After 5 great years, I've traded the Z for a used BMW 335i.

The decision had nothing to do with the Z, which has been a blast to drive and was absolutely problem-free. The only issue was its lack of a back seat. My fiance has a 12-year-old daughter, so more seating has become a necessity.

Thanks to all on this board for the advice and entertainment. I'll still be checking in occasionally to see what's happening in the Z community.

P.S. - With the change, I'll be selling my OEM Bose headunit and an '06 airbox with K&N filter. Link is here: https://my350z.com/forum/socal-marke...ml#post7958642

 

Nice, I was a step away to getting a 335i when I found a buyer for my car, but he backed out at the last minute. Have fun with it, it's one fast ****

 

^+1 335i's are quick cars

 

Good choice on the 335i!!! I'd love to have one someday. Enjoy the new ride

Nioce 335!!!! Congrats Op!

 

Thx. Wheels and other mods will have to wait until I get ahead on the payments. Even used, these babies ain't cheap!

 

Congrats! That's an upgrade.

 

noice upgrade!

 

Nice choice. The 335i is actually faster than a stock Z.

 

It has plenty of power -- 300 hp and 300 ft lbs of torque from 2000 rpm on up.

And because it's a twin turbo setup, it's easy to squeeze more out of it with aftermarket "enhancers" like the Juice Box, etc.

 

OP Congrats on the 335i...however, being an owner of one I will say they do have reliability issues. My turbos failed me just shy of one year of owning it...amongst other issues. I hope it's still under warranty. Crazy as it sounds, but my boosted G is more reliable than my 335i. I wish you the best of luck with it.

 

Agreed, the 335i has had reliability issues. I'm hoping for the best, but in the worst case, I have a warranty for the next 3 years or 100K miles.

Fingers crossed...
