What a dilemma....!
Hi all,
Recently posted a thread about ordering a new white 350Z through my company car scheme. The car order is going through an internal process about to wing it's way over to the lease company when I spotted a new 'entrant' on our car scheme list.
Yep, the 135i M Sport has come in at the same price as the 350Z albeit with less extras than the Zed.
Now this poses a dilemma.
All reviews pitching the 135i against Zed prove the Beemer to be the better car and quite a bit faster - 0-100 in 12.5 secs!!!
I am currently getting an internal quote on the 135i to compare to what I will pay through our car scheme including extra's etc.
Does leave me in a dilemma though... I was all set to get a Zed, but I am quite interested in the mighty quick 135i..... arrgggghhhhhhh
Going to Sytner after work to try and get some discount on the extras, this might help make the decision....

The Zed is a *much* better looking car. Have you test driven the Beemer?
Going to take a look and hopefully organise a testdrive ASAP for a definitive opinion.
I would be getting a Zed coupe so it's down to 2 seats v 4 seats, and not too bothered which I get.

If style aint your thing, then I would go for the faster one!
Put it this way, which car would the chicks like!?!?

I don't doubt the BMW will be good to drive
BMW don't make rubbish fast models
Speed isn't everything though and the zed isn't exactly slow
Cars like the 135i just look like poor relations to their bigger brothers
The Z stands out in its own right
imho of course

The White Zed.

Stay away, keep your sights set on the Z!!
Admitedly the initial reports on the 135i M Sport is good and according to Evo it is a cult car in the making.
But the Z in white and their fab new V6 will be a sure fire winner
