Yep, to each their own. I own both BMW 5 and G37 Sedan. IMO the interior in the 3 (the loaner that I drove), especially without NAV, is bland. I agree the material feels better in the BMW than in the G. I also might have mis-spoke on the 3 exterior. I love BMW's look from the front, pretty much any 2000+ BMW.

The BMW 5, however, feels a lot more luxurious than the 3.

Unless my reading comprehension is failing me (um, nope), every tidbit of crap you quoted refers to infiniti's VALUE, not superiority.

The 3 is overall #1 for a reason, and the g is overall the best value.

+1

BMW is the one that sets the bar for small sports sedan.
Others are still trying hard to reach the bar.

The G and Audi are coming close.

Is a 328i and better sports sedan than a G37S?

I have conceded that a 335i is the better sport sedan, though not a better over all value. I don't think anyone is arguing these two completely different measures of a vehicle.

based on msrp:
A new similarly equipped 328i costs roughly the same as my G37S 6mt.
A new similarly equipped 335i costs $10k more than my G37S 6mt (loaded).
Factor in that I bought my G at > $4k below msrp and I am happy. I couldn't get BMW to budge half of that amount when I talked to them a few years ago.

While I would always consider spending more (gaining in performance) on a 335i, I would never ever consider spending the same or more for a 328i.

Finding a BMW below MSRP can be done, you just have to shop around. Some dealers won't budge, some will.

Power is lacking in 328.
I think G37's position is like

G25-----328i-----------------------G37--335i---------M3

What do you think?

Based on performance, yes I agree - from the 328 up.
I have never driven the G25, nor do I wish too.

Step 1. Trade in your G
Step 2. Get a higher paying job to afford a 335i.
Step 3. Go get a 335i
Step 4. Join a BMW forum
Step 5. Post there and not here about your "endless love" for BMW's. That is all you post about is how you think the 3 series is greater than the G37. LOL

Bravo!

That's all I always doubt about this guy and the other "San~ man", their post are endlessly propaganda on how 3 series superior than the 3 series.

I think, for G37 owners, we are mature, and friendly and I found a lot of reasonable, unbiased, well thought posts beyond rants on the 3. however, if you belong to your wonderland of 3 series, why would you keep posting here all day on how 3 series better than G etc?

I notice a theme, ......$$........$$$.............$$$...$$$$........ $$$$$

My in laws hae a 2010 328i. Its nice but I wouldnt trade it for my G37. If they had a 335i, that would be a different story..

Dollar for dollar and my experience drivingh the G and the 328i auto, G37 is the easy winner. The 328i is just not exciting.

Sometimes I wish I could, it's easy money, especially since there's only 1 dealer here.

It isn't "propaganda" if it's fact. Plain and simple.

Some of your posts verge on the edge of immaturity, let's be realistic.

I thought everyone here was being mature, but the simple fact is that you don't want to hear any opinion other than your own. Everyone except you agrees that the 3 is a superior car, price and interior taste/design aside. However, you keep trying to find evidence on the net that proves otherwise, but you can't. The fact that you've never owned one proves that you're talking out of your rear

Furthermore, everyone in this thread is in agreement that the G is a superior value. I said it a long time ago. No one is arguing that fact, but you keep trying to beat the dead horse to prove it's a better car overall. All those magazine reviews agree that the G is the better value, not that it's a better sports sedan.

The fact is, other than price, it simply is not.
