Last time I checked the 370Z is making 400HP+ easy with a plug-n-play FI kit.
Reliability is an issue on any car that has increased the power significantly.
I'm pretty sure the 335i has had issues. Small issues, but issues nonetheless.
Plus the 335i coupe weighs almost 300lbs more if I remember correctly.
I guess it all comes down to personal interest and the owner's purpose for the car.
Plus, I have a biased opinion.
Well that's very kind of you to remind me.

Anyone who owns 'said' car will have somewhat a biased opinion, that's to be expected. No harm and it's good discussion. It's when people go on a rant who are clearly misinformed (like nicknick for example) then trolls come out of the woodwork.
To be fair, the JB3's are putting down more power than Procede's.
You're also comparing a $10,000+ FI package to a $500 tune - let's be honest, for 99.9% of people, one reason for selecting X car is price. So to say John Doe has the financial ability to drop $10,000+ on a FI package is a bit far fetched.
Another point is reliability. On the FI 370z, you won't be taking that to a dealer for warranty work. For the 335i it's as easy as removing the tune (45 minutes) and you're done. I guess the point I'm getting at is the ease of modding. For a 370z to compete with a modded 335i they have to drop over $10,000, permanently lose their warranty, and always have that fear of something going wrong.
