God, if it was reliable and they made the same exact car now, I would buy it, hands down!

But...

That's not the case. BMW's have proven to me how unreliable they are. I take it to the shop for 1 problem, I leave the shop with 3.


So.. on to my point.

I want to get the Z because I think it's a decent looking car with great performance. But I want this car to be my everyday car. I'm gonna drive it in the rain, snow, blizzard, etc. I need this car to last me 10 years. Is that too much to ask for? I'm aware of the 350z, but never really liked the body. The new 370 is much better imo.

Can any owners of the 350 vouch for the z's reliability? Consider the fact that I'm gonna drive it like a sports car, not like a Cadillac.
This car is pretty new. I don't think that there is anyone (or only one or two) that have gone over the 10,000 mile mark yet. So to ask if they're reliable or not is a bit premature.

FYI, I have just over 5000 kms on mine with zero problems & absolutely no "issues". As for the reliability question.... ask me in a year or two.

EDIT: The 350 is a vastly different car than the 370 (engine, etc., etc..).
