I'd definitely choose the 330i ZHP over the G.

All 6MT sedans have sport package and VLSD.

You can tell from pictures usually if it has the sport package (sport 18's- look like coupe 19's, 6mt, spoiler). Also, has the sport suspension which you can't really see from pictures. I think they are red, if I am not mistaken.

Not all sport package struts are red.

Spoiler and front lip are part of the aero package. That also includes an additional plastic cover underneath towards the rear of the car.

My 2006 6mt has no spoiler or red struts/shocks. Was it even possible to order a 2005-2006 with a manual and it not be a 6mt (which always has the sport package)?

What? Manual is 6MT. 6speed Manual Transmission.

Of coarse 6MT is always a manual, but I believe you could get an early year G35 base model with a manual and it is not the 6mt model.

In 2003 the sedan came in:
Base Model
Leather Model
Leather 6MT Model

I reserve the right to be wrong

Well 2003.0 didn't come standard and the 03.5/04 that I know (that are standard) have sport packs.

But they may have had a super base model G that came only in stick, you're talking about the one with cloth seats and no sunroof right?

That is the model I am thinking of. My 06 6mt sedan doesn't have a sunroof BTW.

for the most part, agreed. it depends on the market.

in Canada 6MT = Sport/Aero/VLSD/Spoiler/All options. the only option with 6MT is NAVI.

you still have the sport package if you have a manual trans. In 2006 for unknown reasons, some of the sport shocks/struts were NOT red.

Sedan or coupe? I've never heard of a sedan without sunroof in the states yet because the sedans are packaged differently than the coupes out here...

Dofu; there is a guy on here that has one with cloth seats and no sunroof. They are quick, no extra weight. I think it ran a 14 totally stock.
