nixy Posted December 2, 2009 Posted December 2, 2009 i've been in one recently - its quite cute but defo one for the girls. Quote
UNABASHED Posted December 2, 2009 Posted December 2, 2009 I normally like the look of BMW's, but I don't like that! Quote
zedwagon Posted December 2, 2009 Author Posted December 2, 2009 i've been in one recently - its quite cute but defo one for the girls. yes, i think you could only drive it if you were a girl, but then again i used to have a MX-5!. i saw one last night and i thought it looked quite good. reminded me of a shoe - a rugged sort of goth trainer/boot with a platform heel...mmmm...must be the hormones... can't find the right picture, but something like this...

ed zed Posted December 2, 2009 Posted December 2, 2009 its not wrong to like these.... the 135i coupe is really quick they always give the Z a damn good run for its money Quote
nixy Posted December 2, 2009 Posted December 2, 2009 they're really good cars and very efficient. and you're allowed to like anything girly as YOU ARE ONE! Quote
givememorepower Posted December 2, 2009 Posted December 2, 2009 Your balls must have started shrinking Quote
Ekona Posted December 2, 2009 Posted December 2, 2009 Like the outside, love the engine, hate the interior. It's just such a dull place to be, and coming from a Zed owner that's really saying something! Great cars to drive though, and the 135i would be quicker than a 350 just about anywhere you'd care to mention. Quote

stanski Posted December 2, 2009 Posted December 2, 2009 Oh no...... (suppose I cant say anything driving a tank! ) Quote

stanski Posted December 2, 2009 Posted December 2, 2009 I thought we were both going to get these later on my dear! Bit like Hart to Hart! Quote

And which one would get a second glance? Quote
Ekona Posted December 2, 2009 Posted December 2, 2009 That 3L twin turbo engine has more torque over a broader range, as well as a more modern chassis that is smaller and more nimble. I'm not saying it's completely the better car (if it was then I'd own one), but to suggest that it wouldn't be quicker point to point and stock for stock with a Zed wouldn't be correct IMHO. A quick remap on it would give silly figures, and you'd have to spend daft money to get the same amount in the 350Z. In some angles I even prefer the looks of the 135i, but as an overall package to someone who doesn't like turbo engines I'll be sticking with my ragtop Datsun for now. Quote

I never suggested it wouldn't be quicker, I said there wouldn't be that much in it. When you compare 5.4s to 60 rather than 5.6 the facts tell me there won't be much in it The 1 series is a pure girls car, and the 350z is one of very few convertibles it's cool for a guy to drive without looking like a hairdresser.

as2bsc Posted December 2, 2009 Posted December 2, 2009 I think they look great- My missus has been looking at em, I'd still rather take the Zed though! Quote
Harman350z Posted December 2, 2009 Posted December 2, 2009 ((( Would have to have a decent set of alloys tho IMO ))) Quote

An S1 Elise has a 0-60 time greater than a Zed, but you wouldn't see which way one went in reality (although that's weight and chassis above than in-gear shove). I don't think the 135i is particularly girly at all, not so compared with an MX-5 or MR-2. It's not brawny like a Zed coupe, but I would consider it happily on a level with the 350 ragtop. Quote
