Alan -
Great comparison - Thank you. How would you compare accerleration between the two cars? I presume they are about equal? |
women aren't the only important thing.. but you guys can't deny that sex appeal is important. i mean obviously i want myself to win over a girl before she even sees my car, but i mean the way i look at it.. which one would be the icing on the cake? 335i

bossman,
Are you interested in purchasing a 370Z, or what? If you were to add up your posts statically you have already made-up your mind on a BMW—that's what you should purchase. Just remember years from now, when you are divorced because the woman that married you, married you for your car that the 370Z would have made your life significantly happier, and without the alimony! ;) |

Thanks for the review Alan.
Were you leasing your 335 or did you purchase it? If you purchased I'm just wondering how easy it was to sell/trade and whether you felt it was good value for a 1-2 year old car. Also, did you have any issues with your BMW while you had it? |
Follow-up:
Sorry, left out the acceleration. The 335i has more grunt down low which is a given. So it is a great car around town. But the Z pulls pretty hard and just feels better going through the range. The sound, the gears the seating just adds up to great package. You feel more involved. On the value side. I ended up with what I thought was a good deal for my car. I believe if were to trade again next year I would NOT lose as much with the Z. In particular considering the economy. My car was a purchase not a lease. What is funny is that my BMW salesman called me this morning wanting to know what kind of car I am buying. It seems that BMW financial calls the selling dealer to alert them that a non BMW dealer has requested payoff information on the account. My salesman was pretty hot to get a ride in the Z. One other item. I have raced with PCA and HSR along with working with a lot of clubs at numerous tracks over the years. I can't wait to get the Z to Mid-Ohio. Never tracked the 335i. It just didn't stir the emotions enough to go through the effort. |
Ex 335 owner here as well and can certainly attest to values held by 335. Sold my 2007 coupe a little over a year later with 10k miles for $42k which was not too far from the original purchase price. Then again, I sold my 335 in 2007 when the market was slightly better

The problem with this thread is that there is simply not enough data to even make a serious comparison on several levels. The 370Z has not been out long enough to determine residual value, and a slew of so many other factors. Until owners have put some serious miles on the new 370Z, and the known service bulletins crop-up, along with anything else that might yield itself mechanically, there is no real way to start making a comparative analysis about matters. Sure there are the physical dimensions, and other specs, but that's it. Also, this thread is getting to be more about "perceived" status versus an enthusiast take. An enthusiast doesn't care much about such matters as they do about what the car can do and yield to its "owner" and not others.
