Hi, I'm new to the forum.

I'm looking for a new motor and having previously owned a BMW Z3 M coupe I need some help in deciding. The M coupe is now a bit long in the tooth and the interior is dated. So I'm looking at either the Crossfire or the 350Z. I am in the UK.

I have so far test driven the Crossfire (auto) and am looking at taking a drive in the manual to compare.

Not arranged a drive in the 350z yet, need your opinions on if I should bother or not. It certainly doesn't look as good, but according to the specs it is faster.

Also, if I go for the crossfire, what colour should I get? Looking at the Graphite at the moment but considering Black along with the cost savings it brings.

Anyone know of any good deals going in the UK on these at the moment to help me get the best price?

I think auto is the best bet as it seems more popular and therefore will be easier to re-sell in the future.

Any help much appreciated.
