That was my mistake...I took one for a test drive on a lunch break one day...BIIG mistake...well my wallet thinks so...

Thanks dude, I thought about the G37 but I couldnt justify the 41k they wanted just b/c its a new car. They wouldnt drop < MSRP . Then I made the mistake of testing the 335...man what a difference. Just sit on the inside and notice how QUIET it is!! One thing the G does have is a nicer a$$..I love the G's a$$!!!

45k also gets you factory FI, 300 underrated horses (not 330 overrated), AWD and quality materials that do look bland, but are simple nonetheless. Dont forget NO maintenance for 4 yrs 50k miles, no oil changes, brakes, wipers ...etc
LOL, talking about plastic when half of your interior is plastic? Enjoy your 3 oil changes at 15k intervals

meeeh i wasnt here to start a 'which car is better war' we all have different taste hence why we drive different color cars and different models. I wanted to try something new, not Infiniti again, at first I wanted an IS350...but then I wanted something AWD...

Thanks for the comments guys.

LOL, actually according to ppl on the BMW forums they say 1st oil change should be done at 1250-1500 miles, then every 3-5k. I'll change the oil myself, just like i did with the G, I just dont trust 18 year olds working on my car

Damn, what's with all the negativity, aluminium pedals?? short shifter?? yeah I considers those really hard when buying a car.

Nice ride P, can't wait to see it with those lipped 20s on. I would have gone a bit darker on the tint though. That red interior is darker in person, sat in a hard top conv at VOB in with same color interior. NICE ride!!

Seriously though, just take one for a drive, just to see how it feels in comparison. I understand the interior is sub par in comparison etc etc, but just take one for a drive and see what you think!!! I was naive and never wanted to drive german just b/c the maintenance is $$$. But after I test drove it...it was all over

Actually I didnt do ED (European delivery). The problem with these cars is that they never have what you want on the lots anywhere. Finding one on the lot thats a MT is almost impossible (at least it is w/ the AWD XIs). I just went into the dealer said I want this car, 1500 over invoice, will you do it? They agreed, put in my color combo, options and 5-6 weeks later TADA

Yo I thought I was the only one who noticed. I used to only see transit police on the dulles toll road but recently state and everyone else all over in VA lol. I'm keepin my a$$ in MD.

Yeah, nice choice on the tint then so they won't mess with you. They really don't target hi-end sports cars or luxury cars IMO, I always see them after the old civics and camrys.
