Red G37S Cab....from a BMW 335 :)
So my lease was ending on my 2007 BMW 335 Coupe and I wasn't too into getting another one. After looking around at cars I wanted I stumbled back into an Infiniti dealer. The Cab caught my eye (I was thinking of a used SL500) and after some dealing the car was mine (lease). It's pretty nuts how good of a deal I got (I think since BMW couldn't get me into a car for less with a 10K less sticker)...
Anyway, I haven't driven it too much but so far I like it a lot. My BMW was fast and MT, but I went for color over transmission this time. I wanted red or blue and there wasn't one with MT around. Kinda bummed but I still like it.
It's an S with Navi and premium (whatever it's called). I'm not going to mod this car because I had a 2004 350Z which was twin turbo (I loved that car) and I have an old 1976 280Z in the garage. I was a big poster on some Z forums and I'm looking forward to posting. I hated BMW forums because the douchers always seem to be overly BMW...even though they are far from perfect.
ON a side note...if anybody wants to buy my coupe its for sale before I turn it in 26,500
I threw in a pic of the BMW, my old 350Z and my real love 280Z.

Congrats on such a sexy car! They all say they won't touch their cars, and seeing that both your previous rides were twin turbo'd I'm sure the mod bug will be biting so bad haha Your ride will be on it's way to GTM before you know it!

280 is running decent. The body and stuff is good, I need to replace suspension bushing and stuff. It was all original and after 34 years she could use some new stuff...but I love it. I'll hopefully be putting some money into it this year. I don't drive it too much.

I didn't do much to the BMW, but I bought nice wheels (BBS) and I tried to keep them in good shape and it's too much to worry about.
I do think that it needs to be lowered or the wheels pushed out a little, but I'm happy with it.

I bought a moonlight white g37 vert with premium/sport/tech/nav on Dec 31 - I was seriously considering a new 335 vert but I made an offer on the g37 at what I thought was an outrageously low price and they accepted. Wife has an 07 X3 and I just sold my Audi A6 2.7T last week - I've still got a BMW e36 vert with only 38k miles that I'm going to sell when it warms up and the vert market improves. I looked seriously at an Audi A5 cab as well. If the prices had been the same I would have got the 335 but I'm about 12k ahead of where I would have been buying the BMW.

Nah, I went through that phase, the only thing I would do is maybe intake/exhaust.

BMW on my wife's X3 lease which is up in March offered free "certification" - warranty extension for another 2 years and to 70 or 100k miles - can't remember which. She loves the car but the purchase price is probably 2K or so above market value. Lot's of talk about loyalty cash and a good deal if we got a new BMW to replace. I'd like her to look at an EX35, G37x, A4, or 328ix but she really likes the X3.
