Ofcoarse the s5 is nicer than a g37. It also costs a lot more. I know I'd enjoy either one anyway.

I wouldnt go for another g, or atleast not until a new motor and car design. I might consider a 370z but my mind is pretty well set on a 335i at the moment

Not everyone!

I've had my 04 for over 7 years now, with plans to keep it for at least another year. Nice that my car payment has been going into a bank account rather than paying off on a loan.

I've had a standing offer to buy my car at some point. He was out of work for some time, but if he wants to buy it in a year I may start looking at other cars.

Guess I'm lucky I haven't fallen in love with another car out there that makes me think I HAVE to have it. Last time that happened, I bought the G35.

I've seen several cars that I would at least consider. But they are all over the map in type of car. Do I want something that gets better fuel economy? Or is somewhat premium again? Not top of the line premium, though. Can't afford it and don't want to spend THAT much. Do I want larger? Or will even smaller work out?

Just easier to drive what is paid for, and which is still fun to drive.

I would really consider a 2011 mustang 5.0 but it's American and ford. Good cars, just can't go from luxury to sporty

I sold my G a few months back and got a GTR. BEST DECISION EVER! lol i love it. and I don't know why anyone would ever want to buy a 335. I'd much rather have a G35 or 370.

are u kidding? uh... maybe cause they are a pleasure to drive and can put out some serious numbers with relatively few mods.


and did u really just compare a 40k car to a 80k car? If i had 80k i wouldn't have gotten a G ether. (or a GTR for that matter)

I'd much rather have a 335 than a G35 or a 370. It's not even a comparison.

I honestly can say the G cannot compete with any of the cars mentioned above performance wise, without spending BIG bucks on mods...
i like your list

I've driven a 335 (N54) quite a bit alongside my 07 G Sedan and they are quite similar in the way they drive. The torque of the 335 really does make that car feel great. I'd imagine that quite a few G drivers would like to move to the 335 once they give it a fair drive and swallow the cost. I do prefer the interior of the G..

Onto the question - I decided to move onto an 11.5 E92 M3 which I ordered 2 weeks ago. If you're in the market for a new car I'd really recommend you don't drive the M3 - I couldn't say no

Moderately equipped the M3 is around $71,000 those are going to be some hefty payments. What kind of a deal did you get??

You can get a coupe/sedan/vert around invoice and there's a $1,500 credit for financing through BMWFS + very competitive rates right now.
MSRP just over 75, getting it for ~68.5 (invoice - 1,500 holiday credit + 600) with 10k down on a 3yr 12mi/yr lease. It'll be somewhere between 600-700/m

If you spring for the vert you can get it for ~100/m less since the residual is 8% higher for 3yrs and the MF is lower.
