I still think the G looks better. I have an M and I picked it over a 3 series BMW for the interior (and b/c I got a pretty good deal on it).

If you for some reason decide to buy a >06 BMW, the warranty is great. Everything covered up until 50K miles - so all you pay for is gas and tires! I don't think you get that standard with older models. But then again, the new 3 series IMO are way overpriced, especially the coupes. In any case, I would still pick an 04-06 G35 over the <06 3 series.

actually the black interior for G35 is MUCH nicer...

The coupes are much sexier than any 3 series. Costs less with more features, much more reliable. loads of power. did I mention sexy?

Posting professionally retouched photos with volumetric lighting is cheating!!

I like the audi, I'm still unimpressed by the G35.

The best remains the A4 quattro... excellent under any conditions (espacially the bad weather and snow u describe)... safe on roads and a car that responds... only my view after all


I sold for the audi style and Quattro..picked a Audi A4 1.8T yday!

Cheers

Ahhh... Excellent news :)

The 1.8T has already done the proof to be an excellent engine... of course, combined with the Quattro u will enjoy ;)

I can see that u have the Xenon option on it... What are the other features? Do u have a manual gear box? :)

There is an R8 parked about one hundred yards from my office this week.

It is a terrifying car - it seems to attract people with camera phones (sure - it is a car show, but why take a picture?!).

The thing is, for £85k, you would buy a porsche or an Aston, or a Maserati - wouldn't you?

Nope... It's an A8 for me ;)... Even if, for a similar price to the R8, it's an S8 that could be afforded :)

Agreed Aston or this one (BMW Concept CS - once it is officially available) :P

If I recall, didn't the Toyota Tercel become the best selling car in the world some years ago?
