Default Sold the BMW and BOUGHT the Z!!!!!

Just traded in my 328i!! I originally bought a 2004 Enthusiast 350z and loved it!! I have had ALL the Z's except the 260z. I have missed the Z since I sold it, and I finally traded the BMW in for a PEARL White Base Z with the Sports Package. I have always bought Near Base cars, but once I put my eyes on those Wheels, tires, BRAKES, LSD and the syncro rev matching 6 speed I HAD TO get the sports package. NO REGRETS here!!! Even though I havent gotten her above 4000 rpms yet, WOW!!!! The HANDLING is a HUGE improvement, not to mention the interior. When I cross the 1400 miles, I let you know the power difference! Here is some pictures

Looks great! Z34 is now starting to grow on me.

Drilled front bumpers scare me though; hasn't someone introduced a grill-mounted plate brace yet?

Before you picked up the 328, did you try the 335? Just wondering how it felt compared to the 370. Anybody else tried both? Btw, congrats on the Z!

I think it's etched into the rear window, right down the middle.

According to the manual the antenna pattern is printed inside the rear window. Looks like you have to be careful with metalized tint for both the Radio and the Tire pressure sensors.

I did drive the 335, and reallly liked it, its a great car and even has a back seat. I cant take anything from it, but the Z has a PASSION when you drive it, it feels faster, its probably just preference. The 335 is probably easier to mod, I mean you can add 100 hp for about $450. But the Z made me happier. I know this isnt the answer you are looking for. It didnt hurt the Z was almost 10k cheaper though
