But the Z was quite a bit cheaper and parts and maintenenace were cheaper as well. But I still really miss the M engine,...

I know you buy a BMW for how it drives, but on looks alone... strip the badges and tell me which car looks better... The BMW has been using the same styling for how many years now? only with minor tweeks. The Z has much better lines. If you want to play in the arena with the big dogs and do it right its going to cost you. If you cant afford a used 335 you problably cant afford the upkeep on the M3.

I used to have a silver 01 M. Nice car but you will hate life as soon as you get the bill for the first repair, and they happen quite often. A couple years of ownership and you could have bought another Z in the M's repair costs alone. Anyone who buys one without a warranty is setting themselves up for disaster.

Trying to compare these two cars is like Apples to Oranges. I love both my 335I and my...

90% of people that see an M3 just think it's a regular 3 series coupe because they can't tell the difference. Plus they have only like 5% different physical appearance. Doesn't take an expert to realize the 350Z is a hot car, every girl knows it the moment she lays eyes on one of us.

They just cost more to maintain than a Japanese one. If both are properly maintained, I'd like to see which lasts longer. Exactley, the s54 engine won engine of the year every year it was out. As long as you PROPERLY maintain this car, it will re-pay you with...
