3 G's, then 335xi, now considering M

I used to be active on this forum as I had 3 G's. Red 03, Black 05X, Pearl White 07X, but then the new G's looked exactly the same as my 07X so I decided to go to something different.

I purchased a 09 335Xi black with every possible option. Now it is time to look at a new car and my consideration is for A6, 535Xi or M37X?

Just wondering if someone has any comments on these car choices. I do understand this might be a biased board but I looked at a 2012 yesterday and it was so nice.

I am 50 years old now so going for more luxury than sport, thus my choices?

Thank you

Thanks for those comments, interesting on a Infiniiti board the couple of comments suggest BMW. I had my 335 in for an oil change and looked at the new 5, then walked over to the Infiniiti dealer beside the Bimmer dealer and really liked the M.
I guess I might have to take them both for a ride. When I search comments on the new 5 series most comments are negative with descriptions of boring, plain interior, bland exterior, but drives good.
I do like my 3 over my G for sporty driving but with the low profile 18" run flats I can run over a piece of string on the road & feel it

I text drove the new M56x and man did it go. The exterior is very well done, and the interior is very nice as well and well laid out IMO. I would go for the M!!

I like all three cars. Personally the M will give you the best bang for your buck, and if you go with the M go with the sport package adds on some nice touches.

My first choice would have to be the 535 with M sport package if IMO looks amazing, gets decent mileage, manly car.

GL with your choice.

Thanks all, and yes I have a family so must be sedan. The reason I like Infiniti is VALUE so I understand that on the M. Sounds like the 5series or M would be the best choices. The dealer told me the 2013 M's hit in April this year and said the new designed G coming in April 2013 (2014 model) is spectacular, but I wanted the luxury more plus I am not waiting another year.

Thanks very much for your feedback.

Go drive an M. I'v driven both and i prefer the interior and exterior on it. Drives so nicely and that 3.7 motor really gives it some punch.

Curious to see what you end up with, and especially if it's an M, bring it out to an AB meet. As a fellow-50-year-old, I am also intrigued by the M but am sticking with my G sedan for the foreseeable.

The new A6 is a really classy & timeless car, the new 5 is very classy looking, the M is well kind of ugly & cheap looking. At least that's my opinion.

Swivel, I will do that! Much enjoyed this forum and my 3 X G's, especially the 07X, understanding we need AWD in Canada for sure. The dealer told my 9 out of 10 sales are AWD so no M's either. M package maybe but must be a "X".
