$45k all in is much better, if you add mods you will be at $50k

I do think the 2015 Nismos will be collecting dust in another month, I say wait until December to pull the trigger

deff want to get it in the winter, prices will be low, spring and summer times, prices jack up.

Would get the M3 any day but its up to you mate, good luck.

UNKNOWN_370 · 11-13-2014, 12:30 AM

Z all the way. Unless you like watching your car on lifts more than seeing them in your garage.

I had an e36 m3 for a few years, it was an amazing vehicle WHEN it was running. which has half of the time. Couldnt kill the drive train for the life of me but it was the little things that nick'd and dimed me. Now my 300zx was the other way around - rock solid parts but the drive train kept blowing up on me. Id say just go for what you think will make you happiest man - life is to short to drive boring cars, either way you are winning! get a warranty with the Bmw though if you go that route!

very well said. you (op) should just check out both of them and see which one you like more. don't let other people influence your decision. it is your car.

I had an e46 M3 and I did have to fix quite a bit of small stuffs with less than 50k miles - oil leaks, bushings, belts, battery, but that inline 6 is sweet. i also considered the e92 m3. love the exterior, but hate the interior with that double hums dash.

I did hear that the e92 is more reliable than the e46, but not sure how it compares to the 370z as I only have the z for a very short time.

For me I would get the Nismo. And that's because the new M4's are out and I personally won't purchase a vehicle that is not the latest gen. I know there's a huge difference in cost but I would just get something else with similar performance. Oh, and also the high maintenance cost of owning a bimmer.

edub370 · 11-13-2014, 12:49 PM

m3. better performance out of the box, better quality, better ride, more features, better resale, more room, higher performance ceiling....

You might consider me now as a fan boy of the Z.
But who ever attack a BMW for whatever reason is a spoiled kid who cant afford to buy one and daddy wont like to buy him one! Ranting while sucking his thumb I would say.
Lol.

Get a used GTR. There's some 2010s with decent miles in the $50,000 range.

Punches · 11-16-2014, 02:24 AM

2012 370z Nismo > 325xi > M3. My boys 325xi is over 400 with bolt ons and a tune and was like 19k... just saying.

Lot of reliability comments from those who...don't own a BMW. Hmmm.

OP you are getting into zee germans who, over the life of the car, statistically will cost more to own then Japanese makes. They also come with a higher price like for like.

The /// is a very well sorted out car with more tech then a Z: its going to be more, so the apples are not quite there in the comparison but I get it. To me the real comparison is against a 987.2 low mile Cayman S. The /// is a fantastic coupe with an engine sound that is unique and can't be replicated in a Z car. It also gets worse MPG then the Z which is not easy to do

I own a E90 335d, at 54K now. Not a /// but most of the car is similar in terms of the packages I have. I am waiting around for a carbon cleaning issue that is known and will cost me out of warranty, 1200-1800.

Just like I am waiting for the CSC to fail on my Z for a cost of what...1200 to fix?

Everything has some risk, it just depends how risk averse you are.

IMHO the NISMO looks fantastic if you want the sports car look. If you want to blend in more with traffic, look for a well sorted out /// or even 335is (they are harder to find but will be a tad less expensive and the N54 is sorted out by then)
