370z Vs. 335i

Anyone with real life experience (ie owned BOTH) with 335 and 370z? I had an 07 335 coupe and loved the car. I haven't been able to drive the 370z yet but I presume both will feel about the same in terms of straight line accerleration given the numbers published in the mags. Love to hear any real life comparison between the two.

Two things I can comment:

1. Resale of my 07 335 was absolutely amazing. I sold mine in late 2008 with 10k miles and lost at most $3k after a little over a year. Not bad. But I am now seeing tons of 335s out there so it may be different.

2. Interior in 335 is boring as heck. I had the old iDrive which was bearable but I'd prefer the more "complicated" look of the Z.

3. In terms of reliability - I have mixed feelings. I bought the car just when it was released and had to replace fuel injector rails 2 times! Other than that, no issues.
