My next car

Got_///M · 09-25-2013, 11:29 AM

Hey guys, I just sold my 135i. I'm having a lot of trouble deciding on my next car. I can't choose between another 2011 1er, a 2011 335i or a 2011-2012 370z.

Any car I buy HAS TO BE manual. I want something sporty but I just can't decide. I loved my 1. And I sat in my friends Z and it was also a blast. I love the looks of a 335i coupe and I'm sure performance wise it's pretty similar to the 1er. Can I get some advice? Or if you guys have any other car in mind that maybe suits me? This next car is gonna be a keeper.

Honestly, I think you'll really love a Nismo 370z. Comes with everything a 135i/335i m sport should've come with, like an LSD, racing seats, heavy duty oil cooler, mono caliper, twin piston brakes and if course, Nissan's special syncro Revmatch...well, until the m4 came out.

kdbryce · 09-25-2013, 11:46 AM

if it's gonna be a keeper, go for the m3!

I just watched some thing on the 370z against a cayman and a scion fr-s and the 370z came in as the most underwhelming and boring car.

maybe look for a cayman as they're pretty cheap these days... maybe even a 911

if you're sticking with BMW, go for the 335. the only problem with these is that they're pretty hard to find in a 6mt. and then when you do find one, you often have to sacrifice on other preferences. I looked for so long that I just ended up ordering one to the spec i wanted.

why sell '11 135i just to buy another '11 135i?

Romanian nightmare · 09-25-2013, 12:24 PM

Stick with BMW.....

jeremicium · 09-25-2013, 12:34 PM

Is this for a daily driver? Of all the cars you've mentioned, a Honda S2000 is the most engaging to drive, the most fun, by far the best manual gearbox, cheapest, and only a tad slower. If you don't mind compromising comfort for fun-to-drive S2000 all the way.

2009+ CTS-V or C6 or C7 Vette

why did you sell it and thinking of getting into another one? what are you really looking for out of your next car besides MT?

E92 335i, females love it too.

c5 zo6/cts-v/bmw

dont go with nissan, they look nice and ride nice but after a while they just feel like a cheaper car

Got_///M · 09-25-2013, 01:56 PM

I honestly just sold my car to switch from Auto to 6mt. I hated driving auto. Im looking into a 335i. I have a question though. What is the difference in the "sport" and "msport" package?

Matts435coupe · 09-25-2013, 02:04 PM

335is coupe!

LOL. You're doing great.

As much as I like the 370Z, I'd stay away from the build quality. It's definitely gone down over the past years.

lilez19 · 09-25-2013, 02:27 PM

i dont like how the ride on the 370z is ... too hard ! i rather 335i than a 370z ...

MSport has an M3 bodykit.

Sport package is wheels, seats, steering wheel, suspension.

Msport is all that + better steering wheel, better shifter, msport bumpers and a couple little things.

Definitely go for the msport.

Okay. Im gonna go for the msport. But visually can you show me the difference exterior or interior wise? Like if I am looking into a car how I can tell if the car is msport or just sport?

Don't even know why a 370z is on your wish list. It badly needs a refresh. Get on it Ghosn...
