Default New to the Scene

Hey guys. I have a BMW 528i and my parents both have BMW's as well. I know very little about 350Z's but I want one. I will have at most 20g's to spend on a car. I'm interested in them cos they look sharp, are very upgradable, and are faster than any BMW i can get for 20g's. Maybe an e36 M3 with over 100K miles but thats garbage.

So, I noticed there are a few different models such as the enthusiast, touring, etc. Please let me know a little bit about each model and what type of upgrades and brands you would recommend.

Thanks a lot, much appreciated.

Try and get at least a 07+. Most of us with 03-06's are sitting here thinking of ways to get our hands on a 07-08 (HR) Z.


If u plan to stay NA then 07+ is for you. All the bolt-ons in the world wont net u as much power on a DE (03-06 usually can hit about 265whp) as a stock HR z makes ( STOCK usually about 275+ whp.)

I have raced many HR Z's and they handed me my *** royally.

E36? Maybe an e46 M3. If you save up a few more dollars I'll sell you my 335i!

i'd love to have a 335i. i went to the BMW driving school in South Carolina and they gave us them. They are such great cars. Wicked fast, handle like no other and can take a hell of a beating. you're lucky you have one

ZOMGZ. If you don't know much about them, read EVERY SINGLE THING. That would make sense, no? Knowledge is power.

If you are enthusiastic get the Enthusiast.
If you like Touring around get the Touring.
Of course the Track is for the Track only.
If you are a basic kind of guy get the Base.

If you really like touring, of course, there is a grand touring.
Have lots of hair or none of it? Roadster is key.

Because that is too easy. They'd rather walk into a flame war. It's much more dramatic that way. And a perfect photo opportunity!
