BMW 335i and Infiniti G37

I want to make this post on congratulating BOTH companies for producing such fantastic machines for us consumers who benefit from all of this. I really hope that this continues on for many more generations!

I'm looking very much forward to more comparisons with both cars (of course I hope the G37 wins) and seeing several professional... or hopefully professional... views on both vehicles. The battles will be fun to read.

I feel like I'm not giving BMW enough credit with the 335i. The 335i is a superb performance vehicle and it feels really nice... I just personally wish that the interior would've been more to my taste because if so, I would've put my deposit on that also. Kudos to you too BMW!

I just hope that people will just stop with the bashing of both vehicles and just appreciate with what both companies have to offer. If you don't like the looks of either vehicle, then don't look at pictures or videos posted here. If you don't like the performance of the G37... then don't look at the specs. If you want to vent your frustration... why do it in the G37 forum where there are a lot of people really looking forward to the release of it? You should know that as a result... it will **** people off. Vent to Infiniti instead...

And... if you just dislike the G37 as a total package... then why are you on the G37 forums anyways? Just to complain?

PLEASE DON'T ANSWER ANY OF THESE QUESTIONS... THESE ARE MEANT TO BE RHETORICAL.

I will totally give credit to BMW for making the 335i. I was going to get one because their were things about the G35 that just didn't sit right with me. However, once I saw the G37, I knew that I had to have it. Both are amazing cars, and I have no problem saying that I am happy that the G37 came out on top, but I had already ordered my G37 way before this article came out, so it did not affect my decison to order. These two cars will only serve to make each other better.

stop the comparision between G37 and 335i. If you need the speed and handling, you should get a used 06 corvette. It's cheap and fast enough to beat g37 and 335i!!

The doors and seats are laced with special heavy weight lead.

Very funny you two. A RWD only car weighing in at 3700+ is insane.

It has aluminum suspension components? That is the first I have heard of that. If so, I have no idea how it could weigh that much.

BTW, Nissan says it is 3,668 for the base 6MT, so the 4WAS might account for the difference in the MT numbers, but still, that is way too heavy.

If they're reliable... would you consider one? It seems as though all you care about is performance.

3770lbs.... sigh~



For reference:

BMW 535i
Curb Weight MT 3660 lbs

Infiniti M35
Curb Weight AT 3832 lbs


Lexus GS350
Curb Weight AT 3704lbs

Lexus IS350
Curb Weight AT 3527lbs

07 Infiniti G35 Sedan
Curb Weight AT 3538 lbs

06 Infiniti G35 Coupe
Curb Weight MT 3524 lbs



That's pretty sad guys, did Infiniti start building cars with solid steel and lead?
