Looking at a 370,,?'s
Well my lease is due up soon. I tested a 370 a few months ago, and kinda liked it. Even being 6-2, I didnt feel too cramped inside.
I did notice my knee was kinda hitting the wheel on shifts, but I just wanted to test a 6 sp, and compare it to the powerband in my 335i. I will be looking at an 7sp auto, and I want leather, and I dont care for any wing out back. White with black leather would be perfect! So I guess the sprt package you get the rear wing and a limited slip diff. If I just went with a touring package, do I lose the limited slip? And if so what kind of diff is out back? btw I dont mind the E diff my bmw has, you can lay dow two tire strips while going stright anytime. Also the only problems I have seen are overheating, oil lose, and a loud engine. Also how good are the shifts in the auto Z? Its not a double clutch system, but just how good is it? The bmw uses a ZF tranny in thier autos and its very fast and solid. Thanks guys. |

Yes, with just the touring you will lose the LSD. Unless you're going to track the car, it's not rally a big deal. Because there are aftermarket LSD's for the Z that are A LOT better. Also, for normal street driving you will not notice overheating(I'm assuming you're talking about the oil). The auto Z uses a very well made transmission that can adjust on the fly to your driving style, providing Synchro rev match on downshifts to give you that heel-to-toe feel. It's not a DSG transmission for sure, but it's still damn good and if you are interested in the auto then you won't be disappointed.

The Sport Package LSD is actually fine for a street application. It's not ideal for track use, though.

You might have problems with the touring because of the electric seats, that is why I decide on the Base w/Sport Pkg., the seats goes back like an inch more.
