Ya, I probably will. I'm between leasing the coupe and the BMW 330i....equipped the same it's about a $100 more for the Bimmer...which I really can't justify.

The Bimmer is probably a better car, but not a $100 a month better.

 

4,000 miles here on the 06 n no rattles or noises so far. but im blasting the tunes most of the time.

 

1250 Miles-Solid. Our first Inifiniti and lovin it!
Anyone acitve military or retired military Grubbs in Dallas has a pretty good military program-ship anywhere. Not sure if it's a great price or good price but 1% below dealer invoice, seemed pretty fair.

 

1,100 miles...much more solid than my 04.
No creeks or rattles...even with a supercharger and lowered.

 

Mike, drop a few options and pickup the 330i. You've already owned a G, do you want to drive the same car for another few years? Especially knowing that next year a new model will be out.

Just some food for thought.

 

My 05 is pretty quiet so far after 12k miles. Guess I was fortunate.

 

Honestly Boris, I've thought a lot and I change my mind everyday. My current lease is up in about 2 months...so waiting isn't an option for me.

The '06 coupe is essentially the same car, but in many ways it's different. My sedan is an '03 Automatic. If I get the '06 it would be a Coupe, and it would be a manual transmission, with navigation...not to mention the interior of the '06 has some nice upgrades over my outdated '03.

The BMW 330 is about $80 a month more, with the only options being sports package and premium package. If I take out premium package, it'll be about $50 a month more than the G.....but it won't even have leather.

The other thing that's putting me off about the 330 is the fact that they are introducing a 335i Sequential Turbo...and there's a lot of speculation it might completely be replacing the 330 engine. But no one knows for sure, it might end up being a bridge model between the 330 and m3.

I figure the coupe is my safe bet because I can get it now cheaper, and apparently the g35 coupe holds its value extremely well so I could trade it in without taking a big hit about a year from now....wait 1 year until the next generation g35 sedan comes and also wait for the engine upgrades for the 330i. Then maybe trade in for one of those two.

Sorry for the long post.

 

I've had mine for 2 weeks and it's a gem. A little bit of (engine) noise, but it's got 298HP, what do you expect? Go for it!
