Why compare a convertible with a coupe?
The z4 is money well spend, the Nissan is... well a Nissan, nuff said.

Yep why to compare a Z4 witch has cock factor almost as big as the M3, with a 370Z witch it's a driver's car.

Agreed, BMW is far more prettier than this cheap looking Nissan, this Z4 is the most beautiful BMW ever made!!

@X6 ur a fanboy who's braking the rule number 8, constantly, so my answer to you will be none, I will just ignore you from now on. And I know that your truck-coupe is compensating your small shoes, if you know what I mean.
@Dalor, I don't know what kind of driver are you, but to pick the Z4 over the 370Z, it's like having sex with Rosie O'Donnell, when your grirlfriend is Megan Fox, don't forget that we are talking sports cars here, not big GT's, not Sedans, not SUV's. A sports car needs to be noisy and violent. And cheap? Wtf man, you either rolling in cash or your a snob who cares to much about the producer logo.

It's not a Z4 M. It's a Z4 Roadster. Ofcourse the Nissan isn't really cheap, but I've driven enough Nissans to be able to tell the quality of the materials is mostly poor.
Your comparison about Rosie O'Donnell and Megan Fox is irrelevant.
BMW delivers great quality and yes they are expensive, but it's so easy to say that's because of the producer logo. The Z4 is balanced, good looking and has a great engine. What else could you want?

Renegade, I think that the Z4 seems to drive a little better than Rosie O'Donnel. The 370Z is more of a driver's car (and most likely the one I would choose), but they're a lot closer than you're implying. A twin turbo I6 with that much power and that little weight is a combination I sure as heck wouldn't mind taking for a ride. Also, if you're judging the car by the people who drive them rather than the engineering behind them and how they perform, should you be judging a car? I'm not really a bimmer guy but they sure can run at the track, noisy or not.

@Dalor. Don't diss Nissan. Renegade will get his ass-less pantaloons in a bunch as he obviously can't judge a car on the basis of merits and flaws. BTW. The 370 is more of a track car than the Z4, as I think that was not the true intent of the Z4 in the first place.
@Renegade. The M3 is very much a driver's car. You know both Nissan and BMW make very good cars. You're as much a fanboy as those you accuse.

Would take the nissan. After owning many BMW's they have aged like Elvis. Bloated and not what they were. Maybe better in traffic. The z is a terror on the track though I have yet to own one.

i dont why some people just wanna diss nissan or whatever jap cars when they dont even know nothing about it, 370Z is better on every point, design, engine, handling.....Z4 is just a cheap gay vehicle for player when they top down the roof and try to race some body, one vote for nissan 370Z, a true tuning car

m.... I'm not sure whether you have a Nissan. I have one at home. It's just 3 months old. I do find my family car is well equip, but..... the build quality is not as good as I expected.... I always heard some strange noice when I open the door handle and the dashboard plastic is really poor..... I have to agree with Jeremy, I would go for the Z4 for less fun, worse equip.....

First of all, BMW is convertible and the Nissan has 26 bhp more and that's a big difference!
But seriously, BMW is much prettier .

Only the fact the Nissan has a V6 and the Z4 has a straight 6 already tells me enough about the quality difference between the cars.

Yeah the Nissan is for the driver. The kind of bloke who will take it on the track as often as is possible. Like me.

I'm sorry, but I like both cars. I've driven both and they each have their strong and weak points. I'd sooner live with the Z4 on a day to day basis. The 370 is sharper to drive but noisy as hell thus more of a headache to drive day in and day out not to mention the interior quality, while leagues ahead of the 350, is still poor. The BMW is more expensive yes, but you get a much better made product. BMW for me thanks

Don't apologize; its good to hear a comment from someone who actually knows something about the cars...better yet, someone who has actually experienced them! Too many people are quick to rate a car they know little to nothing about.

if you want a nice, comfortable coupe/cabrio, get the Z4. if you want a cheaper coupe, get the 370z.
owning a 370z doesn't automatically make you faster than a Z4, not everyone is The Stig.

^and vice versa. if you are slow in one car, you are slow in the other car.

"X6M you are a poser just like the X6M".
How old are you? 8,9??? Read your comment one more time please!!!

What does the X6M have to do with anything? BMW brand whores?? The only poser I see here is you.

This is not a fair comparison and so the result is somewhat expected. I think the Z4 is a beautiful car but not a proper sportscar like the 370Z which you can muscle it around

Quote Dlaor "Only the fact the Nissan has a V6 and the Z4 has a straight 6 already tells me enough about the quality difference between the cars" : care to elaborate on this one?? You think L6's are better quality than V6's? Must mean then that the old skylines are on par with the new Beemer then?
July 28, 2009 11:00 pm
Dlaor
L6 are the greatest engines period. If you want to have a v-configuration, get at least two more cylinders.

just a question, why does the photo gallery has pictures of the old Z4, not the new one?

I would take the bimmer only because everytime I hear that horrible Japanese exhaust I think of a busted '97 Civic with its vin numbers filed down, tinted windows, and a bolt on body kit awaiting paint. The BMW has stature. In all fairness it should have been the BMW vs the new Porsche Boxter.

sorry , with the money you buy a Z4 , i could make my 370Z GT to be on steroid. only thing i hate about Z4 is size and interior space, its been designed for female owners, 335i is for male and 370Z is for male with strong blood pressure :)

those must be really big females if Clarkson fits in the Z4 comfortably.

soft, ugly, non-sporty, female-orientated...that's not the BMW anyone wants. M3 CSL anyone?
