I was e92/90 & e46 m3 shopping. Just for fun I searched for other cars like Cayman S, used 911s. ...and then I found this Z nismo edition and brought it home within the same week.

Nice! My wife owns a 2015 Pearl White 370Z and she loves it. It's her 3rd Z. The Nizmo edition looks great. You gotta post some pics of it for us to ogle at.

Edit: post some pics of your 1er as well so it's forum specific. Always happy to see some more pics of the 1 series anyway.

Sure thing, bro. If that's what you think. You know, there are some people who say the same thing about the 1er.

Those are good cars. They're a lot more performance oriented than a stock 1.

Nice. I had to have a 350z after Nissan brought back. Crazy little car, and somewhat raw, loved it.

The 350Z had one of the best sounding stock exhausts imo, just like the G35 coupe.

Wasn't the G35 the 2+2 version of the Z?

I think basically, it was. G35 = 350Z, G37 = 370Z.

So much hate in here between saying the z is a girls car and the m235 is ugly...

Nice pick up OP! The Z is gorgeous, nismo spec really brings out the aggressiveness of the body. Buddy has one in black, looks and sounds mean.

In comparison to '08 135i 6spd ZF auto, ER charge pipe w/koni yellows at 25% from full stiff...

The Z is not broken in yet but here are my thoughts so far...
Instant throttle response and it seems the bulk of power is between 3-4k. Getting back in the 135i, I realized how much turbo lag stock n54 has.

Acceleration is faster but not by much...it's mainly the characteristics.

It is definitely stiffer, drove the same roads at the same entry/exit speeds and had little to no body roll. The OEM shocks/dampers are okay, not comfortable but tolerable for street.

The steering is amazing! Changing lanes required minuscule wheel movement.

Overall, the Z is simply a more focused sports car that provides a sensation as if I'm "wearing" it.

I laughed at the 'girl's car' comment, but I did try to buy one in 2010. At the time, winter was coming on and there were very few Z's available in the Northeast US...maybe a couple of automatics. It was because I could not find one with a manual trans that pushed me into my 135i.

I am forever grateful to Nissan for their winter Z shortage!

Peace
