hey guys, im planning on getting the new 2011 g37xs coupe in a few weeks when i get back home. my friend told me that he has some connections at some bmw dealers, and MIGHT be able to get me the new 335i xdrive coupe fully loaded for about equal price as the g fully loaded... possibly less even...
what do you guys think????? helppppp

 

If you like the BMW more and the deal is great, there is really no decision here in my opinion.

Which one do you like better and why?

 

If you can get the 335i for the same price as a G coupe...possibly less, then I'd go with the BMW.

 

get the car which you like. both have great resale values but it's dependant on what your preference will be.

 

ive heard bmw maintenance is expensive.. but its surely a powerful car.

 

I'd go with the BMW for sure

 

+10000000000000 for the BMW

 

Nice ride, lots of power, its a no brainer. I'm leaning towards a S5 myself.

 

i didnt say i like the bmw more. i was looking to see what others opinions were because i really never thought about the beamer seriously since its so much more money...
i might even like the looks of the g better but the beamer just has such good reviews as if its flawless it makes it very tempting especially the turbo!.. thanks

ive just been waiting to finally get the g and then all of a sudden my friend offers to try and hook me up with a deal..
and yeah man if you can afford it than absolutely go for the s5 its a beautiful car and is a beast, cant go wrong with it.. just a high price tag..

 

o and has anyone driven the new bmw? and can compare it to the g please? preferably the awd models if possible...
thanks guys

 

Maintenance is covered for 4 years or 50k miles, but after that, it's about the same as the Infiniti if you take it to the dealer.


I'd say drive both and see which one you like better. I like both cars and both have their ups and downs. The biggest thing with the BMW is the fact that the power band is amazing and every day driving is more fun in it.

 

I've driven both, I found the BMW to be a bit small inside for me but other than that it's a very nice car.

 

Taking value out of the equation, I would say the BMW is the better choice. Better driving dynamics, German cache, etc. Don't forget to factor in what options come with each car.

Personally, I would still choose the G because I prefer NA engines and it would still be easier/less expensive to maintain after the warranties run out. That's if you prefer to keep the car that long.

Just my 2 cents. Good luck with your choice.

 

What do you mean by it (the bmw) being more fun as a daily drive? How so?
Thanks

 

I hate BMW. Unless it's an M5, you would have to pay me just to consider a bimmer. My vote goes for the G hands down
