All carry same sort of price as a fully loaded Z.. all are also hot coupes with similar performance with the exception of the benz of course. That was just thrown in to test your brand loyalty

I really love the 335 coupe, but fully loaded it was pushing $50k, which is way too much IMO. Great car though!

true...
but for 40k z includes all...
but the a5 doesn't include navi or anything "premium"
just leather and other minor things.

I have a 335i black, chipped. It is a torque monster, but after 100 mph you start loosing power. I'm planning to get a 370z soon, because I miss the engine tone of Nissan. I had an 03 z and I also have an infiniti fx35. The fx has the engine tone, but lack of power

Honestly, I think the sides and the back is bland and boring. I love the front though...

Also, I think the interior too plain, its like they never invested money into interior design because almost all different BMW models and years share same bland interior design.. <---- Only my opinion....

I do agree about all BMW interiors. They are certainly functional, but depressing as hell.

True bmw interior is bad, my fx is way better inside, but the engine of the 335i is a differet story

lots of 335i fans.. im surprised. most of the bmw ppl are too ignorant to admit the Z is legit competition. so basically, if both cars were free you guys would choose the bm?

also where's the love for the benzo, it's def the high roller in my eyes!
