Maybe, but there's other cars I'd be looking at also.

I really enjoy my Sedan but after 3.5 years, it's clear that BMW makes a more refined car in terms of handling and interior build. I'll keep mine for 6-7 more years and that's something I would never try to do in a german car without a warranty. I'd probably by the 2009 Camaro if I was in the market then or a if I were looking now - I'd get a 5 series, the epotime of sports sedans, especially the 550. M5 is not worth owning unless you drive in the middle of the night or off of 395 in CA, where i always get tickets on my way to Mammoth anyway. Another car I'd consder if buying now is the Mazdaspeed 3.

If I test drove those before my 5 series, I would've bought that instead. Infiniti seems to offer a nice balance of luxury/sport. BMW's are very sporty and lacks luxury (navi sucks, uncomfortable, cheap looking interior, always behind in technology, etc...)

I took the new IS on a test drive and I was impressed, but it was way too small and I didn't like the interior design. I've narrowed my decision to the 07' G35 until I see/drive it.

Now the big question here...........for those that currently own a g35 sedan, would you buy another one? Are you that happy with your Infiniti? How's the build quality? I don't want to purchase one and then regret my purchase (just like my 5 series).

Y do you hate the 5? What was is, 525?

530i....Reasons I want to sell:

*i-drive.....annoying to use..slow, has glitches...AC always on when I start the car
*seats are uncomfortable-didn't get comfort seats
*armrest is made out of hard plastic
*engine is underpowered- should've gotten the V8
*navigation- locks up. Very noisy
*feels too big for me..lots of blind spots
*dislike the active steering......doesn't feel natural
*rattles on door seals...dealer attempted 3 times to fix
*tired of the interior design...very bland..wood looks cheesy
*cup holders always get stuck... cant't open

Just look at the interior:
