<![CDATA[Nissan 370z VS BMW 135i]]>I'am just curious to as what you all think. These cars are both in my price range. (135i being preowned with less than 15k and the 370z new)

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.

isn't the 135i twin turbo?

and with the ecu's of today i'm guessing it needs a "chip" to up boost ect.

BMW: $37,775
370z $33,625
RX-8 R3: $32,600
Solstice GXP:$32095

The Z is actually the cheapest of the lot in base form, and my favorite:icon_rr:

I like the way the Z looks just a hair more than the bimmer. I'd go for the Z.

I'd take the BMW but I'm biased.

Procede=void warrenty no? But valid point. The I-6 in the Bimmer would be damn quick with a chip.

I am hella biased as well just tryin to keep my eyes open

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.

IMHO the 370 is one of the ugliest cars produced, like a big fat hippo
