Lee370Z

Hello and welcome. I've had my 370Z Roadster for over 7 years now, and I don't see all that many out and about either.

I'd also prefer it with a manual as well I think.

Blimey, and that is expensive isn't it?

I've read that this is becoming available in Europe this year, so that is good news I reckon.

My rears started grinding the day I picked it up, so I got them changed, and then my fronts started grinding a few years later. So they were changed too. I wish there was a brake pad wear indicator to be honest, because you can't do a quick visual check every now and again like you can on other cars in comparison.

Mine varies a lot between the cars. The Caterham 7 is £180 a year. The 370Z is £300 a year, but the F82 M4 is £1100 a year, and the GLE400d is £1300 a year. The Caterham and 370Z basically stay the same every year, whereas the M4 and GLE go up £200 every year in comparison. Bloody German cars! I do wonder if a multi car policy would be a better bet, but I've heard that multi car policies are great for the first year, but then they shoot up loads after that though.

I liked that in my E92 M3 as well. Well I did until it packed up though! It was fixed under the warranty thankfully though.

Congratulations OP! I've wanted a G82 M4 xDrive for years(I currently have a F82 M4). I bet it is an absolute rocket. Enjoy it.

I'm personally not a fan of Continentals. However I have got PS4 on the 370Z, and PS4S on the M4/GLE400d. However for sidewall sexyness it has to be the PS5 as mentioned though.

Welcome to the forum. Your car is lovely, and I love that much more modern touch screen that you've put in. I was using the nav in mine the other day, and I felt like I was waiting for years for it to do something/anything! I'm used to a 2018 BMW and a 2022 Merc, so their systems are obviously miles quicker in comparison. Enjoy your car.

I missed this first time around, but that is absolutely lovely Martin. My uncle used to have a white one years ago, and I always enjoyed going out in it for sure. Keep enjoying it.

I think that HFCs are one of the best mods that you can do. As said they do add a lot of volume, but you also get a nice and pronounced change in tone as well.

What I love about the 370Z is that the engine actually feels torquey for a naturally aspirated engine, whereas I always thought that the E92 M3 felt like it was lacking in torque in comparison for some odd reason though.

I regretted going for the manual in my E61 520d Touring, and I personally think that the auto suits the engine better.

Agreed. Don't get me wrong I love a 3 pedal manual, and both my 370Z and Caterham 7 are manuals. However the S65 V8 engine in the E9x M3 really benefits from the DCT I think as you say.
