Ekona Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 I think you might need to provide a few more details, and drive both to see what you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynchyy Posted August 22, 2021 Author Share Posted August 22, 2021 (edited) I’ve drove both today. Can’t make my mind up. Edited August 23, 2021 by Lynchyy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GranTurismoEra Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 135 is more modern and ive heard a lot of noise about tuning capabilities. They tend to be loose at the rear. The 370 offers more enthusiast drive for those not chasing luxury or numbers. Also get the feel good factor when out and about and wanting to go for a drive Depends what youre after. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Umster Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 If you need the rear seats, BMW. If you want attention and a novelty, 370Z. Owned both, much prefer the Z personally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_Muxlow Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 My brother had an M135i beemer and he has got rid of it for a Focus ST as it was a little soulless after a couple of years. It was a complete missile though. after an upgraded exhaust and intercooler and air filter, it was pushing 380-400bhp. I had my 370z and I prefer the Zed. But just my opinion.

docwra Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Actual 135i or M135i, how old? Ive got an E82 135i and I cant see where the 370 is better other than the way it looks, F20's are pretty damn good too. A few minor mods on the Bimmer (LCA's, ARB's, cheeky map) and it becomes a LOT better, the older ones are starting to go up in value too 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But looking to upgrade within next 2 weeks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynchyy Posted August 23, 2021 Author Share Posted August 23, 2021 Looks like you can get both in and around the 10k mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had 200SX's before a Z33 and always described the Z as a step forward in terms of driving dynamics as it just did everything better, the E82 is a step forward from a Z IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
