"So in short, the Nismo 370z doesn't hold a candle to the 1M, nor does the 370z." Lines like that make me

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

I know that is whats funny about it. The 1m is at least 10k more and any performance advantage it has is marginal at best.

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.
