Bye bye sweet G37...

Agreed - the E92 has a very elegant exterior design. I'm also not a fan of the new 3 and 4 series. The front is particularly horrible on these.
The interior, however, killed the E92 for me. Also, I was too afraid of reliability problems with the N54 engine in the 335is. The N55 in the 335i seems fine, but you don't get the DCT in the 335i, and BMW manual transmission is ok but not great. I was also looking at the M3, but the interior quality level was simply not acceptable to me for the price.

And yes, the DCT is incredible. So nice to have a quality transmission again. The 7at has just been such a disappointment. I hope the q50 isn't riddled with the same issues.

BTW, nice wheels on your 3. As far as the interior goes, the leather is 10x better than the Gs, the seats are just fine, the rest is pretty utilitarian, but to get the drive you'll be getting is all worth it IMO. Paint is better and the DCT is a blast (loved driving a DCT 135i a while back, shifts just click w/ such snap.
But you WILL miss US

Anyway, this doesn't mean you'll experience any issues, and I wish you many years of enjoyment - it's an awesome car! I almost got one - in fact, I special ordered one, but then passed on it later on.

Thanks again for all the kind words! I plan to check in here every now and then and if anyone wants to keep in touch over email shoot me your info over PM and I'll do the same!
Also, thanks to those who PMed me their interest in the parts- that's the best way to do it so if you want dibs please do that. If anything gets presold I'll make that clear in the first post.
I won't be able to reply to the PMs until tonight or tomorrow due to work responsibilities, so hang tight!

The Q50? Pretty sure its the same 7AT- at least for the non-hybrid. Which is what I would have gotten if I stuck with Infiniti. The new Hybrid is the most compelling one I've seen at a midrange price point, but I just don't want a Hybrid since I will be tracking my car and don't want the added complexity.
