Default 2002 BMW 330ci or 2004 350Z?

what's up guys.. im considering selling my car for a little upgrade.. im looking either to get the Z or 3? soo.. should i get the car with 287 hp or luxurious bimmer status 225hp that's barely a second slower in the 1/4 than the Z... see i would consider a WRX but IMO their hideous. If i had the money to insure an Evo that would be my choice and get a BMW when I grow out of the racerboy look..

Well...since I work for Nissan, I say get the Z car...
Bimmers are high maintenance cars and very expensive when it comes to parts and service. That's what a BMW tech has told me...

I vote Z or even better yet the infinity G coupe.
Beemer interiors feel like some rich snobby dude's apt.

yeah i test drove both cars.. wow what a difference.. 330ci is just an all around performer.. It handled better, braking was great, steering response was sharp and the transmission and engine was silky smooth.. It had 65,000 miles on it too.. The Z's a great car too... Suprisingly the BMW felt faster i have no idea why, but it did. The Z has more power but the 330ci was just so much more fun to drive. Yeah my dad slapped the back of my head when i told him i considred a Z. That's because he always bought BMWs. He's trading his M3 for a M6...

hmmm... I don't know.. I plan on getting a BMW too when I'm older.. I don't wanna look cheap driving a Nissan at the age of 40.. But its harder.. "BMW" My parents drive BMWs and its so much more of a different drive and more attention grabbing.. My mom has the X5 and my dad has a M3 and a 355i autocross track car...

BMW.

Better styling, better handling, more comfortable. Keeping it maintained is going to cost more but it is a car designed to run at high speed for extended periods of time.

Plus, you said it yourself. After driving the two how can you compare when it comes to performance?

Personally, Honda S2000. If you don't mind having two seats and an engine that literally screams at 9k redline. After getting rid of the tC for an S2K did need a car for everyday driving, so bought an xA. Then ended up driving the S2K every day anyways!

Your call man. As long as you like it.

Have to agree with this, BMW for sure!!! No comparison. If it's been maintained then it will cost you no more then the z to own. I've owned 2 BMW, 76 530i and 88 735i, Only bought the tC because of gas prices being so high. After the tC will come a 328xit.
