^watch out, Yimbie here will bite your ***** off in order to better suit you to buy a G37.
But personally, I think the G37 looks good. <--- male.
This thread is for the videos. We have never discussed the Motor Trend videos since they weren't released before.
What? What's the difference?
Car vs. Car means you throw out the price tag (I'm saying this because the cars have a relatively comparable price range, that's why the car reviewers are comparing them in the first place). However, if you choose to include the price, the majority of reviews still favor the BMW.
*edit*
And I'm done with regards to this topic... just *walkin away*.

That was the first thing that was apparent when watching the video. the driver was saying the 335 was more refined and buttoned down, but from what I saw, the 335 had a lot more understeer and snap oversteer.
I didn't see any snap oversteer with the G37, it looked well controlled (or easily controlled) to me.

LSD plays a big roll on the track when losing traction. With a good LSD the 335i would be even more stable.. Too bad it is not standard. It can be installed but geez by the time you add it and then the Procede chip the price gets up there. There are a lot of other cars over $50K I'd rather drive than the 335i...

It's like arguing to a Christian that "no, god doesn't really exist." You're going to get no where with these JDM thumpers. Everyone else in the car world knows to pick the 335i over the G. However, those types of people are rare here...
PS
What's with all the drifting in the video?! Where the f*ck is the Stig when we need him?!

I'm not trying to influence anyone, I was correcting misinformation. The N54 is not the 330/328 engine with turbos slapped on. That isn't me saying 'zomg, best engine ever", it's me saying the statement "it's probably just a 328 without the turbos" is not correct. Chill.

But I don't understand anything else that you said... because I.... own... a... G..35... so I am blind to see how I'm defending my purchase. All I'm doing is looking at the statistics and reviews of both the G37 and 335i as a "car" enthusiast, not a "G" enthusiast. And to be honest, the after market, easy power potential of the 335i makes it a clear winner in my book.

I love my G btw. It's the best car I've ever owned (not that I've owned impressive cars in the past tho).
