had the battery problem the first week of having the car...none ever since. there are rattles and clicking which annoys me. is it just me or the speedometer area is making some noise like an old bed. when driving on the interstate, driving like 85mph then braking hard, the car would shake and it felt like the front wheels wanted to fall off. gotta go get that checked. had the exhaust problem but when i gutted the axleback, the sound when away.

so if you could buy it again would you or would u go 335i or whatever.

Gigga you need to go in for your brakes to be checked. Probably the warped front rotors covered under TSB.

i didnt buy the car though. i work for my parents without pay so i guess i work for the car. if i could choose between the g37 or 335i, i would choose the 335i. it really depends what you want. speed with some luxury or luxury with some speed? i wished i went with the 335i because its already stock FI'd which is "cheaper" to mod.

knowing the dealership here, they would just say its normal. when i have the time, im going to another dealership an hour away from me to check if they would fix the rattling clutch, brakes, seats, clicking noise from the rear axle, noise coming from the windows when opening and closing the door..a whole bunch of stuff, haha.

Yup, it was annoying in traffic because as you slow down, the car would lunge forward due to the RPM surge.

Thanks. Hmm, now that I think of it, this is probably what caused be to rear-end someone as I was pulling out of my neighborhood. Was stopping behind them then out of no where the car lunged forward and I bumped into them.
