Cross shopping other cars with the Z?

You'll find the one you want for sure. Patience. Something really good always comes up about once a month. Glad to see you settled on something nice!



I drove the 235 too. And the 435. And the 535. And the M4. And an M3.

NONE of them handled well. I ******* hated the handling. Horrible. The roll was a nightmare in all but the 435 and that one just felt too goddamn heavy to have any real fun. Don't even get me started on the 1 series. Garbage right there.

I'm sorry. Not picking. I just don't know why everyone says that BMW is superior. I didn't really even care for the interior of the 235. And I couldn't understand why a reasonably optioned one hit $50k. ****. And no. It is a cheap, nearly entry-level car. No reason for it to hit that price. And like I said. Rolled like a bitch. I just don't know why people say they drive well. They don't. and 50/50 weight distribution will hinder performance more than help it. Sooooooo....

Anyway.... I guess I need to reference my own post here. Drive what you love and don't go by what Tigger says sucks.

Aloha Tigger, let me explain my "superior to my Z in so many ways comment". The M235i has 4 seats, a real trunk, is smoother riding, road noise is much quieter, manual trans shifter is very clean/not notchy, clutch is lighter and easy to use, plus the music from their base stereo is better than my, no rear 4 speaker sport Z. Over all the 235 is a very good car but not a car for me at this time.

I still prefer the better road hugging sports personality, albeit a little rough around the edges nature of the Z, then add in the Z's steering feel that the 235 lacks and no way could I trade in my Z for it.

As someone mentioned in another post, the Z is the better car when driven in anger. Honestly, I'm very seldom angry but your last sentence sums it up best, "Drive what you love". Guess that's why I still drive a Z
