I mean it seems like the 335i isn't lagging too much behind the 370Z in handling either, so what's the point of getting the 370Z other than wanting a "pure" sports car by sacrificing seats, noise, etc?
Well, some would argue the Z keeps getting fatter, and hence the increased power is less effective. Others would argue that the 335i is a twin-turbo 6-cylinder, and by that very virtue would more than likely be a quick car with lots of potential.

Either way, I wouldn't say the Z is underpowered too much at all. Its all in what the car was designed for in the first place - its obvious what the Z is for, but the 335i is a bit more vague. In reality, it was made for men who want a little more umph from the car they daily drive to work and to the golf course. But can it take corners the same as the 370Z? Hardly. But you post a very good question - what IS the point in buying the Z over the 335i? To many, image. A 2-seater sports car to many is viewed as a sign of youth, maybe even a bit rebellious nature in this time of practicality.
