EDIT-
BTW all of the 350Z's i saw today looked very nice... even though they resemble porsche's... Porsche wannabes??? LOL... i'd still get it if i didn't have to give up my C-coupe... very nice car but a little too unpractical for me...

Hey a Z is a pure sports car.
No comparison to a car like the C coupe. with 5 ft of storage capacity.
The Z falls into the same catagory as the S2000 etc.
So if you wanted a sports car, why did you even buy the C class in the first place?
I paid 33K out the door.
Personally the Infinity G35 coupe looks better to me, but haven't found a dealer with one to drive.

My instructor at a track day had a 350Z, it is ALOT of performance for the money. This car was bone stock and was keeping pace with this very nice NSX. That said, it is nearly completely impractical. Its a 2-seater and the storage space is pretty skimpy.
If the 350Z is going to be your second car then go for it, but if its your only car then I'd say keep the C.

the 350z is more of a weekend car and it's very fun to drive.... i'm not sure you want the base model... i don't think it has traction or stability control.... plus i've read reviews about how 1st and 2nd gear are kind of finicky..
if this is your weekend car get the 350Z.... if not then get a C230 coupe.... you could always wait and save up some money for a G35 coupe.... that's a nice ride...

this is tough choice lol
i personally do not like the styling of the c230 coupe what so ever
and i absolutely hate the styling of the 350 Z
g35 coupe seems decent, but its just a rebadged nissan and Z
why dont you consider a 325ci with little options
i know i know you not trading anything in, but im just say hypothetically
actually one of my friends was considering a nice coupe around low 30s
he said he wanted a g35 or a Z.
i asked him if he consider a 3 series as well. he said sure.
well we check out all the cars and it was no brainer, he is now lookin at a 325ci. all the nissan has is hp and thats it

G35 is not JUST a rebadged Nissan. It's a rebadged NISSAN SKYLINE as well...

The M3 still performs better than the G35/Skyline tho, but for twice as much $$. Just like the C32 cost twice as much as the new EVO 8 that performs the same if not better on the track.

BMW is known for handling & performance, & the 3, 5, & 7 Series are all pretty much considered tops in their class for all-around performance (performance as in acceleration, handling, & braking).
