Great point:) Thanks. I absolutely agree with you but would add:
 
I brought in the S4 into the discussion, its a car similarly priced as the 335i yet faster, is a german car so those who are german car freaks will not argue it handles just as well, is loaded with features and has an absolutely great interior, and did I mention its priced just like the 335i. BTW, the German magazines are overwhelmingly voting in its favor in comparisons between the 2.
 
The problem I honestly have with the 335i is I never thought at any stage that this car was worth the premium over the G, the S4 I would consider at that price since it actually does surpass the G at everything other than projected reliability. "Superlative driving dynamics" are not exclusive to the German manufacturers, if an Evo (Japanese) can be recognized as having great track manners, so its not hard to imagine that Nissan (who produce the GTR btw) can do just as good a job as BMW.

"but to argue that the G37 only offers "bells and whistles" is just silly."
 
Read my post again - that's not what I said. Summary:
 
BMW = superior driveline and suspension refinement, fewer features, higher price.
 
Infiniti = somewhat less refinement, more features, lower price.

"I brought in the S4 into the discussion"
 
It's a nice car, but If it's not RWD, it's not on my radar.

I owned the 335 coupe for a year. It was, bar none, the most fun car I've ever owned, and I've owned a lot. But for whatever reason, i brought it in four times for engine failure issues. they thought it was all sorts of things, but finally narrowed it down to high ethanol content in the fuel. my neighbor had the same car with no problems. i since have bought a 535 and have had no problems.

Noted, the reviews have said it drives just as well as a RWD once you get the sports rear differential package. Go test drive it, you will be suprised:)

I'm not a fan of AWD, but I have read that Audi has closed the gap with BMW, so maybe I should drive it. I've only driven one Audi before - a 2004 A4 1.8T. I was not impressed.

I was considering the same two vehicles and ended up with the G37 sedan (not the coupe).
 
1. More rear seat room in the G37 (IMO).
2. Concern about the longevity and reliability of the twin turbos on the '335.
3. G37 ~$10K cheaper.
