Hate to be the devils advocate, but while I agree the guy is a bit pompous and misinformed...who here seriously thinks the performance-oriented 3-series' aren't fun?

Oh well gimme an M3 or a 335i and we'll talk. You can keep the rest.

That made me laugh, in a good way

. Nice critique, sounds like he should be chipping onto the green @ a country club. I'll buy a bmw sports car when i'm 50, maybe... For now, tho, I'll take all the fun at a fraction of the cost.

Besides, i'm not trying to impress country club mamas. I'm trying to fill my Z with hot young babes!

[Sarcasm] Guys, those BMW guys have shown me the light. I can't belive I was so foolish to buy a ricer 370Z. I wish the BMW dealer wasn't closed for the night or I'd go trade in this ricer out car.[/Sarcasm]

FuszNissan · 03-23-2010, 08:19 PM

BMW is over priced. Especially the 3 series.

Nick911sc · 03-23-2010, 08:35 PM

ok..so going by the review...He didn't rev it over 5k rpm and couldn't drive it hard enough to test the car yet he felt more flex in the integrity of the car compared to german cars...

I mean god.. our car goes to 7500rpm, max torque at 5200rpm what does he expect? Monster low end torque?

kenchan · 03-23-2010, 09:02 PM

so he went with a girlie car?

jk

It’s comparing apples to oranges….2 door sports coupe to a 4 door sedan.

On Top Gear, the Stig recorded a faster lap in the 370Z vs. BMW Z4 TT I6…..apples to apples!

But didn't you read their posts? Our car has no power and is slow and soulless!
