well my lease ended so i had to turn it in and the 335 just didnt do it for me. it was lacking in performance compaired to the M3 but didnt give me anything over it. The g while lacking in performance gave me gadgets galore. I will be going back to BMW once the new M3 arrives. I am planning on picking one up for a daily driver and going crazy with the G

That was a nice color. A lot of people knocked on the Caribbean blue for G35, but I didn't care. I loved that color and the attention it would get day & night. And I love the fact that I could spot my car in the parking lot from a mile away.

The only color I didn't like for the M3 was that crazy gold.

Isn't the 335i a little bi tquicker than the e46 M3? Or are you comparing from an overall standpoint?

The M3 is crazy. I can't believe how high the redline is on that car.

i test drove the 335 and it felt quick but nothing like the m3......ive always driven bmw's with an 5 series as my first then a e36 m3 then a e46 m3 and loved them all however i thought the styling wasnt sharp enough and well the g37 just caught my eye when i first saw it and thought of it as a chance to give japan a shot.....ive always admiredhow japanese cars can be modded without spending a fortune like on the m3 homepfully that happens to the g37 to....and for bimmers the only cars from them i like are the m series for when i wanna feel like michael schumakker

I'm guessing that it won't fit since most BMW's bolt pattern is 5x120 and G37 is 5x114.3 or something. BTW what is the rator size on your Brembo BBK? Is it bigger than 14" and how many pucks?

thats always been my deciding factory I loved the e46 and I like the 335i but I am and always will be a mod at heart and the cost for something as simple as I/H/E on a e46 was amazing to me unless you go with cheap unproven no names.

I agree the 335 just left me wanting so much more. I was hoping for a step up from my M3 and it just was not...

I love those wheels on your S2K. Those are BBS right? I wanted to put those on my G35. What front end is that?

i always wanted to get a s2k and gut it and use it solely for the track.....hopefully in a few years i can start the process.

and i have red Brembo 6pot BBK front with 14" cross drilled rotors. i was going to purchase the rears when i was getting ready install but never got around to it and sold the car.

yes BBS RG-R's in Diamond Black. Personally on a G i would do the RS-GT which is the multi piece version of that rim. the reason i went with the single piece was the fact I tracked the car a lot. The front is the Mugen full CF SS

Yea, I was actually looking at the multi piece ones. A member on g35driver was selling them. They were still pretty pricey for being used, but I really liked them. I'm not a big wheel guy myself, plus I never took my G35 to the track, so I just bought a set of Racing Hart C4 multi piece.
