Also, for the 335, there are piggyback chips like Procede that makes the car close to 400HP. That same chip will work with the 135 (since it has the same NS4 Direct Injection Engine w/ Twin Turbo setup).
One thing I love about the Z is the design and the power it delivers. The car came out in 2003, and was ahead of its time when it came to power and performance all in which can be had for under 30k MSRP. But nismo goes for over 30k+ and there are many cars to choose from 30-40k range. I remember going to the Chevy dealership and they were getting rid of the 07 Corvette C6 for 39k (to make room for the new LS3 engine on the 08 models).
I would pass, but thats just my intake. Nismo is a nice car, and if you want a factory performance car from NISSAN, then Nismo is definately worth looking at.

Nismo Rocks
I got the Nismo and it may be ugly to some, but no matter where I drive this car it gets the L00ks. At the store today I was going to pay for my things and the cashier looked out the window and said Wow! look at that car out there! I replied with , Thats my nismo 350z with 240 miles on it. It is brand new.. He came to see and desire. It was funny to see how people get. Especially when it looks down right like a Badass exotic car just sitting out in the parking lot.

The Tii is hot, but it's 4-cylinder engine. A high revving 4 banger should be fun, but the easy to mod turbo engine in the 135i is one of it's biggest pluses.
And if the Tii approaches 50K, then I'd look consider a M coupe or perhaps a Cayman S, either used or a new one which can be had with significant discounts.
Here are a few threads about the 350Z/nismo vs the 1er on the 1-series forum.

really? hmm I don't know why everything was so expensive when I had BMW..
They weigh about the same. The 135i has almost 30 more pound-feet of torque. With a tweaked, track-ready suspension, the Nismo will handle better.
Assuming that the performance is going to be similar, I think the question comes down to styling. Personally, I love the way the Nismo looks. Gauging by the number of people who honk, wave and/or stare while I am driving down the street -- and the people who I still find milling about my car very regularly when I am coming out of the grocery store, I'd say that most people are going to agree that the Nismo is more stylish than the rather bleh looking 135i.
Maybe you should look at getting one of the 135i hatchbacks: the Civic drivers would certainly be jealous.
