I took delivery of mine last week, Blue Slate with all packages plus rear wing. So far I love it. I am coming from a 2002 BMW M3, and this car may not be quite as fast or harsh, but it is MUCH nicer for under $40k too. I love the interior, seats are great, stereo I think is very good and I love the Music Box, performance is outstanding, really feels fast and sounds solid too. Overall I am very happy with it for $38k+ taxes. I was also looking at the BMW 335xi, but that came out to $51k+ taxes with the NAV. For $13k less I will take the G35 and $13k in gas.

We just picked up our black on black X-Sport on the 12th. Paid a little under $500 over invoice. Nav/Tech/Prem/spoiler.
 
The G35 is a very fast vehicle, the sport does tighten up the ride to our liking and is not harsh in the least, along with the sport seats up front we feel this option is worth it. I don't think we would have purchased a G without this option being available.
 
The rest of the options features or cosmetic with the front and rear slightly altered (I'd have to see a non-sport next to it to tell the differences though), aluminum peddles, and the paddle shifters I prefer over the column, but are more of a gimmick IMHO. I do also like the 18" wheels over the standard 17s.
 
As far as the radio, it's fine for my wife and I. What complaints have you heard? She has some minor complaints about the radio reception and how the 18 presets are set up. We have yet to test the hard drive. The Ipod interface is nice and we've used this although scrolling through all the songs/artists could be simplified if there was an alpha sort type feature.

Thanks very much for your thoughts...my silver one is on order and due within a few weeks. I opted to not have the nav. because I like my Garmin so much; so I think that's partly responsible for my wait time. All of the ones on our Columbus OH lot have the nav. installed. I share your opinions regarding the sport upgrades too - I think it's well worth the extra $1100 or so; especially for the 18" wheels.
 
As far as the radio is concerned, many others on different threads have complained about the quality. I have driven an 'O4 TL for a few yrs, and although the DVD audio is amazing, the XM, radio, and CD formats are just OK. I guess different people have varying expectations regarding what they want to hear in their car!
 
I can't wait to get mine. I'm glad to hear you've had a good experience with yours so far. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts here.

Talk to me about the switch from the 2002 M3 to the G35xS. I am also contemplating the same and wondered about your experience so far. Overall feel, stereo difference with H&K, quality?

Well, so far I really do like the G35x. I thought I would miss the M3 but do not. The G35x really is a quick car, not quite as flat out fast as the M3, but very close and much smoother. I haven't really pushed the G too hard yet though since it is still brand new (500 miles) so can't really tell you about pure handling, braking, etc..but the feel is very very good.
 
I love the interior. Seats are great, very supportive with the same side/hip bolsters that the M3 had. Interior overall much much nicer and far more technology. Yes, it is a lot newer though which would be expected, but even compared to the 335i it is much nicer. NAV is very nice, also the Bose system with the Music Box hard drive is pretty sweet. Takes a few mins to copy a CD to the hard drive though, but over time you can put all you have on there and be able to search through easily. I also like that you can preset AM/FM/XM on the presets in any combination you want. Sound is much better than the HK from the M3 too, never really thought it was any good and worth the extra $.
 
I found the sticker on the M3 too, $55k 6 years ago. The G came out to $37,800. Almost $20k less, well worth it.

Greetings!
Just placed an order for a G35xS
Black / Stone
Prem, Nav, Sport, Tech, Spash, Net!
Cant wait. Was hedging between this and the 6MT. Think I made the right choice for Ohio.
 
As for the wheels.... just saw one at the dealer and they definitely are like those in the above pic... the 7 spoke, split variety... with equal size (rotatable!) tires.

Sorry, but it was necessary to delete a picture that was too wide for the margins. If you are going to display a picture, please be sure that it fits within the text area. If it is larger, it distorts the page to the point where all messages on the page accompanying the picture are unreadable.
 
You can ensure this by adding height and width paramenters to your image display (e.g., height="312" width="444"), or you can post it on your CarSpace page and use the automatically generated text to do it for you.
  
Or you can just post a link to it instead of displaying it.
 
Thanks!!
