I think this test were for coupes not sport sedans. Either way I would take my 07 Z any day over the 335 even though the 335 is a little faster. BMWs are fugly imo..nice cars but I would never buy one, they dont attract or appeal to me.

The only 335 drivers I've seen recently have been Asian dudes!

Not surprised. I drove the Z4 coupe on a track (and the M-Coupe). The lack of an LSD for the Z4 really hampers it... more than you'd initially think. That said, it's a great little car, but it far too expensive for what you get. IMO, though, the 350z would be better compared to the M-Coupe. Both are very fun cars, and the M-coupe has plenty of traction with its LSD, so it'd be a very close call. For the price, the 350z wins easily, but if all you considered was performance, I'd say they are equal. The 350z looks a little better (IMO) and has a bit more space, so after you start looking BEYOND the performance, the 350z is just the better choice.
Now as far as the 335i ... well, I like it a lot (and the 335i coupe is damn sexy to me), but it simply isn't a sportscar. It's fun, but not that fun. I'd get it for the 0-60 times, but not for autocross or track. The "comfort" of the car doesn't matter that much to me, but it does have a ridiculous amount of room (it's one of the very few cars where I have an excess of room).
Thumbs up to all the cars though ... the 335i, Z4, M-Coupe, or 350z would be exceptional cars to own.

The Z and the 335 are pretty comparable stock...

However, stock turbo cars are easily modified and generate big performance increases for little money invested.

I personally say that if both cars are stock and both launch...the 335 can take the Z without ne problem. its much more smoother to drive and turn. However, you feel more of a kick in the Z. When it comes to a smooth drive vs. the feeling of speed and excitment...its really up to the driver. I personally have both the 07 335i and an 06 Z. I love to drive both and would have a hard time choosing between the 2. But when i wanna go for a fun drive and wanna speed (ITS WAY MORE FUN IN THE Z) .
