Default 2005 Infiniti G35 Coupe vs. 2005 BMW 330ci

I am buying a new car in the next week and now I've really had a hard time deciding between the G35 coupe and the BMW 330ci. I understand that the G35 is faster than the 330ci in straight line performance, and I can't seem to find any 330ci's with the ZHP package with decent mileage or I probably would have gotten that!

Here are pictures of both:

so how long do you keep your cars? chances are within the next 4 yeas you will dump thousands into the bmw and not into the nissan. that being said the performance and ride of both cars is simular so what does your heart tell you? head and heart are the key factors in a car choice for me. head wise it is the infinity. heart wise it could be the bmw...see where i am going?

For used, it comes down to the condition/price/equipment/etc. of the particular cars you're considering that are available at decision time.

Drive them all, consider the BMW will cost more to maintain, then let your heart decide.

G35 Coupe.

Faster, better looking, good driving position, shifter is less rubbery.

G35... why buy a 3 series bmw they all look the same- the g35 is better in every category, not to mention they are sexy as hell and the sound is orgasmic.

I say get the 330ci. The G35 is great for what it is; a BMW-lite. I drove them both maybe 2 years ago. It wasnt back to back but the BMW was certainly memorable! People often grudge what they cant enjoy themselves. That motor in the G is incredibly unrefined and gets shitty mileage. Every 19yr old in my town has one.
