You are retarded. i knew a kid with an 07 325i and our 04 X **** all over that car any time i came across him at the track ( ) then my 05 RWD did the exact same thing. Our 08, yea, well he never got a chance to see who was driving because i got away too quickly

I have been asking that for the past months. My conclusion is that hes stuck in a payment for the next 3 years and can't get out of it. Probably decided that he hates the car and vents his frustrations on here.

 

I'm a known harsh G critic, but I'd say it's an upgrade. I'm not a fan of BMW really, but I'll tip the hat when warranted.

I like the dash design of the 3 series, but I actually thought the interior materials paled in comparison to the G's materials. The seats (and dash interestingly enough) literally felt like BMW bought a ton of basketballs, tore them apart, sewed them together, dyed them black, and made seats out of them.

You spend your entire time in a car actually IN the car, so I like to be comfortable. The driving dynamics are probably better with the 3 series, but it sounds like you're not going to have much chance to experience that as you're plowing through snow and ice.

 

you can't get an e90 for what i paid for my 04 G and even if you could I wouldn't settle for an automatic 325i, I would want a 6mt 335i or 335xi...if i found manual 328i for 13900(which is what I paid for the G I would jump on it). And as far as E46s are concerned I would only want an M3 and quite frankly I would imagine the maintaince costs would be through the roof and they don't sound very good. If I found an 04-05 330i 5 speed I would have considered it but its a bitch and a half to find anything fun to drive with a manual tranny and even if I did they are slower then G35s. So when I found the G I grabbed it, and aside from needing a new engine and a few minor irritations it is a better daily driver then my RSX was so I don't regret it. Again none of this has anything to do with the OP's G35X so I will say this. Sorry for saying it was a downgrade, its more of a lateral move made in favor of AWD, enjoy your G and keep an eye on the oil level.

PS there is no such thing as an 07 325i, if it was an 07 it was a 328i and stock for stock they run almost identical times as G35x's with higher trap speeds 14.8-9@95 vs 14.8-9@94 for the g35x, so I will now make my favorite statment of all time: You beat the driver, not the car. (or you were wrong about the year) The RWD G would be faster though.

 

He is notorious. Hopefully he sells his "modded" G and gets a BMW.

 

you know my car feels different today, I think maybe there is a pebble stuck somewhere because I could swear it felt like 3350.7261lbs yesterday and today it distinctly feels like 3350.8146lbs

I don't plan on selling the G in the near future either. I never called it modded either, its almost entirely stock and what isn't stock is just OEM stuff from other cars.

I could sell it if I wanted to, I owe around 10k its probably worth at least 11 or 12 private party. But what am I going to find thats better for the 10k I owe? I haven't found anything remotely close.

 

Congrats on the new whip you're gonna love the awd!!!

 

Then it was an 06. Either way it was slow as ****.

 

its got 15 less hp then the car that runs 14.8@95...if its slow as ***, so is an X because there is no way you could put more then 1.5-2 cars on it unless they dont know what they are doing. I suspect bmw in D no sport mode, traction control on just hits the gas on green vs you TSC off torque brake AWD launch manual mode ftpwnz0r

Everyone else says the G is super predictable at the limits

 

^^ You really are a douche...

 

It should be predictable, but it probably has alot to do with the tires, tire pressures, and whatever else modifications he was running.

I found the G more lazy and sloppy than unpredictable. THAT was predictable haha.

 

care to elaborate?

 

Jesus, just take your ***** out from the BMW tailpipe and call it a day. No one cares.

 

I find there are alot of ***** who follow alot of brands of cars. BMW just happens to have a great plethora of such people (Porsche too, but I digress).

Having said that, I'm not saying the OP is such a person. Now the link he posted, some of THOSE guys are.

 

im not a bmw fanboy at all, I just think the e90 is a nicer car then the v35

like you said, the guys in the link are bmw fanboys

 

Agreed.

Some of their comments are downright laughable though like this gem:
"Who ever goes japanese over german when money isn't a factor?"

When it's a better product, perfected, that doesn't have the nasty tendencies to fall apart like some German automobiles. I'd love to get into a 993 or even an older 911SC. The parts prices, however, scare the shat out of me.

Or this one:
"The shift lacked the buttery-smooth feel of a Bimmer."
Oh, you mean the rubbery 'is-my-linkage-even-attached-to-the-transmission' shift feel? That comes standard.
