"clutch refined from the sedan..."

good find, had not seen it yet

I had wondered since seeing reviews on the sedan 6MT was a hard take up and very quickly engaged, so they made some changes, any 6MT 07 sedan owners out there have a hard time with the clutch? Was it hard to get used to? Would you change it if you could?

great find.

I find it interesting that there are so many people on this board dis this new car in pictures as being too round, high and feminine, while the magazines that have seen it in person/drove them are not saying that. Edmunds said "retains the originals low wide stance".

I also like the we've driven it and found it was "more focused with better body control than the 335i" and "more intuitive with better cornering than 335i"
I was also looking at the R&T- some quotes:
"While upon first glance the new coupe bears a striking resemblance to the old one,.."
"the overall look is more grown up, but it still conveys that sense of speed and power, certainly with the distinct character line that links the front and rear fenders.'
"dimensionally the G37 hasn't strayed far from it's precursor,...shrinking 0.1 inch in height"
"To sum it up the G37 in a word "superior" comes t mind. It outperforms and outshines its predecessor in every way."

Good summary. You hit all of the posiitive points. It will be interesting to see if the reviews remain positive after the magazine guys get their hands on a real one and can do some comparisons with the 335.

Great find Alex!

By the way Edmunds describes the G37, it sure doesn't sound too "womanized" to me.

Excellent find! I too see it as pretty much a superior car in all aspects. I love the new look, especially in Black (seeing them photoshopped). IP/Graphite or OB/Graphite is where its at!

I agree, the car did not miss the mark. It was just aiming for a different mark, and I think it nailed it. I am counting down the days until I can have this badboy in my garage!!

Nice. from lookin at the videos it seems like the problem with the back seat is fixed. i think i saw a latch on the top corner of each seat...i hope that replaces that stupid button on the back of the seats we currently have. smh
