350Z or 330Ci

[ahmedgiyab]

My friend in Hungary asked me which one to choose... :roll:

I told him that the 350Z is a relatively new model but the straight six for the

330 is better (I guess)...plus that there will be a new 3series by 2005... so

I'm really confused coz both are great cars... :roll:

Pls...help me with your comments!!!

Thanx in advance! :wink:

Well, I ain't seen the new 3series, but judging by how the 1-series looks, it may be ugly. Still, I think the current 330i is better than the 350Z, BMW > NISSAN. Simple equasion :D

How about turning this topic into a poll ??

[corvette97]

i think a 330ci with a M kit is way better, but the 350z is faster, i would choose a 350z touring black with orange brunt interior :wink:

[skituner]

330ci all the way!!!!!!!!!

[schnell318]

350Z is faster and it´s design is more shocking but I think the 330ci is the better car.

[Drogear]

The 350Z has a big ass and it is much uglier than the 330ci! Since I have a 330ci I might be a little biased though!

Get the 330, it has a much better balance of performance, luxury and looks.

The interior finish of the 350 is very bad.
The trunk cannot fit golf clubs.
It's a Nissan.

i think the 330 is a better car overall, but ill go with the z cause its more sporty, more go than show, not like the 330 that has alot of confort, and i love the z s exterior and interior even though alot of people dont like it, also the engine sounds great, so it depends what he wants, comfort= 330, sportiness=z

[ahmedgiyab]

I think that the 330 is very close to the 350Z in means of performance....

I think a straight six(I6) is better than a V6....coz this is what everyone says... :roll:

I heard about the poor quality(interior) of the Nissan....anyway THANX everyone!!!

Exactly. . .

Depends on what you want. I see the 330 as more of a luxury sports car, whereas the 350Z is more of a traditional sports car that has A LOT of potential to be a beast.

The chassis on both cars are awesome. The Nissan's FM plateform is one of the best out there.

In terms of engine, nothing could beat the traditional BMW's straight 6. Just the balance and the smoothness of the engine can't be matched. On the other hand, the Nissan's VQ series 3.5L engine is probably the best engine designed in the last 4/5 years.

Yeah depends on what you want. I own a 328is, and I must say, I personally want more sport. So if it was between the a new 330i and a 350Z, I would give up the comfort and luxury for a traditional sports car. Now if you are talking about a M3, which is the best combination, then there is no question :) .

330Ci.. easy!

[oscargarza88]

i had an idea, something in the middle of those cars, the G35!
it is more luxurious than the 350, yet more sporty than the 330...
and most people like the exterior more.
i think its great 4 him.

i think u should get the 330 we (my familly) have one and its just a pleasure to drive, i have driven the 350 and its really good too but bmw i think is just better than nissan, and if u want a more sporty look, buy the sport package, i comes with all "m" upgrades from tha factory, just the looks, the engine remains the same...
but remember buying bmw is a vice so then ull want another n another n so n so...

[Erez]

i dont know what your all talking about.. the 330Ci is very sporty! its no C-Class :P the Z is over priced IMO.. and still a nissan... the 330 hands down...

[PATo355]

330 all the time , better engine , looks a lot better and its a bmw not some Japanese car that has no identity

[itsthepham]

330 is a piece of trash . if your more performance oriented you want the Z . .. japan is going crazy with parts and what not .. Only a few really know how to tune a BMW engine . .. .

[initiala4]

Bimmmer over Z. Z has crappy interior. Defintely if he wants to cruise in a comfy car, then Bimmer is the way. Well think of this...euro vs jap, which would you get?

[stracing]

350Z all the way! No question about it
Nissan build great sports cars. and they're cheap to tinker with. if money wasn't a concern then only the M3 would be considered in BMW's line up

[MB300E87]

G35 coupe! :D

[altezza]

yup, go for the G35 coupe, u won't be disappointed!
or else get the BMW 330Ci

[cooperluke]

Nissan 350Z is Renault Velsatis engine... :P :P, it sounds like shit...

BMW does the best inline 6 in the world...

I think there is nothing else to say....

[ahmedgiyab]

The G35 has the same engine as the 350Z??? Is it more expensive? :roll:

Sounds good.....looks nice...
