Look guys, I love my BMW just as much as the next guy, but this is getting pretty bad. It looks... fanboyish.

Overstating weight differences and 1/4 mile times? For what? It's not hard to go out and verify what you say, so there's no sense in lying.



This is actual testing, and it's pretty much dead even.

C/D TEST RESULTS: G37 / 335i
Zero to 60 mph: 5.4 sec / 5.3 sec
Zero to 100 mph: 12.9 sec / 13.0 sec
Street start, 5–60 mph: 6.0 sec / 5.9 sec
Standing ¼-mile: 13.9 sec @ 104 mph / 13.8 sec @ 103 mph
Top speed (C/D est, governor limited): 150 mph / 155 mph
Braking, 70–0 mph: 164 ft / 164 ft
Roadholding, 300-ft-dia skidpad: 0.93 g / 0.89 g

I have lots of respect for the g37 and Nissan in general. not to sound fanboyish or anything, but you're quoting f30 sedan and IPL g37 coupe stats. I hate nitpicking, but I thought it'd be more relevant for this forum to use c&d's stats for the e90 335i and the g37s sedan. this particular 335i has the n55 and 6mt

Curb weight: 3514 lb
Zero to 60 mph: 4.8 sec
Zero to 100 mph: 11.7 sec
Zero to 130 mph: 20.7 sec
Street start, 5–60 mph: 5.5 sec
Standing ¼-mile: 13.6 sec @ 106 mph
Braking, 70–0 mph: 168 ft
Roadholding, 300-ft-dia skidpad: 0.89 g

here's a test sheet from c&d for a g37S sedan with 6mt
http://media.caranddriver.com/files/...-g37-sport.pdf

Curb weight: 3682 lb
Zero to 60 mph: 5.4 sec
Zero to 100 mph: 13.5 sec
Zero to 130 mph: 24.7 sec
Street start, 5–60 mph: 6.3 sec
Standing ¼-mile: 14.0 sec @ 102 mph
Braking, 70–0 mph: 159 ft
Roadholding, 300-ft-dia skidpad: 0.92 g

and again, objective stats only tell so much about a car...

My buddy has a family friend that owns an Infinity dealership so his whole family drives them. He complained about my cars handling the moment he rode in it and he swares my car is "unreliable" and that I should have gotten a G37 like hes buying soon because I keep bringing it in to get worked on. I guess he doesnt realize that labor and parts are free with the CPO warranty so I look for things to take it in for just so its running perfectly all the time. Knowing him he will want to race me the moment he gets his G but by then I'll probably have my tune, DCI, and my exhaust and will blow his doors off.
But I do love G37's and was debating on getting one but always thought the 335i was more sexy. (I was right)

I had a G35 try to go with me last night on my way home from my girlfriend's place but I didn't even give him the time of day due to the fact that we were on a congested highway. I'm not trying to weave in and out of traffic and potentially kill someone. The only other car I played with was another 335i, but we were both respecful and at the end gave a flick of the lights and a wave.

i used to have a g35 and now i cant stand them! i fucking hate those things ive had a couple g35 try to race me on the highway and i embarrass them ofcourse. i have a manual 2009 e92. idk what it is about them i think they are tryin to get their stripes by beating a bimmer but thats not going to happen. i remember thwne i had my g i tried the same thing lol didn't end well.

While I wouldn't use the word unreliable, I agree with your friend about our cars' handling out of the box. There is an inherent compromise in the bushings due to our runflats that make suspension geometry variable. The G does not have this problem in stock form.

[theblackmamba]

Here's the key.

Most G's -- sedans are actually more expensive to lease -- are leased. The problem with infiniti's leasing program is this -- as long as you're approved and the dealer agrees on a price you want to pay for the vehicle then they will lease you a car. i.e. On t.v. you'll see they have the national ad for $459/mo 48/mo now you can go to the dealer and negotiate down to lets say $259/mo at 48/mo with zero down -- obviously you're not going to get an S model at this price but I hope you get the idea.

Now you're paying the same amount for an accord as a G -- which would you take?

Didn't you see the previous post about 10 most douche cars? G was one of em.. you just have to understand them and move on.

I would say you are right but the kid owns a 14 year old Infinity SUV and no one in his family owns a car that is newer than 2005. He's not really a car guy so it's more of fanboy comments than actual car knowledge. lol he also said his sisters 05 G35 would crush my car in a race because it has more hp so that says a lot.

Well that's annoying. You should take his gf to a really nice date.

I would but that would require him to have and maintain a gf. Not his forte.

I'll just take his sister out. lol at least shes sensible and says she wants my car over her G35.

Lot of Chrysler stuff trying to race. I had a guy in a 300 race me from light to light, losing every time. Challenger SRT blew me away the other day, it was in good fun though. Lots of riced Civics losing (I bet they think their cosmetically modded Si has more power than a non-modded BMW. But subs are heavy bruh.) Also older six cylinder mustangs. Nobody with a newer six or GT have bothered me.

[Cleanlex12]

Other day I had 90's jetta tried race me he cut me off n put his hazard light on n vroom off with his pos all I can do shake my head n move on wit traffic.... Kids n there fast n furious ricer

[mashimarho]

Out of curiosity, what does your car look like?

A year later with having the car, I don't think I will be getting rid if this any time soon.

This is what I thought, then my 08 e92 335 started having major issues. Two kids in college, downsized at work, and I traded it for a brand new Hyundai Genesis Coupe. I get 100 times more looks and comments now...I never, ever thought I would buy a Hyundai.

I've seen this twice in this thread. You drive a BMW. I'll leave it at that.

[OmidHariri]

They are all mostly douche bags here in the valley. The ranks say bmw has the assholest drivers but g's take the cake

[Benstuck]

Down here in Houston, most problems I have is with stupid pickup truck drivers. They love to jack up their trucks and drive them like sports cars. I still don't get why they hang fake "nutsacks" from their tow hitch

[e90'D10]

The part of Florida I'm at there's a grip load of subis which are very annoying, they kept trying to race me with my Evo 8. So I fugred my 335i shouldn't attract them, WRONG!!! it attracted them more so and these little weak civics as well. Not sure why

[bimmer_335]

Best fun I had was with a sports bike... both of us hitting 130 on 79 thru some crazy curves in Pittsburgh. Later he slows down and waves before taking exit. It was fun.

[curiouz_g]

Bolt on 350z's and G35's are fun to mess with, especially in the M3. I love when they weave around traffic to try and get around you. I usually downshift to 5k rpms and wait till they get door to door with me while they're at full throttle thinking they'll fly past me. I then proceed to leave em in the dust all the way up to 8200 rpms.
