Well I am looking into a G37 coupe something under 60k miles for around $20k. Now I am aware compared to the 3 series, G's are extremely reliable, I intend to own this car for AT LEAST 4 years. Are there any long term reliability issues I should be aware of? I have driven a G37X sedan many many times and absolutely LOVE it so whether this car is for me is not a question.

Thanks in Advance

 

I'm not sure if you're looking for a 6mt. BUT if youre looking for an automatic 2008s were only 5at and became 7at in 2009. One of the huge differences to think about.

 

Yes it is.

 

yes; right after i posted this i found that out, idk its 2011, I can't deal with a 5 speed, also the gas would be worse but overall i love the responsiveness of the 7AT. Unfortunately i cannot drive manual so the 6MT is not an option

 

Learn how to!! Manual trannies are one of the best simple joys of life This goes with good cheese, good bread and good beer

 

Took me about 3 months to find the one I wanted, but it can be done.

 

didn't the s version in 08 come with a 7 speed?

 

what types of sights did you use? Cars.com? Autotrader?

 

In a week, you can go basically anywhere without a problem. In a month, you can eliminate most of the jerkiness when driving. 6MT is so much more engaged to drive, seriously.

 

Just got mine yesterday. YES GET ONE!

edit: I have an e90 330xi as well. The G is waaaaaay better than the bmw, way more fun, and the interior is way better in the G. The 335i is a tad faster I believe but the G is definitely a much better overall car & more reliable. Cost me around 2k to get my A/C repaired in the bmw. The BMW is definitely a fun car, but you will have buyers remorse if you get it. Get the G and score a peace of mind.

 

No. 09+ came with A7.

 

I would think you could find one with much less than 60k miles, more like 30-40k max....

 

I'm looking for nearly the same thing, but an '09x coupe. First year for both awd and 7spd tranny. I am a parapalegic so I am limited to the auto tranny for hand controls. The first thing I would mod would be to add paddle shifters though. When I could use my feet, I only considered manuals, it was my number one criteria for car purchases. the x is only available with the 7 speed auto, and as far as auto trannies go, it seems like a very good one. I'm looking forward to using the paddles.

Now they only need to add a double clutch and forced induction options to really make these things punch. The IPL division needs to step it up a bit, they are far to mild. If their biggest competition is the 3 series, why not aim the IPL at the M? Dammit, I want a factory inter-cooled twin turbo coupe. But I digress...

 

Ive been lookin around at used G's lately, they have really takin a dip, hell I found a bunch of 08s in the mid 20's!

 

recently i bought a 2010 g37s anniversary edition! with 6k mile on it, clean car title, and mint condition! for $33700! im pretty sure u can find a 2009+ with 30k for 20-24k. looks around! i had to drive 200+ miles to pick it up though.
