First of all the hp is 330. The two different plates on the car is from the dealership I leased the car from (back) and the dealer who put my front plate on for CA (front). We already have a 335i convertible, and the Infiniti seems much more advanced than that terrible Idrive.

I have to agree. I actually think the previous body style looked better. The subtle changes took some of its character away. I drove a G35 and was not really impressed with the interior or overall feel of the car.

When I see the new one from this angle it always reminds me of a Hyundai Tiburon. Especially if you look at the front fender and overhang. It has a much more feminine look than the old model. No offense.

Why'd you make me look at that?
So the front part of the car is from CA and the rear is from NV...

Actually, I thought the stealer's ad was interesting. Their "Qualified Service Department" is showing off that they can replace license holders...

That's not an upgrade...

It's a very nice car but the only reason to buy it over a 335i is to $ave.

Edit: Now I see that you also have an E93. Thoughts on the two?

This is what I can gather.

G37: heavier, slower, more cramped, cheaper interior, louder exhaust note, worse gas mileage, less expensive

335i: lighter, more rewarding, more refined, quicker, more efficient, more luxurious, more practical, more expensive

You get what you pay for.

We can't ignore the generally superior navigation and interfaces offered by Honda/Acura, Lexus, and Infiniti. I am an iDrive hater. It would be considered great if touch screens hadn't been invented yet.

Enjoy the new ride. I haven't heard one yet but I hope the exhaust sounds better than the old G35. Those sound like OEM fart can exhausts.

I feel like I am being attacked. I actually enjoy the Infiniti much more than the 335i for a few reasons. First of all, the one we have is being lemoned because the seals on the convertible do not do their job, and water is always leaking through the roof. The car has spent more than 2 1/2 months in the shop. Currently, water still leaks through, there is a brake squealing issue, and the driver's side door does not shut properly unless slammed shut, because the dealer could not properly replace the seals. The tire pressure monitoring system is always going off, even though the tire pressures are checked reguraly. The gas mileage was much worse on the 335i. Currently at 800 miles, I am averaging 20 mpg, while the 335i averages 17 mpg. The seating is much better in the Infiniti, as I can make more adjustments to the seat. Plus the Infiniti is a 6mt, which is difficult to find in a 335i without ordering it. This is an upgrade from the X5 which only had 225 hp and weighed 6000 lbs.
