330ci Vs 350z

[bmwpride]

Which is better and why!?

[FREDPLT]

I like the feel and ride of a BMW much more, but the 350Z is a different kind of car. I would pick the G35 Coupe with the wing, thats a sharp looking car, but I know someone who has one and isn't too impressed. It's all about personal preference!

<=== Beet a 350z with a E46 325Ci AUTO!!! Wondered WTF afterward... He had to have F-ed something but I still souldn't have whomped him that bad...

Shitty cars overall they are already breaking down; I wouldn't buy anyhting from Nissan for at least two more years.

Do a search, even Nissan Drivers are dogging those clunks.

Maybe that's why they're so relatively cheap for the specs they turn out?

[kid667]

I hate nissan just cause they wont build a left-hand drive skyline!! ghead ghead ghead

[Rhyzz]

An M3 may be able to keep up mid range, but the 350Z's turbo will give it the extra shove in lower gears

A 330i E46 couldn't keep up with it


As someone said, totally different cars. 350Z is a great car, never breaks, but it won't hold its value half as well as a nice new 330ci

Ummm, 350Zs dont come with turbos.. It's a N/Aed 3.5 liter V6. Anyway, it all depends on your point of view also. The 330Ci has 5 seats, the Z only has 2. The 330 would be my choice, but the 350Z has more torque and outpowers it. As far as handling goes, I'm not quite sure, so I cant say. But anyway, whats the point of this thread?

The 350Z is not a bad bang for the buck and the first couple of years did have a few issues (sporadic transmission failures) . . . I'm actually in the process of selling my Z and look forward to purchasing a M3 (e46) sometime within the next year.

As for performance, I think the edge goes to the Z when driven properly, but hey, I haven't had a stock Z for almost a year (TT Kit) . . . here's the beast





I do love the Z, but I think its time to move onward towards a vehicle that reflects professionalism and performance. I'm starting to lean away from the aggressive mods . . .

Could someone tell me an estimated price for an excellent condition 02 e46 M3? Should I wait for the arrival of the newest model to allow a reduction in price? I appreciate it.

Yeah definately! Even an e36 M3 would take a 350Z anyday.

[4evrwyntr]

Yeah that. I have some experience with that.

03 350 z 0-60 5.4 secs 1/4 14.1
98 M3 0-60 5.5 secs 1/4 14.0
Do not know e46 stats
Would be a drivers race. And remember mods for the Z are cheaper. TT Z`s are awfully fast and could beat Porches all day long.

[350g]

Nevertheless, for two respectable vehicles, like these, it comes down to the driver . . . although, I do love my TT

350z has a well known transmission problem.

I've driven an 03 G35 coupe which was hooked up, and let me tell you. Its pretty quick, BUT............the ride is absolutely harsh. You feel every little bump in the road, and while I'm a big fan of tight suspension, a bimmer can handle just as good with much more comfort and a smoother ride. We dogged his car to hell, and then dogged mine to hell. His was a little faster, handling was about the same, but my car was much more smooth overall, even the G35 owner was impressed.

Infinity has been impressing me in the last few years though. They have stepped it up pretty well. The only thing that gets me mad is that they named that new sport sedan "the Infinity M"

boooooooooooooo
