Need some advice

[keff108]

Got a little bit of a decision to make soon. My problem being that my G is 5at. I need to switch over to 6mt and soon. I am literally getting so bored of driving 5at and just need to make the switch. My problem being do I buy another G35 preferably 05-06 or do I buy a E46 M3 04-06. I love both cars and cant really decide which I like better. I love the styling of the G but the M3 is just a mean car. I really am kind of leaning toward the M3.

I just dont know if I can justify buying the same car over again. I feel like I should move on to something else and enjoy that. Stock for stock the M3 is better in almost every aspect. And BMW is a more luxury line then Infiniti. I hope to make my next purchase before the end of summer. I am gonna have to go out and test drive both cars back to back and see which car puts a bigger grin on my face. I have yet to drive a 6mt G so that will be new to me too.

I think I am leaning more towards the BMW but some opinions would help out alot. What do you guys think?

If you can afford the price difference, the M3 is more car for more money. More power, nicer interior, better handling, more exclusivity. You will find few people who can honestly claim that if somebody walked up to them and said "pick-one and it's yours" they'd pick a G35 over an M3.

Downside is not only up-front cost difference but since you're talking several years old you'll be looking at crazy expensive maintenance for the BMW too.
