How's the car?

Pix? Did you test drive the BMW 335i at all b4 you bought it?

Just currious to know what people here think of the car.

I heard though its about $10k less, the BMW still tops it?! haha

I saw a black one in the west end looks real nice. For the bucks seems like a nice deal but the 335i + Vishnu makes the cars uncomparable IMO.

Saw one a few days ago - it reminded me too much of the altima coupe?

Also, I was reading on some G35 forums that previous G35 owners who bought a G37 were quit disappointed - apparently even w/ its power increase it feels just as fast as the older models (probably adding 400lbs didn't do it any favors, heh)

I can't believe Nissan copied itself with the Altima coupe... cheapens the Infiniti label! :confused:

I don't agree. They don't look that much alike in person and the Altima is fwd. Maybe it means more to posers that buy a car more for the percieved status than for the over all package.

I glanced at a cover of a car magazine in Mac's the other day and it read "G37 out performs BMW 335i" but i didn't read the article. I'd still say 335 FTMFW.

If it was the Road & Track mag, the 37 only wins becuase the 335 didn't have an oil cooler and the BMW starts performing poorly when the oil is super-heated.

NOW, they do have oil-coolers.... ;)

Looks wise the G wins.

Performance wise, the 335 wins.

Interior wise the G wins.

Cost wise the G wins.

So if you want Performance, definitely get the BMW.

If you want everything else, get the Infiniti.

The ergonomics and look of the infinit interiors is nice but the materials they use are garbage and the fit and finish is poor.

everything other than performence could be subjective, but I have seen the G37 up and close,

I agree that the G is better interior and exterior wise over the 335i,

must I add those 19" rims on the G looks dam sexy

E46..sTyLez
09-25-2007, 10:21 AM
Exterior...maybe, cause they're both nice but the picture of the G looks really sexy. Interior I still like the BMW wayyy better. The G's interior looks too bulky, one of the reasons I chose my car over a G35C.

Ha Ha Ha! I can't believe people are comparing a G37 to a 335. You can put leather and fancy wheels on it but the G37 will never be anything more than a RWD Nissan complete with the corporate V6 that can be had in grocery getters such as the Altima.

As least with Acura & Lexus you can say that you get the steller reliability. Nissan is average/mediocre at best. Plus their cars now all look the same.....bland.

I'm not saying it's a bad car as there aren't alot of real bad vehicles available these days. I'm just saying when you buy a 335 you are getting a real luxury car from a real luxury car maker. When you buy an Infinity you are getting a Nissan. At least Acura and Honda make some exclusive engines. My biggest beef with Nissan is how they have whored out the corporate V6 to the point where you aren't getting anything special mechanically for your money in an G37 or even a 350Z that you can't get in lesser Nissans for cheaper. You essentially are paying all the extra for leather and revised sheetmetal.

I own the 07 G35S which has the same interior as the G37 and the new body lines but in a 4 door (which I needed).

My buddy owns the new 07 335i 4 door.

Hands down we both agree the Infiniti has the more luxurious interior and offers way way more for way way less.

Looks wise its personal preference.

I myself prefer the more smooth lines of the G35. My G also comes with an LSD and a way nicer paddle shifter/sport mode then the BMW.

I raced my buddies BMW and yes his car is faster, from a standing start, rolling start, whatever. It definitely outperforms in a straight line. As for the corners I would say the G is slightly better, partly due to the Bimmers shitty runflat tires.

As for options my car is fully loaded, Navigation, Hardrive, Bluetooh, power everything, laser guided cruise, heated seats, you name it I have it. My buddy only has the basics and still paid $5K more for his. Fully equipped his car was $12K more then mine.

It was a no brainer for me. Sure the Bimmer is a little faster, big deal, unless you are taking it the race track, where the hell are you going to notice the difference between the two cars. Ummm, never.

honestly for 10 grand less, and with those kinds of looks who wouldnt buy a g37, because its a nice car in every way and well worth the money, but i guess if u got the money go all out and get a 3 series like everyone else ;)

At least 89Coupe is approaching the argument with some logic and sense to back up his claims. The rest just sounds like a BMW lover orgy or something.

