Who wants to bet you can get this fully loaded for the price of a stripped down335i sedan. Who wants to bet C/D is going to come up with some flimsy excuse (like bad manual transmission) to ensure their favored 335i comes first Who wants to bet the 328i is going to be considered better than the G37 sedan with 328hp plus more (much much more) I cant wait to see these auto magazine guys try to talk their way out of this one. To those wise enough to see the light, keep us posted, we will be joining you soon:)

Replying to: johninnj (Aug 11, 2008 7:12 am) In my case, the price for a fully loaded G35 is probably going to get you a 335i equipped like a Hyundai Elantra, not my piece of cake if you know what I mean.

I'm considering both of the above cars with manual transmissions. I've driven the 335i twice. An absolute joy. I've driven the G35 sport once (there is only one in the entire DFW area, and 3 in the state of TX), and can say that I thought the driving experience was not as smooth with the manual transmission as the 335i(although I thought it better than driving the 5-speed automatic). The G35 still had plenty of get up and go, although I could definitely tell the torque range differences between the two cars (favoring the 335i), and I thought I understood some of the C/D reviewers minor complaints (although I never stalled the car in taking off - may be I wasn't driving aggressively enough). So, from a driving standpoint, I think the 335i wins out, at least in my short experience. But as others have mentioned, I thought the 335i was a car friendly mainly to the driver, whereas the G35 was much better configured as a sedan with four doors (and so taking into account that there may, at times, be others riding in the car than the driver). Then there is the price difference of about $9k - $10k, and I've heard much about a BMW's potential reliability issues (and seen/heard no similar complaints with respect to Infinitis). I guess I'm just trying to get a few more thoughts from anyone interested in sharing whether they think the extra upfront cost is worth the driving benefits of the 335i, especially considering that my family (spouse and 1-year old) may occassionally ride in my car. I probably won't ever visit a track with these cars, so query whether I need either one of them, but I would certainly enjoy spicing up the daily commute to and fro, and I think either car would do that trick quite easily.

Replying to: SergeyM (Aug 24, 2008 10:52 am) One thing people need to consider is if you ask a lot of drivers out there, no matter what they are driving, they will tell you their car is a pleasure to drive. My point here is, no matter which car you buy, its going to be a pleasure to drive. Just my 2 cents
