It would be nice if they offered that on 3-series cars, but you have to pony up to a 5 or 7 to obtain that.

actually not at all.. ok i will cut bimmer some slack ill say 7x better. No comparision in interior. im almost guarrenteed if u bought a g37 u will be saying that its 10x better. There is no way that bimmer is matching up with infiniti's interior. Compare both bone stock cars infiniti is then 15x better. THe navi on bimmer helps the middle console out alot but still not comparable to the g37 interior.

Also, the G37 vs. 335i vs. Cayman S comparo isn't exactly a fair comment. The G37 and 335i are directly compared and are very close to each other in most aspects. However, the Cayman S is generally considered to be a much better sports car than either the 335i or G37 (in addition to being in a different class).

Lastly, I understand why e90/92 owners would be frustrated that so many G35/G37 supporters have infiltrated their site. Personally, 6 months ago I was on the fence between putting down a deposit for a G37 or 335i. While I went with the G37, I still think the 335i is a great car and one of my friends has purchased one as well. While some of the members of this site might consider us Infiniti owners trolls, I would argue that much of the G37 content (dynos, timeslips, quotes, reputation) has been taken from our forums and brought here. Additionally, there have been about 15 G37 threads on this site, with about 3 active. While there is 1 small one on myg37.com. That's just some food for thought for those who complain about why these threads pop up. At any rate, both are great cars and appeal to people for different reasons.
That's a good point. The G37 and 335i are very close in many aspects and thus we have a lot of comparisons on this forum. I'm a member of the freshalloy forum for Nissan and believe me, the 335i comes up a lot in that forum as well. I think BMW took a tremendous step in performance for their 3 series by installing a twin turbo and I'm absolutely ecstatic to get my 335i when I accept delivery in Jan/Feb. I love my G35 like I had stated before but I'm very excited to be a BMW owner.

I'd never buy another G. I've owned a G35................not impressed! I've test driven the G37 on two occasions now...........still not impressed! There are some things that I admittedly like about the G37 (...HD that rips CD's, real-time traffic.....which the BMW has as well, adjustable upper/lower bolsters, etc.), but none of those things carry enough currency to make me consider purchasing the car; I prefer the understated BMW interior. I also found the interior lighting a bit irritating; I prefer the BMW's reddish-orange.
