Nissan 370z VS BMW 135i
-
car and driver mag ran test with these 2 cars along with the solstice and rx8...370z and 135 were on the top of those charts.... I think the rx8 even had more room for seating on the interior tho than the 135i
I like the 370's.....your call tho.

It's not really a surprise that the 370 and 135i come out on top of an rx8 and solstice though, aren't they priced higher to start out with?
135i wasn't really made to seat 4, the bigger 335i is much roomier in coupe form...

Not sure what the prices are on the 335i and 370 but I'd imagine the R3 is close to the same as the Z......R3 is about 34-36,000 I think.
Either pic, 335i or 370, you'll prolly be happy. I think it comes down to what you want out of the car and what you will be using the it for.

The Z would be cheaper and easier to maintain. I like the way the Z looks just a hair more than the bimmer. I'd go for the Z.

seriously??isn't the 135i twin turbo?
and with the ecu's of today i'm guessing it needs a "chip" to up boost ect.
this isn't a civic zac :icon_geek:

the 135i is the same motor from the 335i, the 3 liter inline 6 parallel turbo.
its "rated" at 300/300 factory but is very conservatively tuned. it doesn't feel like a boosted motor because boost and torque are regulated to provide exactly 300 ft lbs from like 1500 to 5500 rpm.
aftermarket software more or less "takes out the cork" and lets it make more boost wherever the motor will make it.
