+ Coilovers, Wheels, alignment, corner-balancing etc and you're still saving money over the 335.

personally if I were a BMW driver, I'd just skip all the clutter of 330s and 335s and save up for the M3.
id love to get the M3 but they are too pricey for me. Im gonna put a downpayment down of like 10,000 and my parents are going to make payments on the car just like they do on my bimmer now and the payments for the M wud be too pricey

aww where's the love. I initially started the chain of B*tch slapping... j/k.



but yeah I mean if you don't know why the Sport package is worth it. you don't know what makes performance cars good .. You don't care about the performance. you might as well have just gotten an accord.

at the end of the day 1800 bucks for everything you're getting is a steal. you can't even buy wheels and tires for that money anymore.

I would like to continue the chain of b**** slapping....you don't find brakes like the upgraded G37s on cars in this price range. The sport seat is way better (unless your fat like me, but I'm used to it now ). Hell, if you want to look at it economically, buy yourself some aftermarket wheels, since you say you're going to anyway (which won't be $1800, i'm sure) and sell the stockers with tires for $1200 and your sport package just cost you $600.

so i test drove a 2010 g37S journey coupe today and that thing is pretty quick. How does the 2010 G differ from an 08? Also, do all S Gs come with paddles?

If your basing you choice on potential HP then you are better off looking elsewhere. Honestly neither has great potential without spending alot of money. However I love the G and it is a great daily driver with just enough power.

If you need people on the internet to convince you which car to buy, you are either 1. Not serious about buying either car and live in a fantasy world or 2. Have no common sense to just go test drive both and make the decision on your own, whether it be logical or emotional.

Good luck kid.
