VERY CONFLICTED: 07'-08' 335i coupe vs New 370z

In my humble opinion:
It has an Engine that sounds like Lady Gaga and is as exhilarating as a night out with a transvestite. For sheer fun, you could easily best it. But since it is a Nissan, it will be reliable and that is why the OP should get one.

I'm a troll. I vote for the 335i!

Sorry, just coming on here for fun to read more about the 370z, not to start a flame war. I like all cars and just bought a used Audi, so I'm not a silly 335 fanboy. I like the Z too

Ok, w/ that out of the way, some info:

Yes, as per above, for only a few hundred bucks, you can get a tune that will give you 390hp the crank (340-350whp). As for reliability, you can bet 335i enthusiasts were the first to raise that question...nobody wanted their $40-50K cars to break! But the tunes have proven to be reliable w/ no real cases of blown turbos/engines specifically due to a tune. I won't get into bolt-on options, etc cuz it'll sidetrack the thread into a STI/EVO/335i comparison, which is not productive for the OP.

Yes, some negatives including the HPFP design issue (stock car issue), but BMW NA informed us the HPFP is now warrantied up to 120K miles.

Nice to meet you guys. Off to read more about the Z.
