Upgrading from G37 coupe

[DoubleShot]

For almost $7k less...even at same price I would pick M3 over S5...and Alpine White is HOT!!

[BlkHR37S]

If not Is-F then M3 , wouldn't consider an S5 if it were between s5 and G I pick G37!!! M3 stock is badd *** too and if you can get it less than an is-f then yah I would take it.

See Iceberg??? The forum has spoken....go grab that M3 man!!!!

[NIGHTLFEphantom]

M3 or ISF. That is all I have to say to this thread.

[GiGGaplease]

tt your g37 or m3

[KnoxvilleG37]

The only problem I have with the ISF is that it isn't DIFFERENT enough for the beast that it is. One could drive by and you could easily think "oh there goes a chick in her IS250"....until you saw the quad tips and heard the V8 rumble. I agree that it's a great car....Car and Driver loved it except for the NUMEROUS service "check-ups" it had to have. I still say go M3....don't look a gift horse in the mouth. I bought my G37 new for close to $46k (first '09 off the truck doesn't get you too many discounts when there are '08s on the lot). If I could have bought a practically new M3 for close the the same money......the Bimmer would be sitting in my garage. Period. Enjoy the new German girl soon to be sitting in your garage! (And tell her not to scratch the paint on the M3)

you can say the same for the m3. looks like the 335i. only differences that i can tell coming up to one is the quad tips and the m3 on the front fender...only than that, not much different.

Actually you're right....I'm just Bimmer-biased.

Just solve the debate and TT the G instead. That would be much more unique than any of those other three and would be freakin bad ***. GTM is a top quality shop and and am sure their turbo kit reflects that. I dont know much on the subject, but from what i've heard, a quality turbo kit installed the right way and running a conservative boost and tune can still make some pretty impressive power and be very reliable and durable.

Knoxville and Wakeboard, you guys both are bringing up great points and are making my decision that much harder! Both would be unique, but a TT G37 would be even more unique. The M3 has a serious voice and that's compelling as well. Though it can't be readily distinguished from a 335 by someone who's NOT a car enthusiast (i.e. 90% of all women), it's a thrilling drive and it turns heads when it's actually sitting still. This is a tough one!!! The salesman wants me to come in on Thursday so you guys have less than 2 days to help me make up my mind! J/k. If the G37 wasn't soo damn good! Now if this was a GT-R for $48K...

[KnoxvilleG37]

If you decide to TT the G37, give the sales guy my # for the M3....j/k. I'm actually looking at a new Invidia exhaust. Damn this forum and it's influence on me to spend money. But my girl is worth it

As far as the sales guy is concerned, he did everything but put a big red ribbon on it for me. I need to spend some time on the road with the M3, not just another sh*tty test drive. I have less than 48 hours to make up my mind and even though everything is pointing me in the direction of the M so far, knowing myself and how picky I am, I might find something to turn me off.

You're very right Knoxville, she's definitely worth it. These 2 years have been really fun and that's why I'm having so much trouble letting go.

[KnoxvilleG37]

Well bottom line, go take the M3 out for a LONG test drive with the dealer. Push her hard when you can, and see how she'd behave as a daily driver. If you like it and can see yourself driving it everyday and loving every minute of it....then go for it. You can ALWAYS re-sell it for roughly the same price in a year's time I'm sure, maybe a bit less...depends on mileage. M3's retain hella value....at least the one's I've found on cars.com.

[oOmikeyboy]

i say go for the M3. they look beastly and you can't argue with the 8k+ redline.

But when you get closer you notice the Carbon fiber roof, aggressive fenders and hood; all of the little things along with the 19" sport wheels with the growl of the V8. At the end of the day M3 is a M3. M3>335i all day.
