Welcome from New York (but originally from Berlin/Germany)

Anyway, I just replaced my BMW 128i convertible with a new 370Z and I would like to give you my thoughts on it.

The beamer was great, more luxurious, and the engine and gear box more refined. Overall I would say the BMW 3.0L 6 Cylinder is probably one of the best ever produced, but.................

Reliability, especially on electronics, is not top notch. Driving the 370Z (my test drive, as I am taking delivery today

) was just so much more like I wanted a car to be, sporty but still comfortable. Not sure how to describe it, and you probably don't remember, but I used to have a BMW 2002 back in the days, as well as a Porsche 428S4, somehow the 370Z combines those two in one.

Either way, it is different than your BMW (especially to your 325i in the power compartment) and you will love it. I also dont remember having seen many in Germany on my past visits, BMW are everywhere.

Again, I will take delivery today and this is just my experience from the 2 hour test drive, but it can only get better from here, IF it is more reliable than my BMW.