There are only two things here that aren't subjective, performance and price. As 89Coupe put it the cars are almost identical to anything a little north of 100km/h. Past that 335 owns no doubt, but how many of you street racing kings will be pushing the car much northwards of that on the street?

Price is no contest you get a ton more for a lot less in a comparable G37 then you can in a 335, that isn't even arguable.

I also didn't know that you could get the VQ37HR VVEL in any other car, Nissan or Infiniti.

There are many things I like about the 335i but IMO, interior looks bland and old (quality of materials is excellent however), exterior is nothing spectacular, and I'm not wild about paying 10K more out the door over something 9/10 comparable. If the badge means so much then stick the propellers on your forehead and call it a day.

I took a G37 out for a test drive and I must admit that it's a great car. Very luxurious, refined, handles well, and accelerates pretty good too. I felt very much in control when I drove it, and to be honest the only other car that I felt that in tune with was the RX8 when I test drove that.

A great car overall, and the price is definitely right.

SilverRex
09-25-2007, 02:02 PM
plus save another 10k if you buy the G37 in the states, the last time I check I hear the warranty is transferable, is it still so for 08 models?

^This is a good conclusion. The performance difference is negligible and not a blowout. The $9k-$12k difference however is very noticeable. Beyond that it's personal preference for which interior/exterior you like.

It's good to see Nissan offers a level of confidence with a better warranty to stand behind their product.

Whole vehicle:
BMW: 48 mth / 80 000
Infiniti: 48 mth / 100 000

It comes down to whether or not you want a very quick 3 series, or a newly engineered/designed Infiniti.

are you serious? you're saying Nissan is average in reliability? Interesting, because Nissan is much higher rated in reliability by C & Driver, Consumer Reports and by any accredited Driving magazine, Nissan/Infiniti are very highly rated (CR reports the G35 as #1 best car to buy for three years running) and are much reliable. I've had two Nissans and no problems, my Dad's had three or so, again no problems. BMW's are hugely expensive on maintenance and almost any BMW from 2005 to current is prone to be unreliable due to everything on the car to being computer based. However they are much better performance and handling wise, WHEN they are running.

Here's how I see it for what it's worth:

Looks: Infiniti by a landslide
Interior: Draw
Performance: Draw, maybe a slight edge to the Bimmer
Price: Infiniti, again by a landslide
Reliability: Infiniti
Resale: Slight edge to Bimmer
Cache: Draw, Infiniti badge doesn't hold quite the same prestige as BMW, but the 3 series is one of the ultimate poseur cars

Conclusion: Infiniti G37 wins by a large margin in two of the most important categories, looks and price, and is about even in everything else.

I know where my money would go.

Yeah I hear the stopped making those turbo Neons! j/k :rofl:

But I do agree with you on the use of the VQ35 to an extent. It is used in just about the entire Nissan/Infinity line and only varying with different levels of tune. BUT just because an engine is widely used doesn't make it bad, it means that they believe in their product and designed it for use in commuter vehicles to sports cars to suv's. Gm did the same thing with the SB 350, that is still used today.

I also love how you neglected to mention Toyota/Lexus in that category, cuz they are the worst for doing this, almost every vehicle with a Lexus badge is a Toyota with a Lexus badge and wood trim.

BMW and Merc is getting watered down with their entry level luxury cars. Case and point, the X3, it's not a BMW but it sure is priced like one.

G37 FTW cuz it $10,000 less.

I have never seen Nissan surpass average long term reliability ratings......NEVER. New car ratings are a poor indicator of long term reliability. I'm not going to side track this thread but you are sooo wrong.

BTW: BMW's aren't anything special reliability-wise but I never claimed otherwise. I only claimed that at least with Lexus and Acura you can say that you purchased the more reliable car. Can't say that with a Nissan.

Germany vs Japan, i think Germany takes this one.

