Help with buying a new car.....

Hi I am about to buy a new car and I am between a new g35 2 door or a new BMW 330i 4 door.....they are both similarly fast (0-60 wise) and both interiors look good. I am not sure if I want 2 or 4 door. I know most of u reading this have g35s so dont take its side fully and be honest. I also might go for a used M3 if that sounds better please say so. Thanks Mike.

G35 hands down. For what you get for the money its a better car. The 330i is atleast 6-10 grand more, if were talkin about the sedans. The BMW is gonna be in the shop atleast 6 times a year, why do you think they had to do the 4 years free maintenance pitch???

Still, G35, better overall car and it wont give you any problems down the road as long as you keep up with the maintenance.

I have been doing good research on both cars since my older brother has an old 325i and my other brother has an old g35 sedan. I like both of them a lot. I am leaning toward the G a lot.

Get the G. Most BMW's sedans look the same. The 330ci's look nice though.

If you can afford the BMW, get it. The G affords better value. I have owned 3 different bimmers of different body styles. All 3 performed perfectly. The only visits to the dealership were for routine maintenance. I am a loyal bimmer fan. However, I do not regret getting the G. It's probably one of the best car purchased, which I have made in the past 30 years.

the infiniti kicks *** in both price and reliability, plus the cost of insurance is better and the modding price, which you will do. The bmw's will handle smoother and the engine is smoother and the interior is quieter. in all honesty the bmw is WAY overpriced. a used m3... the reliability is skeptical but i garuantee you wil be satisifed with it in everyway... cept insurance, gas, price, and possibly maintenence.

i love my G, i couldve bought a new m3, but the value of the G is so much better for what your getting.

my advce... buy a G and supercharge it!!!

Depends if you want the most value for your dollar (G35) or the slight edge in performance (330i). You won't get an equally equipped BMW at the price of an Infiniti.

The price doesnt seem to be a problem here because ive built both cars on the main websites and both of them would be around 39-41,000
