Thread: Bmw 3351

I looked at Beemers and other euro performance cars when replacing my classic Nissan 300ZX twin turbo recently. Common advice from mechanics/owners was be very wary of any euro more than 5 years old or over 100ks - unless under warranty. Expensive to fix and also to service.

A friend just had his Audi S4 (4.2 V8 wagon) in for routine service and it cost him $650. I bought a Nissan 350Z to replace my 300ZXTT as a weekend toy, and its last service was $90.

I'd be wary of any euros 10 years old - and the 335i beemer is still only 300hp from its two small turbos. This is same hp output as the recent Nissan Skyline and the Fuga which Tommy recommends. I agree with him - think twice about the old beemer and take a look at the VQ35 V6 powered Nissans - great motor, hell of alot more reliable, go hard, and much cheaper to run. Really getting to like my 350Z - tons of power and it leaves the money in the pocket. Note my runaround driver is a Toyota Corona which like the Camry runs forever - a man has to be sensible!!
