nrenz123 Posted June 15, 2017 Author Share Posted June 15, 2017 (edited) Well, the car is now up for sale and has been returned to standard, I'll be very sad to see the car go, the 370Z was a car that I was desperate to own since I first saw one when I owned my 350Z. On the positive side, I've ordered my new car, from a brand which i've never experienced - BMW, an M140i Shadow Edition to be exact. New car is due to arrive at the end of August, so this gives me a few months to shift the Zed, worst case i'll just have two toys until it does sell. I know the 1er isnt to everyone's taste, especially when I think the 370Z is such a stunner, but with the face lift I think it's a cracking looking car. Going from dyno results, they tend to put out a bit more power that quoted so should be around 350-360bhp and around 510NM of torque - not to be sniffed at. I went for the auto box and the adaptive suspension with quite a few extras, I drove the manual and auto, both excellent and not a lot between then, but decided on the auto as it's a tad quicker, better on fuel and cheaper to tax. Should look pretty much the same as this but with the leather interior and black dash trim. Edited June 15, 2017 by nrenz123 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nrenz123 Posted July 4, 2017 Author Share Posted July 4, 2017 Looks like my journey with this car will be coming to an end this weekend, I'm taking a deposit for the sale tomorrow and the car should be gone by the weekend which I have mixed emotions about. I'll be sad to see it go but at the same time glad there will be no overlap of the Zed and M140i While I wait till August for M140i to be delivered, I have bought myself a little runabout to last me till then, a Corsa C 1.2 SXi, so, for the next few weeks I shall mostly be found loitering in McDonalds car parks . I'll still be around on the forum though . I promise I wont bring a Corsa to any meets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only the 1 series. Dad had one for a company car and we all hated it. I had an E46 318i for a first car and enjoyed it, until I drove a 370z. Was a toss up between an E92 m3 or a 370z nismo... needless to say the Nismo was the smarter financial decision Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 1 series coupe was okay, but the 2 series is so much nicer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nrenz123 Posted July 4, 2017 Author Share Posted July 4, 2017 Ah the last generation then, this is two models later, almost like comparing an 350Z DE to a 370Z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nrenz123 Posted July 7, 2017 Author Share Posted July 7, 2017 Car is now gone and i'm Zedless, I was gutted seeing it drive off but the new owner comes from a 350Z background and seemed a top bloke. This is going to be a long 6 weeks in the Corsa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
