That's one thing I like about BMW's ala carte options deal. Yes, they are expensive, yes you pay for everything, but you don't have to order anything you don't want just to get something else. You can order anything individually, which is good. Infiniti kind of does the same thing to an extent, but they just bundle a lot of stuff in std, which of course is good too. I'm not a fan of the way Lexus makes you buy "packages".

Go buy one then, and move on to a BMW forum.

Post away. Go ahead and spend plenty more for a car that is 0.4 seconds faster than a G in the quarter mile. I just don't know why you don't go ahead and get the Bimmer and be done with it since you were so disappointed with your Infiniti G35x.

I think that's an old review. FWIW, in the Nov issue of C&D I will quote one of the writers re: the 335i:
"If we were spending our own money and had to buy one car, it would be hard to pick anything but the 335i."
or:
"The 335i is the best car currently for sale."
How's that for adding fuel?
