My friend have a 2008 335i. it only has around 3000 miles. We got into a little contest with a white G37 and it was pretty even. From around 40 to all the way to 130.
He was in front of us like 1 car length and he hits the gas first, as soon as we heard his exhaust, my friend floored, and all the time race stayed equal. No 1 gained

OK guys... let's not become "fanboys" like those on the BMW forums. The bottom line is the 335i is faster than the G37s. Here are the numbers from the Motor Trend comparison... same day, same track...
1/4 mile:
G37s - 14s at 100.9mph
335i - 13.7 at 104mph
0 to 100mph:
G37s - 13.9s
335i - 12.7s
Bottom line is the 335i is .3 seconds faster in the 1/4 mile (and also in the 0-60) and that is probably most of a car length. At the 1/4 mile the BMW is pulling ahead more (higher speed). The 1.2s difference to 100mph is significant.
Why does this matter anyway?? The G37s is FAST. So what if the 335i is faster (and it is unless the 335i driver is an idiot)? The G is every bit as good of a car overall for WAY less money. I would take the G over the 335i anyday even if I lose a stop light to stop light sprint (not that I would ever take part in such an event
).
I owned a 328i and part of what I like about the Infiniti crowd is they are willing to admit when another car is better in certain ways. The BMW forums are populated by fanboys who would never admit the G37 even competes (but it DOES for sure). Let's not all come down with a case of "fanboy-itis" fever!
The G is GREAT and a wonderful car but it will see the 335i's tailpipes, stock for stock, every time.

335i is Faster
The fact is that 335i owners paid 8k extra for a turbo on a weak motor. Now the g37 v6 has more Hp and a little less torque with out a turbo. A new twin turbo kit from GTM costs roughly 8k, the price difference between the 335i and g37. It gets better people at 8psi the g37 twin turbo pumps put 549 rwhp and 502 rwtq and they say that they can get 600 rwhp +, they can tune it even more but that will require more $ of course.

Well i have driven the 335i, have to say they are very similar in speed , but the 335i is a tick quicker. Were i tell you it would be very tight is if both are roling, or on the highway. From a head start to quarter mile i see the 335i taking it. Though i find my g37 much funner to drive and value for price is much better. I am pretty sure though the G can take the S5 if both cars are rolling, not gonna say how i know, not supposed to 
. Anyways should be going to the tracks soon and will tell u how much i was able to do the quarter mile.
