Problem with the BMW is that it's just not a very engaging driving experience. I don't commute and can walk to work if I so choose, so a car is just entertainment for me.

However the Z is very noisy at speed (had an 03 track version when they first came out, lots of road noise from the tires). I believe my wife will have issues when it comes to vacation travel.

Banging my head on the roof upon entry will be no fun either. I'm a big guy.

Plus the car sounds better on the outside than the inside.

Cons aside.....the cars a blast to drive. And that's what it's all about.

I'll need to trade the bimmer in for it though. Do car dealers except even trades?

cheers

I'd stick with the BMW, honestly. Soundsl ike you'd have way more of a headache with the Z than the 335. Plus...hey, it's a BMW, props to you for being able to buy one!
