Nissan 370Z vs. BMW Z4 TopGear (UK) by The Stig

Top Gear - Guess the 370Z's Time around the track...

MrBMW · 07-27-2009, 07:08 PM

Was quite good to watch actually. Wonder when they will show it in Aus and others dont have to *cough* borrow it from someone else.

Thanks for the links nogoodname, but for us Aussies Top Gear UK, isn't shown live/up to date like the US and UK and have to D/L to watch the latest ep's. I'd say irishboy was just letting others know in this part of the world it's out there NOW.

Watched it last night, pretty good review this time. Much better then the bashing he gave the 350.
Good to see it take the Z4.

Amen to that Ellz. When you look at the list of times, it compares very well to MUCH more expensive and exotic cars. I was even looking at the Previous Gen (wife swapper version LOL @clarkson) Z4M and am so much happier that i waited and got the 370Z.

excellent nogoodname!

just letting fellow Oz readers know that is was out there!

I didn't know they were showing the 370 and was bitching to my dad while we were watching it about why they had the z4 and not the 370 just as they brought it on lol

I'm surprised Jeremy didn't give it a verbal bashing, he actually said it was mainly good.

I noticed that too. Considering the Porsche GT3 is some 300k+ (New) here in Australia, thats a damn good effort. No doubt spend a few grand on basic mods and that .3 would be gone (same could be said of the GT3).

I'm even happier with my 370Z purchase now as the Z4 is going to be some $120k and the 370 is better equipped too. The only thing I prefer on BMW is the interior on Top Gear, with the Ivory (lemon I think). I just like the contrast, each to their own also.

The funny thing is i was watching teh Ep with the wife last night and we both cracked up about that line (and no there is no key's in the pot either

).

370er · 07-28-2009, 03:43 AM

The review was good. I considered the Z4 but to get everything I wanted on it it would cost about 120k. The Z is just much better value against anything.

nogoodname · 07-28-2009, 09:08 AM

No problem, just posted the links for u to see.

Same case as you because BBC Canada isn't airing new Top Gear episodes yet. It's all repeats from like 2004.....lol
