g37s vs 335i
if you love the 335 so much go ahead and pay 15-20k more for a COMPARABLE car with less aesthetics and minutely more power...
dont get me wrong both are great cars and i respect the 335 a lot. but there's no point in trying to justify the cost difference for two cars that are so similar

I already purchased 335i. It all comes down to price if you purchase NEW.....G wins in price department....
I was looking at used G37S and used 335i...and 335i was cheaper.
and to the above post: used Porsche 911 4S > G37 + 20k mods
and 335i + 700 bucks > M3
Who in a right mind would spend 20k on mods and void 100% of warranty.....unless you have rich parents and 16 years old. The only reason I decided to get the tune for my 335i was simple because it was dirt cheap ($160 bucks)

and if you are going to spend 20K or any significant amount of $$ on modding, the warranty is not something to be worried about
I hate BMW b/c it's a status symbol for 99% of the people that own them and that's it.
I dont hate BMW i would love to own an e92 M3. Its just fanboys that come on here compare a TT bmw to a a stock NA v6. I mean comon the NA infiniti v6 does compete with the 335i in certain departments but of course having turbos from factory will give that car the certain edge. Lets TT the G then we will talk.

Why did I buy BMW ? For status ? I wanted G35 Coupe, and then test drove M3, I wanted G37S and then test drove 335i..........the winners were pretty clear to me. Road feel, handling, steering, power, amazing torque.........its the whole package

and about the 20K in mods.........Probably if you are a real car fanatic and do some VERY tasteful mods and over time end up spending 20k........I suppose thats ok......
I live and lets say hang out in a different community. If I tell any of my friends that i invested in real estate, they will say good for you, and if I say I spent even 2-3k for car mods........they will look at me like i am stupid.
I have friends with money and I have friends with taste, they dont mod, they buy expensive cars.......SL55, E92 M3, RS4........etc....

and SEVERAL sounds a bit funny, in 335i community every other member has either stage 2 or stage 3. Stage 3 being faster then E92 M3 and cost only like 700 bucks vs 10K for a G37 TT kit that will kill every living part in the car if they are not upgraded. < but thats not even important

ps. it was the same with Stage 1 A4 (about 280 tq), big *** kick at 2.8k rpms and after that torque is linear.....never had to redline the car.....on most highway merges and stop lights when i needed power (not race) just rev up to 3-4k and everyone is behind you.....the big disappointment here was that after about 4k i wanted more power but it was never there......with 335i power is EVERYWHERE.
Don't know why you make it such a big deal. Rev the G 1k higher. It makes the same power. It does have a higher redline for a REASON.
I suppose you'd hate real race engines, even high displacement ones. They make jack squat for power at the low end. Ever heard of cams?

I meant they dont come stock with TT, and reliability will drop dramaticly
Actually no......
When I drove G37S, I had to push the car to about 5k+ RPMs to get good acceleration, with 335i I only have to rev the car to 3-4K and it takes off hard.
Having torque at upper RPM range its like not having it until you reach that 5.2k mark, and when it comes at 1.4k, you have that torque almost 100% of the time when you drive. In new 335 its even lower at 1.2K
these are different cars but but he does talk about what i said above

Your butt dyno is severely flawed. You go by feel, I go by empirical evidence. Go to school, learn about cars, get some actual experience, and then come back and we'll have a discussion.
