[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]

BMW is over priced. Especially the 3 series.

Nick911sc · 03-23-2010, 09:35 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?

so he went with a girlie car?

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!

First time I've read that

I like driving my BMW 3 series. Our cars are more expensive and heavier so they are better. My favorite thing to do in my BMW is to fart, put the air on recirculate, so i can savor the wonderful smell of my BMW-Owning flatulence.

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

I LOVE my cross drilled rotors

(aka, find me a single factory 370Z with a cross drilled rotor....oh, that's right. None of them have'm)

Nick911sc · 03-23-2010, 10:25 PM

So how long until they find their way over here and we have to deal with their smug cloud?

chuckd05 · 03-23-2010, 10:28 PM

BMWs are very nice cars... but i drove a 335i several times... and stock for stock the Z imo is more exciting.. The model I drove had no nav and while the craftmenship was very nice and the color combo was beautiful (black with red leather). The price he paid for the car was WAY to high for what you get. Granted a chip and some coilovers would prob change my mind some, but I wouldnt trade mine for his and keep my same payment.

To each is own though.. I will say I have gotten compliments from BMW drivers though so not all of them are haters..
