It was at first, but you get used to it I loved my 370Z!!! I sold it for the M Roadster because I wanted an old school muscle high horsepower roadster with modern handling and amenities. The weather is great here and I'm 10 minutes from the beach, I drive with the top down as much as possible

I really liked the hard-top version, and am seriously sad they stopped making both a manual and a hard-top. It was my first stop when I traded my Z06 in, but I was told it was dead. The 370Z was as close as I could get to it in a reasonable price-bracket.

They stopped the M version when they changed from the E85 to the E89 (2009 model). They have "M" packages now, but it's not a real "M" division designed car ................ just some parts bin stuff. The 2006 - 2009 Z4 M only came with a 6MT.

Yep, and I didn't want an expensive to maintain European car with 0 warranty that is 1/2 a decade old, so I passed. I can't do SMG, and that engine was pure sex. Smooth and eager to please.

BMW needs to do a Z8 again with the E92's M3's powerplant.

No knock on your car. I would have a M coupe if I didn't have the 370. As much as I love the car, I just feel the super long front end is a little bit weird.

It's as close to Peter Griffin's car as I have seen in modern times. It's like the historical Spanish Conquistador codpiece. An epic allusion to manhood. Ironically, it was designed by women (presumably they found its shape very pleasing). Even more a testimony to its visual cues alluding to massive manhood!

Hmm okay? I have enough self confidence to not care about what other guys think?
