Why does the m2 cost 30k more than the 370 Miami?
Genuinely curious. Regardless of bmw tax it's a lot more

I was thinking the same thing - is this a special edition of the 370Z?

more like 20k more, but M2 outperforms a 370z in every category

Speaking as a former 370Z owner who finally grew tired of waiting for Nissan to refresh the platform, I can say it's cheaper because the 370Zs that are brand new on dealer lots, right now in 2018, are nearly identical to the 370Zs that launched in 2009. Nothing has been updated. Old engine, old infotainment, old interior. Old everything. Nissan can barely move them off the lots as it is now. They have had to hold pricing low because everyone who wanted one has already bought, owned, and moved on by now.
That being said it was a really fun car. I loved it. If it weren't for the wife wanting a back seat so we can go on road trips with our dogs I'd probably still own it. The M2 outperforms the 370 is every category but it's not by much. The Z might give you 8/10ths of what the M does, but at a significant savings. It's still a decent car at a decent price IMO. |

Here in the USA the difference is only $8810, but only if you choose black as your color. If you choose the only other color available (they only offer two colors), pearl white, the price difference is $8415. That's still a sizeable amount of money, but they're close enough to be in the same ballpark.

Agree 100% with @DETroadster on the fact that this vehicle is OLD. So old.. that it was around to compete against the M2 predecessor.. the 1M in this magazine comparo from December 2011. For reference.. in the US.. The 1M was priced from $46K stripper to $53K loaded. The cayman R was around $76K. BMW 1M vs Porsche Cayman R, Audi TT RS, Nissan 370Z http://www.evo.co.uk/bmw/1-series-co...rs-nissan-370z I'll just drop the mic and let you read the review. Hopefully it will answer many of your questions.. For those looking for the reader's digest version.. I believe the results went Cayman R. . 1M.. Nismo 370.. Audi TT RS Last edited by M3 Adjuster; 02-22-2018 at 06:51 PM.. |

In my country for various reasons they're closely tag priced. I rarely see 370 in the wide.
Update its drivetrain (VQ30+ZF8at) and suspension, I guess 370Z (or call it 400Z?) will outperform any M on track that's currently available. If GTR from Nissan has competed with 911, Fairlady is a match for Cayman.

Add an axel back exhaust, front sway bar, and RJM clutch pedal (if 6mt), all for under $1,000 and you will have an excellent driving machine, plus a very dependable car. Another thing to add, while the M2 might be a d**k magnet. Nismo & Sport Z's will also have females notice you. I've surprised a few females taking selfies or pics of their friends as I approached my parked Z. |
