Money no object or I have the financial means, the BMW M coupe, and this is coming from the guy who's always on the other side of the BMW fence on these boards. I love the M coupe, love the way it looks insides and out, wish hey put the i6 turbo engine but the previous gen m3 motor does just fine. Rare to see a car of its price point to have a design with so much passion in it. Other cars are beautiful like the cayman, but the m coupe is just playing by its own rules yet still reconizably traditional. Note that I haven't mentioned a single thing about performance because for me, for this car, it doesn't need to be #1 on every comparo list to sway my vote.
But since the 60K maitenance on this car would render me eating ramen for a month or contribute to the credit mess, 370z will be my choice, and a happy one at that.

i would hop into a z4M, the 370z looks good but the z4M in my mind is a car i would rather drive. its all up to you

I've never driven the Z4M coupe but drove the normal one at the BMW event. I actually loved the normal one. I liked the profile and how I felt in the thing. I somehow think the all the dials and buttons on the 370Z are placed on top of my head. I really need to go check it out. It looks that way from the pics. I dont like cars that look like they swallow me or make me feel like I'm a baby sitting in a bathtub. I'm only 5'8 150lb too. You're making me want to give the Z4M a strong look. Damn it. I cant remember off the top of my head the last year they made them. 08 or 09?? I have a feeling it will be a special car in the long term like the horse-shoe //M's from the previous years. You never see those suckers.

Having sat in and driven a 350z, I doubt the 370z would be much of an improvement. I would go with the BMW M. Both are equally unreliable in my honest opinion

A new Z4 coupe just got the green light? Source please? There's absolutely no mention of this on ALL the Z4 forums.

Onehots2k just greenlighted it.

First year 370z might have kinks that need working out, I'd go with the M

Dude, those Z4 forums are the last to find out anything. Its sad. They werent even interested in the Z4 spyshots. Now they're all hooked. I'll shoot u a PM. The next Z4M will not be a conv. It will only be available in coupe form.

The Z2 is still marching forward as well.

Thanks Saki..

If you're talking about the Z4M Coupe, I'll take the Z4M coupe over the 370Z. But I'd prefer an '08, not '06.
I've read that the earlier model years had problems with gear grinding.
I don't think they fully fixed the issue, but had less issues with later models.
This was pretty big on their forum.
I almost bought one, ya know.

I don't know, I gotta test drive the 370Z before making the decision.

from my understanding the ne Z4 will be a hardtop vert, with the 300hp engine as an option, who knows what they will use for the M version, they are heavily discounting theZ4m's that they have left on the lots, dont know if that includes the coupes as well...looked at Porsche's last week and those were only being discounted $10,000 of msrp, maybe you should check out a newwer one, i will be looking at some Z4m verts this weekend, will give you guys a follow up on exactly how much they are discounting them.
