I think once you drive both it will be very apparent what you want. The Z06 is an all around faster car, but the BMW is nice too. When I was car shopping I knew that I wanted a Z06 and nothing else. I think the LS6 will win you over after you get behind the wheel of a Z.

Drive them both and see which one you like the best. You are on a Corvette forum so pretty much everyone is going to say get the Vette, which is what Im saying too 
, and if you went to a M3 forum they would probably say get the M3. Its all personal preferance. Good luck.

Hi, I say pick the Vette! Did that surprize you? I didn't think so. Kelly Blue book says that average mileage is 55,000 so this car shows HALF that figure. Good for the car, but maybe NOT so good for price negotiations. But it is the best (or close to it) time of the year to buy a Vette. Blue Book places (with 25K miles) retail at $38715.00 and a trade in value at $32375.00 So there is your starting points. Go for it! And Good luck.

Buy an 01 MN6 vert and with the $$ you save TT the fox.
