G37S vs. 335is

So I'm trying to figure out which one I want to buy. The BMW is only a bit more and is a twin turbo inline 6 with a really smooth gearbox. I've been a Z guy for a long time but I want something a little more luxurious while keeping that same sporty feel. I know i'll be happy with the G but its still a tough decision. Any input??

The only BMW worth getting is the M3s, other than that I say go with the G37. You should get opinions from BMW forums also.

The G37 and 335i are both riddled with problems and poor quality.

Go with the S5.

I switched from a g35 6mt to a 335I both coupes and I wouldnt go back for anything. I loved the G while I had it. I cant speak for the 335is infiniti customer sevice sux BMW has been awesome so far.

the M3 is nice as said before but personally i think its a waster. as you can put a juice box or procede into a 335i and with upgreaded DPs and intercooler, intake and exhaust you make over 400hp. as opposed to the M3 414hp for double the price

e92 335i and e92 m3 are essentially the same car. one is a 3ltr twin turbo that makes 300hp stock the other makes 414 hp for double the price. a JB or procede will but you a littel under 400hp alone in a 335i for less than 1k. intake and exhaust and your just as fast or faster than the m3 and save about 15+k

For double the price? What are you talking about? The 335is starting price is $51K, while the M3 is $59K.

The G37 is awesome, comes with packages that BMW will not give you and you will have to pay for each package double the price. BMW is nice and all but the problems with their Fuel pump that goes when ever it wants to just makes me not wanna get one and also there are other problems with the car injectors going to early. You need to go on the bmw forums and read about the huge list of problems. Here you go http://www.e90post.com/forums/index.php? The S5 is a awesome car, but many have said it it's a heavy pig with underpowered engine.

^^^ The G37 is crap. Dont listen to people that havent owned on. They has so many issues and it is constant headaches dealing with Infiniti Customer Service. The G37 alreadys has many many TSBs with its crappy quality.

^ i know so many people who own them never had problems with them even some with 60k miles and still driving very strong. I guess some don't get to lucky with them.

I deal with my dealership at the very least monthly, my car is a headache & pain in the *** & I paid like 3grand for an extended warranty which apparently doesn't cover anything. My slipping auto trans is...normal....same with my brake judder, & 50thousand rattles.
