| G35 or 325CI
So.. I am planning to buy my first car around the end of September.
Long ways away from now but i would like some opinions on both these cars.
I have narrowed my chioices from a Evo to an A4 and came to a conclusion that i want either a G35 or 325CI both coupe.
My budget is around 20-40g.
I still haven't decided what year for both but I was thinking about 06 for G35 and 05 for 325CI.
Err, I hope this this right section, if not could someone move it.

can't deny the beemer quality.. but the infiniti is also about the luxury and its also got the bigger engine compared to a 325
my personal preference would be the g35, simply because its a beautiful car bone-stock, its sexy exhaust note, appealing interior and a satisfyingly powerful car by itself

if maintenance costs are a concern, the G35 would be a better choice.

dude, drive both and im confident that you'll pick the g35. 287hp > 184 lol
they're both fine if you're just cruising around but if you're looking to do any sort of spirited driving, then the 325 won't get you anywhere. and imo, the e46 doesn't look good unless it's an m3. and like shanghai kid said, the g35's exhaust note is so sexy. whereas the 325 pretty much has no exhaust note lol

Lmao.. Mugen EvOlutioN, maybe I'm not into the power but the luxury. :P

the G coupe definitely has a nice curves from every angle bone stock espeically with the sport package deck lid wing. better than the 3 series imo, exhaust note is good. The back room is fairly roomy, not sure about the 3

What year did they stop making the G35? 2007?
Automatic or Manual btw.
Wow, every year they just keep slapping on HP on the G35 lmao.
Hmmm I am leaning towards the G35 so far but lets take aside the engine from both cars which car would you desire then?

still the g35. if the 325 doesn't come with the m-sport package then it's ugly as hell. and even if it does, it still doesn't look as good as the g35 with sport package. 
facelifted 330ci with m-performance package. looks the same as 325ci with msport except for the bigger wheels. 
g35c with sport package.
i've sat in the back of a 330ci before. not much room, but very similar to a g35.

If this is a car that you will keep for only 3-5 years and have plans to upgrade in 3-5 years..
G35!
But you will not regret the handling of the 325Ci, although it is a little bit under-powered and 325Ci maintenance is also much higher.
Get the G35, save for a few more years, and go for the 335i! (or the new F30 based 335/340/3xx)

325i interior space reminds me of a corolla, and is almost as slow as one too haha. I drove my bro's 05 325i a few times. Car is pretty lame, i would never buy one, g35 interior feels a bit cheap with all the plastic, and center console design leaves much to be desired. Having said that, if i were to choose, g35 would still be a winner.

HP isnt everything, but it is something when u are tryin to merge or spirit drive once inawhile and the car isnt going anywhere.
i really cant see myself driving in a car that weighs 1550kg roughly with only 184hp. The G35 on the hand has decent torque, auto or manual doesnt matter, the center dash is filled with lots of silver plastic, earlier gen has no silver trim. G37 on the other hand the interior is night and day difference vs the the 35. U mentioned ur budget is around $40g max? maybe u might be able to find a used 37 for around $45g ? i dunno

I was thinking about the G37 but I rather not spent like 40+ for my first car.
I was thinking about the 350z as well but it doesn't look as good as a G35 in my eyes.
I was going to get an IS250 or Audi A4 2009 model before but i didn't want to buy a new car since i doubt i would be able to pay for the insurance and shit since i'm still attending school.

Both of their interiors look like crap, but G35 wins with that sexy exhaust note.

but i doubt you will find a 37 in your price range

BMW overprices everything.... my buddy's 335i coupe just had a service done to it; bill was around 200 before taxes... For your moneys worth i'd rather get a G35.
