Default trading in the Z for the G!

trading in my silver 06 base z for a 2004 6mt G with brembos, black on black.

i hear a lot of stories about the G and how they burn oil and what not. im going to do a search for the problems, but just wanted some input if i should do it or not.

Don't do it really nothing special!
I traded my 07 335i for my 07 Z Touring & no regrets.
Z is way more fun to drive & way more compliments too!

If u get 335i don't get the "Sport Package" like riding on 4 rocks.
Then again could be more fault of the stupid runflats?

I no way could consider the BMW sedan a sports car like the Z.
Yes the BMW handles better than any car I ever own & cost the most to!

nothing, they're great. I'm saying that he shouldn't do it just because he likes the brembos so much

the 06 calipers are the enlarged the comparisions showed only minor improvements with teh brembros of the past Zs. Its the duration of how long they take abuse to heat and how they tolerate heavy extended use are a vast improvement over the stock brakes. But daily stopping power you would be really pressed to tell with the 06+ brakes.

I thought about that but AI think I'll keep the 350Z and just get a M35/45 or Lexus 350ES/GS instead of getting a near copy of what I have. The G35 sedan awd or coupe is a nice looking car.
