CONVINCE ME not to get a G35

Hey guys,

I've been on this board for some 3-4 years now, and its looking like its time for me to change cars. My biggest attraction is the 2005 G35 coupe with 298hp but no Brembos. It is either this or an 04-05 330ci. Either car would be manual. I just am having the hardest time anyone can imagine trying to decide between these two cars...they are both so slick.

Let me know any comments, they'll be appreciated.

I guess keeping the 323 as a second car would not be an option in this equation?

You gonna get the coupe or sedan G35? The bmw is like what 5-10k above the Infinity? I like the Infinities, but I think I would go with the BMW for sure, look nicer, specially the ci. Unless of course you want to wait for the all wheel drive G35 coupe, that might be nicer.

Hmm, i like the coupe G35, but the 330ci is so freakin cool. I'd go with the BMW! It's classier, not quite as fast but it's just a nicer car and it's a BMW!

Get a 350Z, then a Power Enterprise or Greddy Twin Turbo and call it a day.

G35 is nice but it's too small compared to a 3 coupe and the 3 coupe isn't big by any means.

The power is nice but you'll definitely miss the BMW.

I know I did these past 8 months.
