The 2012 M37 weighs 1,500 or so pounds more than the G and with the same eng
If the deal was good would you switch to an M?

It really is a different car with a different feel when youre driving. It all depends on if you want a bigger car not just a "nicer" car and then what look you are going far. Since you were talking about weight I'm assuming your comparing performance and the g37 definitely handle different. Spend some time driving one and if its the feel you want go for it.
No doubt they are beautiful cars too so you can't go wrong. And I agree with pcasey, get the sport, but then if you have the money get the 56.

^ agree with the above statement, def get the S. It all depends on your plans for the car, if you plan on going performance mod crazy (like alot of us), i think the G is a better platform. If you're aiming for luxury, jump for the M. Either way, you cant go wrong...those M's look good. As for me, I'd only upgrade to the M56S but I don't have the money to do that.

ill be honest, I love my 2011 M37s because it's the best of everything -- good handling, great performance, fast (13.6 q/t mile), fits people in the car.
I love my sport seats in my G sedan and plus it's stick, which you can't get in the M37s.
But sad part is the G sedan and my M are running the same times as far as performance.
Definitely more head turns with my M and status

I figured with the extra weight and same engine and specs, the M would be slower since it's heavier.
The salesman who sold me my 2009 G is trying to get me to move up to the M. My G is 18 months old and has 8200 miles on it. I could probably get a good trade-in $ for it.

I just moved from a 2008 G37s to the 2011 M37s. I love the new car and covers all the bases. I get just as many stares with the M37 as I did with the G37!!

Not to be a naysayer, but no way the M37s is as fast as a G37 - physics wouldn't allow it. For me, M56 or stick with the G. I test drove a Charger RT Road and Track model today, and it was big and very nice inside but really, not that fast surprisingly. My G could take it at a stoplight I think, or on the track. It's huge - 4400 pounds. I was really wanting one, but not so sure now. However, I would not throw the M56 out of bed for eating crackers, that's for sure. That is one hell of a car.

Since I haven't bought a G37 sedan yet, and am still considering other 4-door options, I also am considering one price tier up (which includes M37) and one above that (which includes M56).
I don't feel the M37 or the M56, when compared to other makes/models in their price class *including options*, stand out as much as the G37 in its price class and including options.
The G37 configuration I'd want puts it in the $42-45k price class (MSRP with options). If I end up going with the $55-60k (MSRP w/ options) class, the M37 won't be my first choice (though final out-the-door deals could affect that choice), but might be second. An M56, in the $70-75k MSRP with options class, also not top of my list.
And I feel obligated to comment on the ridiculousness of the gas guzzler tax, passed way back in 1978...
Either add trucks, minivans, and SUVs to it, or repeal the damn thing. It's ridiculous for the law to discriminate against passenger cars alone. They should at least amend it so you can claim a tax credit if your annual gas consumption is less than some average amount. The whole point was to decrease gallons of gas used, and mpg is only indirectly related to that. A "guzzler" that only drives 7000 miles per year uses less gas than some hybrid that drives 20k miles per year....so tax the high mileage hybrid too, or don't tax at all.
End soapbox ;o)
