surprisingly, i didn't realize that the 350Z and the Z4 (the 2.5i) were about the same price... but if i was getting the Z4, i would probably want the 3.0i, which steps you up about $10k over the 350Z (~$34k vs. ~$44k)
performance-wise, you need the 3.0 to stack up against the 350Z
while the 350Z has 287bhp and 274 lb/ft and the Z4 only has 225bhp and 214 lb/ft, the Z4 is about 300 lbs lighter.
0-60: 350Z-5.7 Z4-6.0
1/4 mile: 350Z-14.3 Z4-14.6
skidpad: 350Z-.86g Z4-.91g
fuel economy is about the same, except the 350Z has a 20gal tank against the Z4's 17gal.
braking is fairly similar.
one thing for the 350Z: 6-speed manual instead of 5
one thing for the Z4: over twice the trunk space
i personally would save myself the 10grand and get the 350Z, but when it all comes down to it, it's really just a matter of personal taste.
