Your situation is kinda vague to me. Are you restricted to a certain budget...45-50k? Are you gonna mod your car? These are important things to keep in mind. Right now I'd honestly say go with a 335i, but test drive a G37 just in case.

get a good price on a 04 convertible and if you don't like it get a 335i coupe Euro delivery... I would say 08 m3 but only if it makes sense financially for you... don't get the g35, it's nice but no bmw...

this is an easy one imo.....335i....better all around performance than an 04 m3.......well g37...not a chance....drive the g and then drive the 335 and the decision will be easy!
good luck whatever you choose!

get the the 335 if you don't want to wait... if time is not a problem i say wait a couple more months and get the e90 M3... i think the E90 m3 looks awesome...it's going to look so much better in person.. especially the AW...

I would also go for the 335i if these were my only choices, though the G37 does sound interesting.

You must have a very easy life then my friend!

Test drive all three, that should be a good indicator.

Between the 335 and G37 I think its pretty simple. Unless you like the looks of the G better and it would make better sense for you financially, then go for the 335 - its a better car in every way.

I usually try to stay away from used cars... by the time your done with the M3 its going to be VERY outdated, and I imagine that a 335 coupe and 04 M3 convertible would be about the same speed anyway.

All these cars are within my budget. The decision is hard for me because i cant decide on what I want more...luxury,performance,looks,or just the fact that the G37 has all these and would save me up to $6,000 which I can use to just mod the car. I have a BMW now which is a factor in why this decision is so hard..I just love the overall feel of it and the fact that i can say " I have a BMW". But in transition I have heard so many great things about the G37 which is intensifying this decision. But theres only one way to figure out what I want and thats going to be a test drive of both cars ( yea by the way I excluded the M3 from my decision) hopefully this week. Has anyone drove or been in the Infiniti?

Ok, I have both an 03.5 M3 cab and the 335. I bought the M3 used this summer. I will never buy a used car again. It just doesn't feel right. haha.

I love the rawness of the M3. The 335 is too smooth. Don't worry, mods are coming for it. The problem with the M3 is that it is heavy and feels underpowered compared to the 335. I live at altitude, so there is a pronounced difference.

I personally wouldn't get a G37 as I really don't like the look of it. That, however, is just my opinion. The E92 isn't the most beautiful car either. I think that is why I am hanging on to my E46.
