will it's not right to post this in bmw or g35 forum i need some fair comparsion suggestion, so i decide to post here. need help from my fellow R owner

as some of you guys know my itr was stolen 2003 dec, i bought bmw 330i as a replacement, but now i'm thinking to buy a 05 G35. i'm really confused if i should trade in 330i for G35 or not.

2005 G35 coupe come with 298hp/260 torque while 330i has 225/215, but somehow both car are pretty much the same 0-60 or 1/4.

here is what i think about 330i, nice, quiet, lots torque at 3k rpm(my butts telling it's pulling hard than G35) and after all it's a bmw, build quality is just so nice.
bad side, the new e90 is coming out so e46 will look out-dated, you dont really get the sports feel in 330 you can barely hear the engine, i have one more year till the warranty done, the parts cost so much i cant really mod the car plus repair will cost my leg. so far the car does give some small problems but under warranty, it's fine with me cant image without warranty.

2005 G35 car looks fine, rides on 19" rim from factory, navigation. just as luxury as bmw, parts cost so little i can even afford greddy twin turbo kit, car is sporty kinda remind me the old days with my R.
bad side may be i get use to bmw, so i do feel the car is noisy(i did i ever lived with my R) accelerate does not feel faster than 330i. interior is good but somehow just feel a bit cheap compare to 330.

what do you guys think ? should i keep 330 or get G35

as an R owner what would you choose ?

ITR.

But really, I think both cars made the Car and Driver top ten list?

BMW's are known for their track abilities, I'd probably go that route. For the wife or for a highway cruiser, I'd look at the G35 4-door more.

[Edit, should I say IBTL or would that curse it? ]

I'll take anything before a Nissan.... Even a nazijigsawpuzzle.

good luck on your decision, I know It would be hard for me.

Fair Comparision here? ha. Sorry, but it won't happen. Too many jackknobs would think the ITR is better than everything ever created. including sliced bread.

I'd take the g35.

Your decision. Personally, I wouldn't mind a G35 over a 3 series.

And the E46 will not look "outdated". It'll still look better than the clusterfucked/Bangle'd mess that's replacing the current 3 series. I still want to take a huge dump on the hoods of current 5 series, 7 series and Z4s. Bleargh.

I'd go for the G35 personally. Cheaper parts, and I like the looks better.

Keep the 330i or pick up a 330i with perfomance package. (performance package = tighter suspension + 15+hp in power.)

As nice as the V6 is in G35, nothing beats BMW I-6 in refinement and throttle response.

E46 BMW &gt; G35/350Z in my eyes.

sorta sounds like you're leaning towards the g35

i'd go with that. and once you TT it you won't complain about it feeling like the bimma.

get the g35..or better yet, get another ITR

Cosworth are u sure the throttle response is better than the ITR? if so, i am going to go testdrive one for ***** and giggles.
