Actually they are really strong on the 5MTs. The MR 6MT is really weak especially the 6th gear, so a lot of the track guys swap it out to the 5 speed trans.

I own a 07 335i and a 10 nismo. Both are twin turbo cars. I would never winter either cars. I live in ohio so we have our fair share of snow. G37X coupe is what your asking for. A 2010 is in your price range. Best of both worlds. The German stuff will brake the bank. My Beemer has been an amazing car to me. Only had to do a water pump. 1200$

Very pretty Car!!

I really think i'm going to get the Z, throw some winter tires on it during the winter, and borrow my dad's truck if needed if there is a bad snow storm.

I loved my 350z so much, can't wait to get that type of car again
