Lightbulb Moving on from the G??

Just wanted to see how many members are lookin into moving on to another vehicle within the next 6 months. Are there any members looking to go from a 03-05 to a 06-07 G or maybe a G37?? Or has the majority decided to get a 335i? Its not a poll or anything just wondering...

seems like everyone is moving to a bmw. guess it's a wise decision since those cars are so reliable and maintenance is so CHEAP for them.

I plan on keeping my G for a while, but my friend back in FL sold his coupe and upgraded to a 335i, don't know if he's on driver though.

well i mean for $600 u can get a used $25k 335i go from 300hp to about 380hp. i wish we had something like that for our cars. my friend has a 135i with the same engine and he got the same mod, and that thing can fly

I prefer the looks of the G35 over the 335 and especially the 135. Although when modded they look great, especially the 335 but I like my G just fine.

Keep in mind that the 335 and 135 are relatively new so reliability is still in question although we found out first hand what happened with the first 335 model and its plethora of issues.

If I were to trade or buy another ride it would be 370Z, Tundra or Titan

Where are you getting the majority 335i? Because 2 or 3 guys want them?

My G is out the door whenever I get the ambition to put it on Craigslist.

Personally I do like the 135 and 335, especially after driving the ***** off a 335i coupe... But like you I am hooked on the G35. If I had to choose, a 370 would be a serious thought, but I would also have to give a lot of consideration to a NSX and a new Mustang GT 5.0

Not looking to change cars but the only car I feel buyer's remorse for sometimes is the 370z. Esp when a white one drives by. They made the interior so nice on it, I feel like there really isn't much luxury I would be missing out with one vs the G.

That said, there are times when I like being a little more low key, which the G does while still looking nice.

I will just wait to see what the next Z holds in about 2015. If its turbo'd like i hear then I will be the first in line.

I tuely do not understand why so much interest in the 335i. I can only assume that you just want to say "oh yea I own a BMW". The new G37 has 30 more hp that the 335. Now if you guys really want to man up go Mercedes AMG. Let's start with the C63 AMG. About the same size as the 335i but with a whopping 451 hp. One step up and you get the E63 AMG 518 hp. I own a 2010 benz E-class coupe and can confirm that it is a great car. Unfortunatly it's my wifes car so no AMG. The Benz AMGs are far better cars than the BMWs. You'll pay more but you will get more for your $$$$$.

The 335i has a JuiceBox mod. It's $600. It takes 30mins to install. It adds 100hp and 100tq crank. It's much faster then the g37 and more nimble, but the g37's interior is one of the best I've seen. And as far as value I believe at the moment the 335i will hold it's resale value much greater then the g37

I'm not going to sell the g35 i'm actually doing more work to it over the next month... I'm just looking at another car either a M3, G37 or 370z and i do like 335i 's but that would be one of the last ones on the list. I like 335i 's but i personally just find the others to be more appealing to me. Just my opinion. Ill probably be looking at them after the winter here and hopefully get something before summer.

The BMW has the most boring, old fashioned interior of any sports/luxory car on the market. The dash looks like it's still from the early 90s. My girl got a Benz, partly based on the fact that BMW hasn't updated the interior layout in way too long. The interior of the BMW reminds me of an old persons car.
