And I believe someone stated before that you can just reset the ECU and info is gone forever right? wrong. The info is there for good.

E90post.com, do you have a calculator ready?
Ever heard of BT (Bavarian Technic) Tool it clears out any code that has been ran by the OBD2 therefore the dealership can not see if the ECU has been tampered with as long as you clear it out before going in and remove the piggyback (JB3, Procede).
Tell your Sergeant to look at this.
Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The dealership by law can not void warranty unless they can prove that a specific mod caused the problem (in your Sergeants case there was no problem). I had my warranty "voided" by Infiniti until I showed them this and told them I would take legal measures. Two months later and I have a brand new hand built longblock under
warranty.

I am currently a G owner and just because Nissan/Infiniti shares the same engine doesn't mean there aren't any other cars that are better or comparable. I am a car enthusiast I see cars without the brands and in some cases with out the price (if someone decides to compare the two).
Hardly the case with the G vs. Z bug, matter of fact there are a good amount of Z's that are in the National G Club simply because they like hanging out with the older crowd now that 350's can be had by high schoolers (sadly to say the G too). By no means am I discrediting the Z but there are some comments in this thread that are clearly misinformed.
Also I do agree with you, you definitely get a whole lot of car for such a cheap price with the 370z. Between a new 370z and a new 335i its clear the 370z is the "better buy" but he's talking used. IMO, in this case the better buy would be determined only by the condition of the used 335i.
