Yimbie, BMW dealerships work very different. They post a high markup to allow the salesperson to negotiate, other companies like Lexus do it. A fully loaded 335i "out of the door" would be around 50k at max. I have seen people down at bimmerforums.com get it for less. People on this forum are correct, you can't compare 335i with a G37 because Infiniti doesn't even offer twin turbo.
P.S. Lexus will sell you a car WELL below the listed MSRP.

^^^So rather than actually getting a deal, they make you FEEL like you got a deal. I get it. That's kinda like overpricing and then deeply discounting. No thanks, I'd rather pay a reasonable price. Negotiating just wears me out.

I would have to say that it's a great price for a car in this kind of market. Mercedes is way up there in price so I wont even bother and Audi's A5 is still months and months away so I wont bother with that either but it's speculated that it's going to be around $40,000 base price.
I hope people actually realize that the G37 is very well priced as compared to its competitors... especially with a comparably loaded 335i and stop comparing it to the G35 sedan. lol

You have to compare using simiar packages, not by adding all the packages!
For example:
G37 + Sport Package + Navigation + Premium = MSRP + 7250 = 42250
BMW 335 + Sport Package + Navigation Package + Premium + Cold Package = MSRP + 7750 = 48550
Difference is $6300.
Again, considering that the 335 is a little faster, it mods easier, you get better gas mileage and your maintenance is free for 4 years, that canges this a bit and I don't see the difference that was in the past price-wise.
I sounds like you need to keep reassuring yourself and everyone else that you made the right choice for youself and defend your G37 like there is no tomorrow. The G37 is a good value, nobody denies that.

The best deal I got for the IS350 is $3,500 below MSRP and it's not really fair to compare the Lexus IS350 purchase price with the Infiniti G37's considering that the IS has been around since 2006 model year.

monaco blue metallic paint = blue slate
premium package = premium package
sports package = sports package
autotrans = autotrans
active steering (oops I forgot my car doesn't have 4WAS so that's -$1,400)
active cruise control = intelligent cruise control
comfort access = intelligent key
heated front seats = heated front seats
nav package = nav package
sirius sat radio = xm sat radio
ipod = ipod
I've corrected the price to be approx $8,700 (without destination charges). My mistake!

That's why there are waiting lists to get the 335i and not a plentiful amount of them at dealerships, because the demand is so high. If you wont buy it at MSRP, then someone else will quickly. Of course there are some nice people who do allow to bargain a tad lower than MSRP but almost $5k below MSRP? Either those people who get $50k max have some extremely powerful mind controlling skills or that's bogus. A fully loaded BMW 335i comes out to be about $55,000...

Japanese cars will always be cheaper, more or less, than german cars. That is a fact. But there are differences that are not visible, if you just go and price the car.
Also, the coupes are harder to get, due to the high demand, but the sedan is highly available.

Gotta say, they priced it a little to high, offered a little too less, and added way too much weight.
