BMW Z4M Coupe --> 370Z ??

Mike · 03-03-2010, 10:23 AM

the Z4 we are buying is for my wife, so its all about style, not performance, even though were are getting the 35. USAA buying service has it at 500 over invoice, so that is what I am shooting for at the dealer later today.

Does she need a V6 TT? Maybe like the other guy said look at the Boxster.

BTW I love the USAA car buying thing, I was looking at it last night and they say they can get the GTR premium for $76K.

she doesn't 'need' it, but I want it. The boxster is old and dated looking to me, and Porsche doesn't give you a discount for European delivery like BMW does (7% less)

4. The 2010 Z4 has 335 hp, not 300 hp.

i thought he was talking about the audi TT, and the hp for the M Coupe is 333 but that because of the 2 cats and crimpled headers. also i know there straight 6. but im also trying to stop looking at the 370 because it makes me question my choice so i dont know....

Re: buying plans, The American Express Car Buying program is painless and not much to fill out. I did it on the 370z roadster and got three responses immediately all under invoice. The best was $600 under. Not all dealers participate. The dealer is not allowed to haggle the price they quote. I liked the plan, others on this board have used it, but I am going with the VPP program by way of the courtesy of poster Robert Nash, which is even better. Search VPP and you'll find the thread. The only issue is the program ends on 3/31so ordering from the factory is a non-starter.

so we wound up not doing euro delivery, but taking one home tonight instead. Got it for about 1000 under invoice, but it was still twice what my base+sport was. Its a very nice car though and my wife is ecstatic, so its all good. 2.9 financing is also pretty good.

but she would never want a GTR, and actually, even though I like the car, I wouldn't want one either, just because it doesn't have a manual transmission, and I don't really like the auto, no matter how good it is.

Which is also why its hard to say which is faster. I think the Z4 might be a little, but its hard to tell since it has the 7 speed double clutch automatic, so it drives totally different. That and I haven't really gotten on it too much since its not broken in yet, and I have only driven it to the grocery store and back so far.

Besides...the new Z4's are ******* dead sexy. I want pics...what color, Mike? Man, if they had Laguna Seca Blue.....

So do you guys have a role reversal thing going on there? She get the TT V6 and you go grocery shopping. LOL JK.

That DSG is awesome, had it on my Audi and I loved how fast it shifted. So are you going to get it chipped?
