I honestly looked and the 135 and 335's when I was buying my Z. The front of the 135 looks like a retarded fish...It just DOES. The 335 was more refined and the coupe with all the options looks gorgeous on the outside, but again the interior is bland, their interiors honestly haven't changed since my first BMW(99 328i).

In terms of handling the 135 had decent handling but it was forgettable. The 335 felt more put together but in the end the price did not justify a purchase.

I will say this though: I love the engine. I have a soft spot for factory turbo-charged cars as you can gain SO MUCH performance with little investment.

I also have driven a 2008 Z4 3.0 and the handling was great(still not as good as a Z) but it didn't quite have the performance, obviously the new 2011 with the 3.5l TT engine is the REAL performer. If you must get a Z4 I would go with the new sDrive 3.5i option, but it's REALLY overpriced and honestly not worth it.

Here's hoping you get the car you want.
