Neatest thing to me offhand is the push button start on the G37..mind you my car before this was a 2003 Acura so any sort of Keyfob instead of a key to start it was neat. But to just use a button and keep the fob in my pocket was really cool to me. Rest..well...all of it neat but that's the one that comes to mind first for me.

Addendum: Okay, the self healing clear coat. I just got my first scratch yesterday. Not deep at all, but I could still spot it fairly well and I could feel it under my fingertip for most of the length of it, even if just barely in spots. Oddly it didn't **** me off despite the car being a month old, so I decided to see if it would just "heal" itself before I buffed it out. It's pretty cold here even in the garage but I just looked, it's almost gone now. I'll give it one more day before I try to remove it, but that's pretty neat, seeing a scratch almost disappear in less then 24 hours on it's own.

Hmm well you might feel a difference in the power from your 335i to the G but I think I think in ride condition the G feels a lot softer which I kind of like.

On the reliability part I haven't had a problem with mine yet and mine is a 08.

Keep in mind that before this I was driving a Blazer in 4x4 all over CO's mountains, but...

-key fob, I never take it out of my pocket, use door buttons to lock/unlock
-push start
-voice control of everything in the car
-rear camera w/ guidelines
-intelligent cruise control (the COOLEST and MOST USEFUL things ever)
-AFS (the headlights that turn with the steering wheel)
-iPod integration
-I think the telescoping gauges are pretty cool

this is the first brand new car I've ever owned and I got every option possible except the 4WAS. totally love everything about the car

You're talking about the steering wheel, right? Not sure what package it comes with, but basically, yes.

You can set it so that when you turn off the car the steering wheel moves forward to give you more room to get out.

When you start the car, the steering wheel comes back out.

That is only on the sedan. Not sure why the coupe wont do that

but it is cool that you can set the memory to the two different key fobs (or just push the buttons on the door) and the whole gauge cluster/steering wheel/seat will move to either setting

They figure if you own a coupe your young and can squeeze out easy enough

Hope the 2011 gets more power? Any news of them 2011's? Or maybe just cut like 500lbs HA HA!

Thanks for correcting me on that. I have a sedan (obviously) and assumed that the coupe would have that as well.

It is strange that the coupe doesn't have this option.....

yeah I think that is the only thing that I wish I had, other than that I'm totally satisfied with my G but that seems like an odd thing to leave out

I really like the G37, just wish It was a lil quicker or just slimmer. Would you guys say your happy with yours??
i just made the switch from the 335i to a g37 and i absolutely love it. With a few bolt ons on my g i am extremely impressed with vehicle.

I am just going by gut feeling, but I think the 2011 won't have any major changes, although again by pure gut feeling (which since I had chili today is a lot of gut feeling...) the changes from a 2010 to a 2011 might be slightly more then from 2009 to 2010. So...I'd assume no, not more power for 2011 or if there is it's not signifigant.

2012, IMO will be the next generation. Again mostly my chili gut telling me this though, not based on anything I've heard.

2011 I THINK (but someone correct me if wrong) will introduce the G25, it has (obviously) a lower powered 2.5 litre engine, I think the idea is to have a lower priced alternative, the G37's will of course still exist.

PURE guess, even less worth then a gut feeling (which isn't worth a lot...) is that that they might do something like a G25, then a G25 hybred...that is again pure guess from me, I have no way to even pretend to validate that idea. But if they do I'd expect that to be more 2012 also.
