Replying to: blnewto (Nov 10, 2008 9:09 pm) I'm thinking the extra money for the G right now, lower mpg due to the more powerful engine, and the fact that I don't really care as much about straight-line performance, makes me lean towards getting the 330i, because that is one fun car when the roads are curvy!

Replying to: chewy734 (Nov 12, 2008 6:46 am) Extra money for the G? What are you comparing? A new G to a used 330i? If you compare similar years and options, the G is MUCH cheaper. And, obviously you gotta go with what feels right, but the 330i is not superior to the G in the curves. At least not for non-professionals, as I've proven to myself and 330 owners at the autoX. Even with 400lbs extra weight in my G35x, and 2 inches less rubber than the 330iZHP, I have defeated one and been defeated by another. So, until I come upon the tie-breaking race, it seems we are pretty evenly matched. And, mind you, these are ZHPs, not your run-of-the-mill 330i w/ sport pack.

Replying to: qbrozen (Nov 12, 2008 7:46 am) Im regards to the 330i in curves compared to the G35x... I was more afraid to hit the same curves at higher speeds on the G than on the Bimmer. I can't say it wasn't possible, but I didn't feel as comfortable doing it. I don't doubt that the G handles well, but to me it didn't feel as "sporty" as the 330i (sorry, I can't think of a better word to describe it). Now, the G coupe is a whole different story...

Replying to: chewy734 (Nov 12, 2008 9:04 am) Well, there's that whole "feel" thing for you again. The sedan can actually outperform the coupe due to it being lighter. I should also point out that I haven't heard good things about the newer Gs when compared to the older ones. Heavier and softer being some of the complaints. So you MAY want to try out an '06 or '05.

I have been offered $33.25K + TTL for a 2008 G35X with Prem+Nav+Tech package. Has anyone seen a better deal than this ? Any suggestion or guidance is appreciated. I have seen people get 31.75K for prem+nav . . . so what is a fair price if tech is included, ~$800 more ?

As these boards have been very helpful to me, I am posting my information: 2008 G35x Black Obsidian Exterior Graphite (Black) Interior Washi (Aluminum) Trim Premium Package Navigation Splash Guards Cargo Net MSRP: $40.230 My Price: $32.1K+Taxes & Tags for a Cash Deal Ideally, I would like to have bought the car next March when my lease payments on the BMW 330i are over. The rationale for buying now is as follows: 1. My fear was that the manufacturer to dealer incentives for the 2008s would expire by then. 2. Nissan/Infiniti has slashed aggressively the production for the 2009s. As a result, the incentives for the 2009s may not be as good as that for the 2008s -- this is my assumption. 3. I wanted to pick the exterior & interior colors -- surprisingly there are very few of the most popular colors (e.g. black, silver). If you live in NJ and want a blue slate exterior with graphite (black) interior, feel free to wait. There are lots of them almost at every dealer. Good luck.
