Replying to: wideglide (May 13, 2008 8:44 am) BMW 335i w/steptronic: 18 city/26 highway/21 composite Pontiac G8: 15 city/24 highway/18 composite Keep in mind, too, that the G8 will run fine on 87; BMW requires minimum 91 octane. I calculated a cost comparison and, using the composite numbers and regular/premium price difference, the G8 would be about 10% more per mile for gas. I usually get around 25 mpg in my 335i, but it's mostly rural/interstate highway driving. I doubt I could match that in a G8 GT. But the 335i is also much more cramped inside; you're obviously trading space for efficiency here (among other things). |

imo, the cache of the 3 series has long worn out...just too many around. now the g8 gt on the other hand...i have yet to see one on the road, and by most accounts, it's a damn fine car! with my limited resources...a g8 gt will work exceedingly well, even if it doesn't quite rate up there (objectively or subjectively) with a bmw.

Replying to: emale (May 13, 2008 11:35 am) As we've all been saying the G8 is not a BMW, however, for $30k you can't get close in terms of SIZE + PERFORMANCE from anything from BMW. -mike |

Replying to: circlew (May 15, 2008 3:59 am) BTW, if you check interior dimensions, the G8 is actually very close to 7-series BMW.
