Top Gear does a lot of things that don't make since. My only guess is to show how the 370Z performs with cars costing much more.

Infiniti is comparable to BMW.

You're delusional. Both companies build very similar types of cars in a similar fashion. In fact most all Infinitis are benchmarked with a comparable BMWs.

It all comes down to preference and what you are looking for in a car if you want a bargain and you have no concern or desire for quality and finish get a economic car like the 370z which offers some of the trills of much expensive cars at a fraction of the cost Im a 335i owner and Im sure the 370z is fun but the 335i has much more to offer not to mention the fact that it looks way better when you pull up...

Except when I pulled up to a light this morning and there were four 335i, none of which were looking "good," though that is on the owners job.
Really, the touring Z is an excellent sporty car with luxury built in.

370Z = sports car.
Your car = not a sports car.

Nobody bought a 370Z to stuff people in the back and brag to their relatives that they drive a european car. They bought it because its a proven sports car with 40 years of Z Car heritage thats one of the best bang for buck performance cars in production. Its also a much more emotionally designed car in both interior/exterior styling and driving dynamics. Go back to your BMW forums and take your BMW nutswinging friends with you.

You base you comment on what? Why the **** would I buy my car for that? You are very ignorant if you think BMW drives think like that.

Im sure there was great emotion in designing your car I bet the designer had to finish quick because he had to take a ****. The last thing he must have designed was the door handles before he ran of to the bathroom.

BMW makes their cars on a mass produced assembly line too, regardless of what you're salesmen told you
