I must say the 370z is a much more exciting car to drive and i miss it dearly, however I could not pick clients up for a lunch meeting in downtown manhattan in a 370z.

Car wasn't percieved very well on the street.

I feel similar about my 370Z. It is a fully loaded Sport/Touring car, but for some reason, it does NOT feel like I am driving a $40K car. It feels more like I am in highschool. I tend to dress like a highschooler, too (gym shorts and a T-shirt usually), when I am not in scrubs. It really doesn't help, lol

I love it, but I certainly do not think it impresses anyone. It just looks cool/youthful/fun.

A 335i would have cost me about the same and gone a LONG ways further on the "I am a professional with a real career" path than my 370Z, which almost screams "Mommy and Daddy bought me this as a graduation present!"

However, the fact remains that I value my opinion over that of others when it comes to something MY money pays for--so I bought what I wanted and am happier for it. I just don't expect anyone to think much of it when I pull up in it. Luckily, my car is not a substitute for a personality. I can be a raging **** at times, though, so maybe I missed my calling on the BMW. Japanese and American. I need a German car next.

I disagree to be honest,i think my 370z feels cool,hip,i wish i had your car feeling when i drive my car,do not get me wrong i do not act like a douche,i have also owned BMW in the past and i would not choose a 335i over my Z,i would choose a M3 anyday of week.

Give me a choice between a GTR and any M series i would pick the gtr HANDS DOWN

Maybe I intercommunicated. My car looks how it feels--as you describe. I simply meant that it's a fun, playful thing, not a serious, respect-demanding thing.

It's like comparing Bill Gates to Jack Black. Everyone likes hanging out with Jack Black, but go somewhere with Bill Gates, and "Yes" is all you will hear.

Bill Gates is a douche.
