The G35 and G37 coupes have become hard-parker cars. They're also unfun to drive.

I've driven an earlier 135i vert and a Z4. I liked the Z4 a lot more. There's a 5" difference in height between them. The Z4 is much lower. Being a purpose-built convertible, it's probably stiffer.

So prettier, stiffer, lower, and lighter vs rear seats, more stability, and slightly better fuel economy.

I do not like the s2k. I understand why people do, but I do not. A Z4 or 135i will be massively more comfortable, look nicer inside and out, and have more cache with the ladies. Well, maybe not on the outside with the 135i. Both the 135i and S2000 are homely at best.
Lies. S2K is much nicer looking than a Z4. Probably not on the inside though. The interior IS a bit dated.

This topic makes me cringe, the topic creator is obviously looking for a sporty luxury car, not a light weight sports for track days.

I always liked the Z4, they always had good reviews and people who owned them always say nice things. I'd go for the Z4 is you're looking for a nice convertible car with a good dose of sporty. I always thought the 135i was very disappointing, unless modified. The 370Z...well...

And i disagree with the above comment that the G35/37 are unfun cars, they're proper fast in S trim and handle quite well for what they are.
