I have owned/own all of these cars. Granted the Z was a 350z
Evo X- Great all around car. AWD, 4DR. Mine went low 12's with just a flash from Iveytune. Didnt even try to run the car 100% stock because the stock tune is just trash. Paint sucks, trans needs to be geared different so it doesnt rev so high cruising @ 80-90mph.
350z- Great looking.(my opinion) RWD, but expensive to make more power. Car went 13.5@106 bone stock auto. No room for anything but very fun to drive and this was an 07 with the new VQ35HR motor. The older ones are pretty slow stock.
135I- Great brakes, Fantastic Motor, HIGHER RESALE VALUE, free scheduled maintnance, handling is better than people on here with out any experience with the car think it is and it is RWD. Start checking out the BMW forums and see what kind of power they are making with very minimal mods. The car is a bone stock auto and went 13.1@108. No EVO X is doing that.
A 135i with a JB3, catless downpipes and exhaust are running high 11's @ 120+mph.
Mod for Mod the 135i will smoke the EVO.
Everyone that thinks that a 135i is 35k good luck. Ours was 42k and doesnt have Nav. That price is without tax and tags. Granted we bought the 1st one that came into are local BMW dealer so we only got 1k off of the sticker price.

The only BMW I would consider buying is the M3 or M5. The baby BMW's are too small and ugly looking, plus no rear LSD, just a electronic one. As well as costs a arm and leg to modify.
The 370Z is fantastic stock for stock, however will cost you another arm and leg to modify. The looks appeal to some not to others, its a Nissan and people already having issues with it.
The X is well more spacious than the other two, has 4 doors, AWD, and has a super chassis. Yes, the fit and finish is a bit coarse. However, you can fix most of the minor issues with the car pretty easily. It is brutal at the track, dominating many cars out there without braking a sweat. Is much cheaper to modify than the Nissan or the BMW.
Thus, I chose the X. :-) Plus I am diehard Mitsu fan.

I love the 3 cars; everyone is designed for a different market. You choose how you want to look like according with your personality, but remember this: the word EVO makes any driver to shake their legs. They know nobody buy an evo to left it stock; I’m tired to smoke 335's and 370's. Power and performance wise there is no way. evo rules!!!!!! To drift, buy a 370, to pick up your girlfriend at school buy a BMW. lol
