'07 G35 Sedan or '06 BMW 550i?
I am not traditionally a BMW guy, and I just decided to keep my car over a new MB C350; BUT, I just ran across a damn good deal on an black 06 550i loaded up with sport and premium packages, xeonons, nav, 360 HP, etc etc... Should I consider it if I could hold the same monthlys?!?! haha.

I didnt go with the MB b/c I just felt like I wouldnt be getting MORE car for my money, in this instance though, it could be different.

I wonder how much quicker the 550i is than the G?

Faster u go 550 will pull from the G with ease. If u can get the same monthly, get the 550. 550 is almost as fast as the E39 M5. Go for it!

I would hold off on the 550i until the 555i comes out.

It would be a purchase w/ monthlys of about $500. I have my G 1/2 paid off. I know the guy needs to unload it, its already marked pretty cheap, I will have to see if he would go enough to make it work. I think its on consignment at a local dealership, and they are willing to take trades since they like my G-

NEVERMIND!!!!!! false alarm! The dealer called the owner, apparently the car just got there yesterday, asking price is $53,900, not $43,900. That changes things drastically.

G35 FTW!

Would have been a sick trade for that price if the car was pretty loaded. Oh wells, you just saved yourself $44K for mods.

Yeah, its loaded, has everything. Interestingly enough, I have done some searches, and you can find them for $43k and less. 06 sport, premium, nav. I am looking around a little....
