Race me, buster.
It's a blast, to be honest. The only hiccups are that I'm AWD/No LSD, where the G was RWD and had LSD. Oh well.
If you're not scared of doing independent research to source parts and DIYs, you'll be just fine buying a BMW that's out of warranty.
Nothing wrong with playing it safe and just getting a Japanese car either!

Well, had some work done on the car over the weekend.
Turbos replaced, all vacuum lines, spark plugs, oil filter housing gasket, and a nice carbon cleaning.
Also had that OEM style spoilerput on. Car feels brand new.

^ yikes, sounds like a pricey bit of work. and i assume out of pocket. is all that work (aside from the spoiler) considered preventative maintenance at your mileage or was something fouled/broken? how many miles?
i ask because i do consider BMWs from time to time, but always get nervous about repair bills and excessive service requirements compared to the japanese offerings. .

BMW 335i (N54) turbo warranty extended for wastegate issues to 8yrs/82k miles
Everything else was preventative.
Buying a BMW out of warranty is mostly about doing independent research for parts and DIYs. Just like with any brand, there's things you can't do without a lift or a shop. BUT working at the dealer does help.

I'm jumping the G ship as well in a couple months. Just ordered a BMW this past week and it'll take 2-3 months to arrive. For me, the ride/handling of the BMW is leagues ahead of Infiniti. Hope you're still enjoying the 335!
