I might buy this car depending on the release date of the 08 535i.
I'd save and get a bimmer first or the new A4 (late fall intro).

The 5 series is what I really want. Plus the 5 series is the only car I like(besides the g35) that's under 50k, which is what I can afford right now. Anyways, I'm willing to wait until April but if news comes out that the 08 5 series won't be out until May, June, etc.. I'm going to get the G35. I can get myself the current model, but I want the updated 535.

g35 is a nice car, but isnt a BMW. go with the 535 and PROcede it. i would trade my car in a second to get a 535, but i have no $$. most of the time, ppl who buy infiniti are worried BMW's reliability. these ppl are known as p*ssies.

What a comments about non BMW brands, let me tell you that not a long time ago I had my e60 and totaled it due to a flat non run flat tire at 120MPH. After looking for a replacement I ended up getting left over 330i with most goodies, car is fine but I feel so cramped in there that sometimes I just want to get out of that claustrophobic cabin si I gave it to my wife. E60 is out of question for me and you know why, so I ended up getting my self 07 G35s with manual tranny standard LSD and comfort access. Let me tell you that car can move it's as quick as 335i in real world, interior is much nicer compare to the old G and it's more refined as well but still give you that raw feel that none of current 3 or 5 offer. Calling g owners pussies was very funny comment the same as you hear some idiots saying having BMW is gay . All I can say is I dont miss my e60 a bit now infact I was getting bored with it shortly before accident happened.
For next couple of years I'll wait for upcomming 5 till then I'll enjoy my G35, and I was sceptical about that car as most on this board but not anymore.
FYI Maxima is FWD while G is RWD and most of you know it.

I dig the 3 series and would say its the best looking car in its class, at least till the new A4 comes out. I really like the 3 coupe, but its way too small. Sat in that car a bunch of times and it just won't work. Even tried kidding myself with no luck.
The G35 has more room and feels more spacious. So good choice here. As for the Maxima, I've said it before, its horribly ugly and looks like a Salmon that just spawned left dying in the stream. Only eclipsed by the dreadful Pontiac Aztec!!!
CVT Benhogan :>P

Engine wise, you're really comparing a TT i6 to a NA v6. I used to like NA engines, but I think TT technology is making leaps and bounds toward efficiency compared to NA engines. Performance wise (tranny, suspension, handling, etc), I think BMW is superior out of the box; hence, you pay alittle more. Material and craftmanship, I think this is too subjective to compare.
