Welcome! Well two things...if you haven't ordered a G35 by now, you might have to wait a while (i.e. anywhere up to 3 months), unless you want an automatic in which case that's already on dealer lots. Secondly...an 04 BMW with problems...please do share!

This is what I heard from a friend of mine. That if your going to buy a BIMMER now, don't buy anything lower then the 5 series. I've heard that all 3 series BIMMERS breaks down hella quick. So I guess with your post today, it just confirms it. Bimmers are almost played out now anyways. Unless you could get a 7 series bimmer . Congratz on turning to Infiniti. Too bad I'm not excited about getting an auto as you are, or I would be a happen man right now =) Other then that, my 6MT should be here no later then mid-Jan. 3 more weeks..arrggghhh, the wait

Welcome aboard bro. Sorry to hear of the issues you had with the Bimmer, but I guess that kind of thing happens to the best sometimes.

Hope you have more luck with the G. I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

Share your experiences and pics with us.

Welcome aboard! There is no question that you are going to be loving life in two weeks. The G is a pleasure. I still can't believe one is in my driveway and I get to drive this thing everyday.

Good luck selling the BWM. Hope it goes quick.

Got an 03 325i Sedan that has been to the shop many times and if any one has $27K laying around, I'll let you have it. Waiting until 30 Dec (end of month/yr) to walk into Infiniti and get G35C automatic. Soooooo, I too will be joining the G35 family really soon.

Please do not ask me about my problems....I am finally sleeping at night.

Personally I loved my 2000 BMW 323Ci, but when it came down to it, the G35 C was a better car for the money.
