Nissan 370Z Forum  

What's your next car?

A used CTS-V coupe two years from now. Wife will keep her Z roadster and I'll also hang onto the '76 vette.

I plan to purchase a BMW 3 series coupe. I need a normall car. My insurance denied me an umbrella policy because I have a high powered sports car.

I would think it would be pretty safe with winter tires, seriously.

I've been considering a BMW 1M... My Z is my DD and will continue to be for years.

The 1 series M is a badass machine! I wish they continued making it but now it will be an enthusiast collector. Wish I had cash to pick one up at the time. That's a car I'd have left the Z for.
RoshDawg, lemon-fresh and Haboob like this.

Same here. I was so wanting a 1M, but they were gone even before the Dec. "deadline" of when they were going to stop making them.

Someone downtown here has a black one (parked outside too, wtf?). It's soooo nice.

1M is a waste of money. The 135i is the same exact engine so why pay 20,000 more for a car with the same motor.

I’m thinking of buying a Ferrari, any kind of it. I have the confidence that I’ll buy a better one once I’ve got the money.

A guy with a 355 that joins us for C&C had to rebuild his engine after it threw a rod through the side of the block at under 20k miles (I forget how much that cost). His fiancée, in a drunken rage, kicked his door with her heel (left some gashes) and then the rear fender (2 dents). Ferrari wants $17k to fix!!!
