VERY CONFLICTED: 07'-08' 335i coupe vs New 370z

akburst510

OK, so the370:

8 For the 370Z
5 For the 335i

e90post:

7 For the 370Z
10 For the 335i





Goddamnit it's 50/50, just like in my head.

collinse90

the 7 from e90post are looking out for your finances, which is why they drive a bmw

The sig system is designed so we do not have to see a bunch of cr*p all the time. It is a pretty common system on more advanced boards using who prefer to keep things looking "cleaner"

We have a rather healthy section designated for people to share their car information and more, do not need to see if 24/7 in your sig.

Really? So a specific forum on X car is being more unbiased. Not saying the Z board here is going to give an unbiased answer or "look out for your finances," but that is a very pathetic reason.

fyi i go to UCI, no one has the damn car. I saw maybe one and he didn't look like a college student. Lot's of 335i's, tuned ones too.. 335i's are well over 15 grand more expensive than a Z.

I personally would choose the 335i's because I have driven both, and felt the 335i was much more well rounded for a guy my size. Plus two extra seats, a bigger boot, and speed that can be jacked to m6 territory, I would easily grab that car if money were no issue.

did we just get like, 5 new members from the BMW forums just to defend their car? lol.

stock 335i doing 11's? coughs...bullshyt...

rated at a 13.5, with some hitting 13.4, Z's stock are doing 13.2's all day. The Z is the faster car, sorry to crush your dreams fellas.

oh and BTW, I shat upon one at the drags this past sunday, will post vid/pics in the media section.

Also if i may add, BMW is not the luxury car of yesteryear anymore, your average every day joe schmoe college kid can afford one nowadays, especially since BMW lowered pricing on the majority of their models to compensate for the struggling german/american economy. Nice cars though they are, they just arent what they used to be anymore.

And if i may add something else.. the Vishnu program instantly voids your warranty, the stock ECU senses when its tampered with and will happily rat you out at your next service. So go ahead, void your warranty, and good luck with maintenence and upkeep.

I've run 13.1 stock w/ the excellent RFT's at the HRP track. It's not impossible, but i digress.. caranddriver is the end all be all.

And of course the 11.3 second pass was not a stock car. I posted the quickest 370z pass to date, which is 12.8 (and also not stock).

The 11.7 (former record) was run tune only by a 335i. $500~ mod.

I like when this topic comes up. Vishnu is one of many tuning companies by the way (and not the largest).

Nothing instantly voids a warranty.

The ECU has no idea (when shut down properly) that anything has been done to it. Are you talking about flashes? Which is becoming more popular in the e92 community now.

I'm at 30,000 miles without a single maintenance issue.


I'm not trying to argue, but to dispell the common bs/myths that regard these cars in general. As seen, I dealt with nicknick earlier.

Care to provide a timeslip/video of your run? I have a hard time believing that you are producing the same time some JB3's owners are pulling especially with stock RFT's. Back when I was researching 335i's capabilities there were only a handful (literally less than 5) that were in the lower 13's stock.

Also the run by Hotrod was on 17's drag radials. It isn't as simple as slapping a $500 mod and running high 11's like how you make it seem.

why is that when threads like this are made, all the trolls start poppin out of nowhere....lol.... like rat traps

akburst510

Well I did link the forums/discussions together... It's only natural that someone who loves their car defend it in enemy territory. Seems like BMW guys are much more fanatical about their cars, since none of you 370zrs decided to join the other forum.

It is childish, I know, but it's a pro IMO for the 335i.

Brizzie

go for tha Z, 335 is old to me, plus u dnt need back seats

akburst510

I am leaning to the 370z, but man o man was that a hard choice. Each car has it's own merits, and each car is a good choice. I am going with the 370z simply because I can get it new and make it my baby, not adopt someone else's.

theDreamer

Fanatical?
So having free time to go around the internet to another forum which has nothing to do with your car and begin posting. Sorry, but I have time to enjoy my car and share my wisdom with others on the Z boards here. No need to jump around to BMW/GM/Ford/etc. forums and look for threads about the Z and defend it.

I think there has been plenty talked about here, really, just go test drive both and pick one. No one here can make that choice for you or should ever pick for you, it is your car & money.
