BMW E92 M3 or 2015 Nismo 370z Tech?

[BaseM3]

The 370z looks like a roach to me

[Ezio]

I have always liked the 370z. I came close to buying one in 2009, and 2012-2013.

I think the exterior and interior looks great, as long as you get the better package. In my area you dont see to many 370zs on the road. So they are pretty sexy when i see one. A friend of mine got one, and after driving it. I am happy i went with the M3.

On the road yes the M3 is better. But for a track car the Z would be better. Much smaller and lighter, lower to the ground, and actually has a decent BBk from the factory. Those sliding calipers on the M3 are a total joke.

I like REALLY like the M3 but expensive for repairs, 370z is beautiful and sexy BUT the interior looks kind of old, love the seat but not the plastics...

M3 is faster and it sounds mean but I love the way Nismo's sounds too... They both have Warranties, but new one is better than Used... M3 has a better Interior but 370z has a sexier exterior... And I can insure a 2015 Nismo 370z for $164 and 7 bucks more for the M3

So which one?

Well its all based on opinion but I for one think the Nismo looks like a cartoon character, I think its hideous.

I don't even think they are even in the same category. I am not a BMW fanbois, I like all types of cars. I just feel the Nismo doesn't even compare to an M3. I just can't wrap myself around the way the car looks, its all about what you think though man.

I had a 370z and now that I have the M3, I'd have to go with M3.

370z was a fun car and the engine was bulletproof. I had no issues with the car. Stepping into an M3 however, it just felt better to me. Plus it has a real trunk haha.

The M3 rides better as a DD and I have just as much fun, if not more in the M3.

I think most everyone has already pointed out the main things to consider regarding cost and maintenance, its all up to you on what's more important to you. Its your money so pick whatever puts a bigger smile on your face when you walk up to it and get behind the wheel.

I pick an E92 M3...

I've read twin turbo kits make it a mini skyline, great power. If your not going to heavily mod, I'd stick w m3. I'm a fan of the motor but not so much of the z's body style at all.

Did you make a final decision. I test drove a Z. Love em.
Power is less, however cost is less. Low risk, engine is bullet proof unlike our ticking time bomb bearing grenades...did I say power is less. That is what stopped me. I am still considering Vettes, 2013 GT500, Challenger SRT8, 370z, CTSV....I have test drove most of them and I just couldn't pull the trigger on giving up my M3. Not yet.... Thats how good it is..

If you live in select states like CA, it's cover under state law for 7-years

Vanos solenoids will be covered for the CA law emission problems?
