I should also mention, in my G35/E92 comparison, I'm comparing a coupe to a sedan. The E92 is quite different from the E90. And the G35 C is different from the G35 sedan.
A true test will come when the G35 coupe becomes available-
These are good times we're living.
Picus, that torque curve looks like a tabletop.

Here is another rather negative view of the interior from a design perspective:

Especially when the torque gives you such a shot in the azz out of the gate
Driving is amazing..... it's just always there, untill it gradually runs a little short of breath after 5600.
This car is just plain fun, to drive

3) Gauge visibility. When I position the seat and steering wheel the way I want, the rim of the steering wheel blocks my view of the top of the speedometer and tachometer displays. How fast was I going, officer? I don't know because I can't see the gauge. This isn't the first BMW vehicle I've encountered this problem on, by the way.

BMW, Mercedes and I think Cadillac are all using HUD's again, and I actually like it a-lot. In it's infancy w/GM, the HUD would only project speed, turn signals, ect. Now they are configurable: Radio info, Bluetooth integration [in-coming call info] ect. I think it's a great system and keeps the driver looking at the road instead of the on-board displays; so to me, it's not a distraction at all. Some studies have shown that some people can get the "blinking clock" syndrome: where one is always looking at the display rather than the road because it's there. This coupled w/the cost of the system is the reason why the availability is very limited and it always an option if available.
