Well put. I concur.

I concur.

3,700+ lbs on the G37 is hefty! I used to complain about my '04 Ivory Pearl 6mt G35 Coupe 3500 lb weight but that's just insane!

wider tires
rear LSD
bigger motor
more electronics
AWS(All wheel steering)

The G37 ran 0-60 in 5.4 seconds. That's only 0.1-0.2 faster than a G35.

Small gain in power, small gain in weight. Why would you think the G37 would be a leap in performance?

As for the comparison, I think they're two different niches of the same market. The G37's value quotient is much higher than the 335i.

Thers no way the G37 runs 0-60 in the high 4,s.The 335 runs it in 4.8-4.9 even though BMW claims 5.3. But they claim that and de-tuned the car because of the new M3 coming out with the 8 cyl.Every 335i tested on a dyno made over 300hp.Closer to 330. I will have my 07 335i coupe,Space grey mettalic,aluminum trim w/black leather,sport pack,6spd. MT in 3- 4 weeks after ordering it in the first week of june. Cant wait. Turning 50 changed my taste in cars somewhat,and i,m ready for a car like the 335i coupe after 2 Evo,s.An 03 8 (modded) Trent from Buschur bought it BTW,and an06 BR350 IX,which i really miss. The Evo will always be in my heart and soul as far as best bang for the buck in a RAW performance car.I know i,m gonna love the 335,but i will never compare the two as they are completly different cars.And for sure no matter what i think of the BMW i will never say a negative word about the EVO.
