Go to any forum and there will be a fair share of fanboys. We have some here that think the sports car world begins and ends with 370Z. :icon17:

:iagree: Even on the Juke forum this is true.

In all honesty I really doubt that you can compare a 1M to a Nismo. The two are in different classes completely.

At least 10k more if not 12-13k more.

:iagree: Even if you wanted to get extended warranty you are looking at about 3.5k for the M3. If you have noticed a lot of the people that drive BMW trade them in once they hit 40-50k b/c it is a SOB to maintain.

It all comes down to personal choice. I personally hate BMWs. I think they all look the same, and appear just plain to me. It wasn't what I was looking for. Obviously BMW is a decent car or it wouldn't have the following it has.

A friend of mine races ferrari professionally. He has a ferrari FF, he was literally customer number 1 for the Ferrari 458 Spyder, he is waiting for the F12, owns a 911, and just bought a McLaren for fun. I originally was looking at a Camaro SS when I got in touch with him. I told him that I was in the market, gave him my general price range, and asked him what he would pick and he said hands down the 370Z.

I ended up buying a 370Z Nismo and he said "that is one ferocious car". He also loves the Synchro Rev. When he visits in August he wants to track it and he is going to bring out his 911. Considering his vast experience and knowledge with high end performance cars, I would take his opinion miles ahead of anybody else who would try to convince me otherwise.

"Think of the person with average intelligence. Now remember, 1/2 of all people are more stupid then them!"

I skimmed the thread and they were not to harsh: no different then this forum where people tend to look at the Z with nissan glasses.

BMW does spend more on the car. They do come with better materials then a Nissan. They should be better in many regards.

There also is statistically a lot more 1's, 3's on the road then Zs...so it only makes sense that the douche ratio will be slanted towards zee germans.

As for the 1...I had hoped BMW would bring back the spirit of the 2002. Instead BMW brought us the inbred son of the 3 series...which is about the same size as the E36 3 series IIRC. If I had to blow cash one one...335 would be the choice.

:iagree: with this entire post :rofl2:

that thread wasn't a troll fest, or completely unreasonable. there's a few bad apples, but we have our issues here too lol. it's what happens when you get fans of a chassis onto one forum.

the new Z4 looks pretty good in my opinion too!

Seems more like the Z owner was the snooty person.

PS I like my apple computer even though I am a IT guy.

Yea I'll see if I can get a pic of him laying half naked on a couch like George Costanza and get him to sign it "with love"

Easy.

1M is a car you lease.

370z is a car you buy.

on the topic of snooty...have owned my Z for about 2 weeks now...2 of the most snootiest drivers i have come across in the last 2 weeks are the 08+M3 drivers and C63 AMG drivers..they dont look at me directly just in the corner of their eye...and i always get this expression like they think are better in some way..sometimes i feel like doing a kit on my car so i can destroy all AMG and M cars on the road...then reality hits that i am a family man and need to obey the law:tiphat:
