well i did searches in OT and the concensus for this car was that everyone hates it. its unfortuante hopefully i dont get flamed too bad but after driving this car on the lot with the new 6 speed manual rev matching syncro match transmission that sold me. this car is an absolute blast to drive and is very nice and tight.

Its not always about the looks, how fun a car is to drive has great influence. My 89 Mirage is ugly, but it is a blast to drive. Im not trying to compare my old car to your 370z though, hope you enjoy it.

I didn't like the 370's at first but I definitelyt like them now! So, good times!

After seeing them in person, I like the 370Z a lot better. A replacement for that BMW though? Haha your choice...no big deal. Congrats!

This is very true. I recently purchased an Alpine white 89' Gti 16v and I got so much crap from my friends for not getting another BMW to go along with my M3. To many amazing cars to stick with one brand

Did you really just call an E60 525 ugly? I should whip it out and slap you across the face. No homo.
And yeah, I know exactly where those pics were taken too. The car will have to grow on me, but from the pics it doesnt seem to be toooo bad. I bet it will just be an acquired taste.

i hated it at first but its growing on me lol.i don't know anything about your old bmw so i can't say if its a downgrade or upgrade,but this one isn't all that bad i guess.

Everytime I see one of those, I think it has an underbite. Not a fan of them.
Is the G-force any higher in the 370 than the 350? :ninja: (for those who know why i'm asking)

Wow, does this mean it's a car you might actually keep for awhile? It has a warranty.... can't mess that up! LOL :D
Congrats. Bring it by sometime. :cheers:

Nice ride. Love those new Zs. A great update from the 350s IMO. I'd take the Z over a 525 anyday. Then again I think the only good looking 5 series is an M5 or a 550I with the MSport kit.

They look horrible in pictures, but pretty good in person. I'd paint the lower grille all black to hide the cute little "fangs".

I love the 370z.
You can get so many better cars for a fraction of the cost.. Can't believe you got this..

Its much better than a BMW but the rev match tranny is for people who want to pretend they can drive. That just takes all the fun out of driving.

I'd so rock it. Good buy.

It's a beautiful car! I think it looks updated and nice. The 350z was kinda bulbous. ]

What the hell is the difference between the 350 and 370?...they look the same to me!

I don't quite get how you went from a 4dr sedan late model bimmer to a two door coupe Z. I always thought it goes the other way.

I love bmw but tell if I'm if wrong when I say that the gt-r cost about 1/2 as much as an m6 but goes faster, stop quicker, just as nice, handles better, and IMO looks better as well.

03-25-2009, 12:19 PM
saw one in person the other day, some middle aged azn dude driving it, looks mean as hell coming up behind ya. and just read about it in C&D, was the undisputed track king compared to bmw 135i, mazda rx8, and the new solstice GXP. so props on the buy. :D

Bad comparison.. M6 is the ugliest POS ever.. Chris Bangle = FAIL..
So to that, agreed..
But the comment didn't specify which BMW.. it only said better than "a BMW"..
