Default Staying with Z vs getting an E92 335?

I'm facing a dilemma. My Z is almost 4 yrs old now and it's showing its age. It's only lightly modded with JWT intake and Axis 19' Hiro. I'm torn between getting an E92 335 vs rejuvenating the Z by getting some additional mods.

I think the situation is similar to losing the excitement after being with the same woman for 4 yrs. Would you buy her some nose job, face lift, boob job, and total body contouring, or would you just dump her and find a new one?

Help me out, guys!

335 would be a better choice even if you only had your Z for a month!

335 is expensive....it could reach damn close to $50k with options....think about what other cars you can get with that money...

3 series used to be somewhat reasonable price with E46 but they are going up crazy with the new E90/E92. don't you think?

It would make a lot of economic sense to keep and mod my current. Getting the Bimmer means being set back car payment every month.

Keep it. Hold out for a little while for the new GT-R or a 350 replacement. The bimmer is fast, but not as good looking. Where i live BMW's are like taxi cabs, they are everywhere. Do a few more mods to entertain you in the meantime.
