are very ignorant if you think BMW drives think like that.

Im sure there was great emotion in designing your car I bet the designer had to finish quick because he had to take a ****. The last thing he must have designed was the door handles before he ran of to the bathroom.
