G35 vs. BMW

Hi,

I tried searching to find my answer but was not successful. I am having a hard time deciding between purchasing a G35 or some type of BMW coupe, particularly the 330ci. I had initially planned on purchasing a 135i but will not be able to afford it for a few years so I have been looking at purchasing a car for under 34k. What do you think about the G35 as substitute? Thank you!

You might try this thread to see if there is info in it that may be useful: http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2246

Since you specifically mention the G35 (and not the G37 also) I'll leave this thread open for the time being.

You really need to find appropriate examples of each car and take them for a test drive. Both are great cars that should bring years of driving pleasure. It will all come down, with used cars, to the particular examples you are able to source.

Thanks for the response. I was thinking in particular: either the G35 or 330ci or M3.

what years though?

330ci might be your best bet. The M3 is not exactly your ideal daily driver. And the G35 is dated especially if your looking at older ones.

Yea, that it was I have been told about the M3. So that one is most likely out. I was looking at a 03-05 330ci and at the 05-06 G35.

I would actaully love to buy a 335i and have been searching for awhile. The thing is that it is too expensive for me to afford now, found one for about 38k. But can buy a good used g35 for about 25k or 330ci.....OR possibly a good 328i coupe 07 but still probably over 36k
