Is it too late to say hi?
Is it too late to introduce myself after 250 posts? I never quite got around to doing it. :dunno::)
So anyway. I had a 2003 IP G35. I'd never heard of the car until I saw one in the garage at work in early 2003. I couldn't help but stare at the thing and knew I had to have one. I was finally almost a year out of my 10years college and 4 degrees and had money to get a real car. I'd had 3 Honda Civics prior to the G. Never had a single problem with any of them. I did the African delivery option https://www.fototime.com/E8268A97B1EBE78/orig.jpg The car was great and I hardly had any problems with it. I had a 39month lease and then bought the lease out at the end waiting for the G37's to come out. Infiniti dragged its feet too long with the release so I decided to jump ship over to BMW and get a white (Alpine white in BMW speak) 335 coupe. https://www.fototime.com/EE89662DD5B82FE/orig.jpg https://www.fototime.com/C46DDB3ECB6394D/orig.jpg I got it via European Delivery, which as far as I'm concerned is the only way to buy a car! Too bad Infiniti doesn't have Asian delivery. :) https://www.fototime.com/C0A673CB13025DB/orig.jpg Outside the delivery center. (now they have the BMW Welt, which is way more exciting!) https://www.fototime.com/D28B2EF8F8C87D6/orig.jpg You get a cool European licence plate while you are over there. Oddly, in talking to my German friend, they all want cool American plates. Go figure. https://www.fototime.com/F53794826EBC4F2/orig.jpg Since I got my US plates to match my Euro plates, I drove around with my Europlates on my car for a month until my US plates arrived. Never got pulled over for it https://www.fototime.com/E52D5BD1F689D96/orig.jpg https://www.fototime.com/794036B3EEFB2F3/orig.jpg In the airport in Munich they have a BMW wall that's pretty cool. It seems to be customary for everyone doing ED to get their picture taken in front of it. https://www.fototime.com/9390A68053F532A/orig.jpg So the BMW has been a great car, although admittedly I've had more problems with it service wise than I did with my Infiniti. The lease on my BMW is up in 2/09 and as I tend to get bored with things and want new and exciting things, I'm coming back to Inifinti for a G37S, in white of course. I've not heard if they make them in colors other than white or not, but I don't think they do. I'm thinking maybe a 3 year lease and then go back to Munich in 2012 to pick up another 3 series as that's the year they'll be redisigned. I always thought the G was a much sexier car than the BMW, but the G37 just pushes that even further! My dealer had an IP G37S sitting out front and all I could do was just sit there and stare at it. My BMW owning friend is sure his silver 330 sedan is better looking than the G. I told him we'd take then both down to the mall and ask the first 10-20 women that came out which one thy liked. I'm not sure his would even get a vote. :BOUNCE: I'm certainly not a fanboy for either brand, but can appreciate the advantages and shortcomings of each. They are both awesome cars! Anyway, so there's my story. Happy to be here. :hello::hello::hello: |

Official welcome to you and your posts have always been very fair regarding both brands. It's obvious you are not a fanboy, but just appreciate the finer things in life and research your choices wisely. :biggthumpup:
