Perhaps, but we'd all take the 330i anyway. It's more engaging to drive, the interior is better, it looks better, and it's a BMW.

I'd take the G35 over 330ci for better value and that 3.5 280hp engine. It's a hard decision for people who is really gonna pick between those two.

ppl in the bimmer forum claim that they have numerous kills of the g35 by the 330 which i thought was BS unless the driver in the g35 was a two year old

It's possible if the G35 is a sedan or a coupe with auto and the 330 is the Ci with manual trans.

g35

I had also entertained the thought of a G35-before a C32 ever came in to the picture! The Infinity was very powerful and handled really well. The hurdle I could NOT overcome was the cheap interior! AWFUL! I felt like I was in a Maxima instead of an Infinity automobile. It's easy to see where the engineers spent the money and where they skimped to have such an alluring price tag.

The C32 did not come with a spare tire in 2002. I purchased a AMG dual spoke wheel and tire to go with it for around $500 from tirerack.com.

Uhh we BMW guys do admit that the C32 is faster, and we have been for quite some time now... Don't jump to conclusions because you see one person who can't believe the C32 is faster...

shahin: What's that supposed to mean? You saying BMW drivers are all immature?

you won't find c32 vs m3 thread on the bimmerforums because doesn't matter who won the race the thread will turn into a ultimate FLAMING thread. People know better not to start a brand image war. On the other hand, you would see them on MB board because we don't flame each other as much or flame BMW as much.

as a previous 2000 328Ci owner and now C32. I love all cars that are from both company. oh yeah, and love Audi too.
