First off I know nobody can make my decisions except for me. With that being said I am simply looking for some knowledgeable real opinions. I am looking into purchasing two different cars; either the 370z (once the overheating issue is resolved) or an e46 BMW M3. I will be using this car primarily as a daily driver but also will take it to the track at least 3-4 times a year. Price and warranty are not an issue as I am simply looking for opinions of the machine itself.

The thing is, on paper these cars are very similar. For example...

e46 M3 / 370z

0-60: 4.7 sec / 5.1 sec
1/4 Mile: 13.3 sec / 13.7 sec
Skidpad: 0.91g / 0.97g

(according to Road & Track)

Just a curious person looking for a straightforward answer from a great community of car enthusiasts.
