BMW E92 M3 or Nismo 370z Tech?

ouchie · 10-08-2014, 02:14 PM

So, my lease is up SOON... Should I buy a CPO E92 m3 or a brand new Nismo 370z Tech?

I like REALLY like the M3 but expensive for repairs, 370z is beautiful and sexy BUT the interior looks kind of old, love the seat but not the plastics...

M3 is faster but I love the way Nismo's sounds...

So which one?

Cpo m3

Are you ok with a used sports car with 30K-50K miles on it?
If yes get the M3.
Else get the Nismo.

Mileage and year? Just because cpo doesn't mean crap. Me personally I would never buy a used bmw anymore. If you do get one, grt the warranty and don't let it end

UNKNOWN_370 · 10-08-2014, 03:15 PM

Yep. Used BMW unreliability for near New Z pricing? That's a no brainer. Maybe if you were leasing a new one I might give it thought? Maybe?

critical · 10-08-2014, 03:19 PM

what do you want out of a car? do you plan on modding it? i wouldn't drive a stock Nismo. it's not very pleasant. 50k is a lot for a Z too. for 50k you can get a twin turbo z that'd spank M5's if that's what you're about

I leased a 2011 BMW 335i and I never had any problems, but yeah German does NOT mean Honda/Toyota quality

Who here has owned/leased an E92 M3? Ok, tell us about the reliability.

That's because those turbo bimmers start messing up at 75,000 miles.

M3 is a really good car, but like people said unless you get an extended warranty you might want to think twice...the person that leased the car new probably beat the crap out of it and didn't maintain it properly for two reasons: 1. expensive 2. lease, so who cares...gl with your choice