If you are cheap get the cheap car (G37) and if you are not then obviously the 335i would be the prestige choice. Remember kids you get what you pay for. Nissan sucks.

If you are comparing 4 door cars then it should be 335i vs C350. Mercedes vs BMW, the longest rivalry, is a more realistic comparison, Nissan should not be in the same sentence as either BMW or Mercedes. Call me a hater!

Haven driven both cars, I feel that the G37S doesnt have as good as a steering feel as the 335i. I find it too light where the BMW's is perfectly weighted.

I noticed that the BMW felt much better in the lower RPM ranges (more torque) while the G37S had a very linear powerband but didnt have quite the low end torque (actually reminds me of a E46 M3).

I like both interiors and exteriors and really i cant really choose between one or the other so it's a toss up in that department.

I must say tho, the G37S rides pretty damn stiff as well, doesnt feel as comfortable in the rear seats and has a pretty damn small trunk.

But is the BMW 12k better? Hard to say... but If i had the cash i'd get the BMW.

Bingo! People are just concocting situations in their mind where they can say "Fuck yeh, my BMW is better/faster than xxx". This mentality of "my car is better than yours" only exists within Beyond.ca and anytime you encounter other car enthusiasts. 90% of the people on the road could give two shits about what you drive.

Believe me, I would know, I used to think like that too. Oh and btw, you think your car is the shit until you see that M5, SLR, MC12, F430 rolling around town. It's a self perpetuating rat race you can never win at. Be content and happy that you can actually afford to roll around in a luxury car.

And oh yeh, my vote is for the 335 :D Torque at almost anywhere in the rev. DTC light kept coming on anytime I put down my foot; definitely need to keep DTC on at all times if you don't want to get into any trouble.

both nice cars. I would also put the IS350 on the list. Subjectively i like the looks and interior better. The performance of all 3 are very similar and you'd be hard pressed to find a big difference on the road. All 3 have plenty of juice. 300hp, 310, 320 whatever. It's lost in the wash in the real world.

Bottom line, drive all 3 and pick the one you like best. None of them are bad cars so no matter which car you pick, nobody can say you made a terrible choice.

So what service department doesn't have complaints!? you guys do know there is a website dedicated to how badly the BMW dealerships in Calgary suck http://www.geocities.com/anticalgarybmw/MSIE/, at least the people with problems at Hyatt Infiniti haven't resorted to that yet. But even so, does that entitle me to blatantly say that BMW service sucks period? hell no, because for as many people that have bad experiences there's probably an equal number with only good experiences. As evidenced by this website http://www.friendsofcalgarybmw.com/.

So the handful of people in that other thread have had bad experiences, I can name another handful that have never had a bad experience, a few of which are probably in this thread, I know I'm one. If complaints was the deciding factor on whether a service department was good or not, all service departments would be horrid!

Actually I think it has more to do with the Hyatt part not the Infinity part. Talk to anyone who knows, there is nothing good to say about the Hyatt group as far as ownership goes.

Yeah, customer service is another thing to consider. A friend got a 350Z from a Nissan dealership and they have been extremely shitty. BMW service has a waiting list?

I can't wait until Acura and Lexus have comparable coupes!!!:eek:

Acura service was adequate at my original dealership but now it's amazing since I switched to another dealership which I've used for the past 4 years... I only went back to my original dealership when they mailed me free oil changes :D

People love Hyatt Mercedes. It is the dealer not the group.

I used to work for the Hyatt group way way back in the day when I was in school to make money.

LOL, I've never seen such a big scam operation when it came to their used car department. The things we used to do...OMG...LOL...I felt sorry for anyone buying a used vehicle from them...LOL.

for my self if I had the money I'll pick the 335i coupe

Faster,
Even faster with procede
name come on its BMW
resell
rear seats are so romy

but since I dont grow money on my tree,

I'll take the G37

because of its
style
price

but the service reivews and rear seat is a great turn off.

conclusion,
either one is good
:D

and either one sure beats the hell out of say a mazda
