BMW E92 M3 or Nismo 370z Tech?

Mt Tam I am · 10-09-2014, 09:25 AM

The E92 M3 is certainly the better car on the track. It is only how long I can stay ahead until he is on me. This comes with a heavy financial cost too.

More for more. Good luck.

M3 is a really good car, but like people said unless you get an extended warranty you might want to think twice...the person that leased the car new probably beat the crap out of it and didn't maintain it properly for two reasons: 1. expensive 2. lease, so who cares...gl with your choice

I have experience with an 09... went from ~70000km to 130000km and we had to fix everything. Only thing that wasn't changed was the engine block and pistons.

Mind you the m3 is NA so it's a different beast. I'd definitely shy away from a used turbo BMW.

Totally agree... BMW has an oil change guide at 15000 km... I questioned the crap out of that everytime. Remember what they say about BMW owners and porccupines... take that into consideration when buying it.

^get low mileage one then. I actually like the e92 M3 because it's NA v8. The styling is still relevant imo. The M4 might be unreliable with time.

kenchan · 10-08-2014, 02:56 PM

anyway, id get he new nismo tech if i didnt have a Z already...and immediately swap wheels to a 13-14 nismo set, and remove the fender trim thingie.

And change the spoiler, side skirts and rear bumper to the previous NISMO

I still want a 370z but $45,000 for a nismo? The new gt mustang 5.0 is $38,0000 and the 370z cannot beat it In a straight line or out handle it stock for stock. Nismo is overpriced

The last GT 5.0 was faster than an m3 at the track or similar times, the 370z stock tested cannot out handle a gt mustang.
