Interesting perspectives; It's not entirely fair to compare a coupe to a convertible (as the latter is louder, heavier, and less rigid), but apparently the dealers are being a little stingy with the new G convertibles.
 
But the price difference is indeed astonishing...C&D says the G37 is like a 335i for 328i money. It's actually more like 128 money!

You cant go wrong with any of these cars. WhatI have read consistently across the board, the 335i provides the better driving dynamics, the G37 provides good driving dynamics but delivers a whole lot more, e.g. reliability, bells and whistles etc.
 
I think one would be happy whichever way you choose. I prefer a complete package and its hard for me to justify the premium of the fully loaded 335i. Others would not ask this question cos they have deeper pockets, it makes sense to get the 335i in those circumstances.

BMW is having trouble with the 335i engines. Have heard of problems big time. Why would you compare a car that has consistent problems. Just goes to show that BMW does not do force induction well. The M3s a few years ago also had problems. For the price, you expect to have something that doesn't break. The video says it all.

What problems are you specifically referring to? Why not the 535i, 135i, and Z4?

From a pricing perspective the G37 will never compete with the 335i. 335i now has its own set of problems with the new S4. That is the 335i's natural competitor, I am not saying the s4 or 335i is better, just that comparisons yielding a reasonable set of conclusions can only be made between these 2.
 
At last, this G37 vs 335i debate can end, In any case we have always lost to the 335i:)

"we have always lost to the 335i"
 
The G37 is a great car that does compare well with the 335i. But you get what you pay for, and the G does cost $7000 less than the Bimmer.
 
Comparing Japanese and European cars usually boils down to the same equation. Do you want superlative driving dynamics ((driveline, suspension, etc.) at a price premium, or do you want a good, reliable car with lots of bells and whistles and a bargain price?

Cant argue with that. "Superlative driving dynamics " are great when mixed with an engine with great oomph. 335i & S4 do a great job at it and these 2 are simply in their own league, as you said, 1st off they are priced higher, 2nd nothing else comes close in ELLPS in respect of performance (the only ones under 5s to 60)maybe instead of ELLPS, call it Super ELLPS, dont know, whatever you wanna call it LOL. Anyway, lets see how things play out from here

The price difference is more like $12k (probably even higher with current manufacturer rebates), apples-to-apples if you equip them comparably, which is a huge difference. I've driven both, and while the 335i is a fantastic car, I'd argue the G37 offers very nearly the same driving dynamics, superior ergonomics and features, and better reliability, at 20% off the BMW's sticker.
 
To each his own, of course, but to argue that the G37 only offers "bells and whistles" is just silly.
