I ran a BSP 350z and won many norcal autox events (over M3s). Don't underestimate a 350z they can be very fast cars. You can run 275's up front and 305's in the rear with little trouble. Add a Tiltion clutch, flywheel, and LSD and the car becomes more than a some of its parts. The Nismo adds them...

... but the brakes a very bad.

Anyway if anyone wants to prove "they are faster" contact you local SCCA and you will find a Mazda Miatia wating to stomp all over you for the first few years.

Have fun and keep it off the streets.

PS In Canada the 135 starts at 41,700 while the M3 starts at 71,300. 30grand in the diff. I will take the 135 any day.

LOL agree with the above...reminds me alot of the keyboard battles/wars on those sorts of forums

Not sure if anyone else has mentioned it, but in Australia, the 135i starts at $71,800 and M3 at over $160,000 :eyebulge:

Taking 'all' things into consideration including depreciation over time and then purchase price, the 135i gets my vote hands down.

If I could afford or wanted an M3, for that kind of money I'd seriously look at what else is available in the market place in that bracket - for me as at least one other person's mentioned earlier in this thread, I'd buy the new R35 GT-R and pocket the $15,000 change ($150,000 for GT-R in Aust.) IMHO opinion that would be a no brainer, totally superior car for same or less money, the only consideration would be if you like it or not, looks wise...:smile:
