i personaly love the is-f...my boy has it in white and its hot, the only downfall about the is-f and the room inside is a tight fit but i love the paddle shifters and the blue lights on the inside if i was to get it i would get it in blue because the blue is so sexy...my other boy has the mercedes and itz also a hot car but has alot of buttons like a spaceship.....when it comes to the bimmer i dont care for bimmers i used to live in germany when i was in the airforce and i just seen so many of them and to me they are whack because the outside my look nice but the inside looks like crap...but if you want a high end car and want to be exlusive i would say to look at the audi a5 or s5 but like you said its your money....lol

G37s - $37k (easy to remember), 3.7L (Nissan must like the numbers 3 and 7) n/a, 330 HP, 270 TQ (dry-lube coated skirt on pistons), 6-speed, RWD, 17 / 25 MPG

335i - - $42k, 3.0L turbo, 300 HP, 300 TQ, 6-speed, RWD, 17 / 26 MPG

Tell me why the 335i is better? The G is cheaper, has a bigger engine and gets the same mileage. Plus, you can always add a turbo, the 335 can only upgrade. Also, 370Z engine mods can fit the G, dropping customization cost substantially. Just a note, the G has an 11:1 compression ratio, so you may need to swap pistons before going turbo. it's the same block though as the 350, just with a longer stroke and higher c/r, so G35 / 350Z bearings, cams, etc may still work as well.

Power doesnt make a car, and some people just want the "BMW" factor. With that said, id take a g37 any day

well even people on the g37 forums admit that the bmw is a faster car, but the downside is the maintencce and the problems with them..

id like to get a 335i but i dont like the interior

G37 is pure sex. I test drove one when I was looking into getting one, That thing hauled some serious @$$. I wouldn't get any cars from that list. the closest thing to those cars that I would get would be an M5. Same motor as the M6. Same power. 4 doors. more practical. Doesn't look like it has down syndrome. and cheaper. Go figure. Thats just me tho.

Recession times: People losing their jobs, homes, credit scores, and cars.

Being only 19. NOT ALL jobs are safe at this time! I'll put money on the bet, if you sneezed the wrong way ONE TIME at your current employer; you're gone.

If that happens: Guess what? You have this house and this 60k loan car without income. You're basically F**ked.

This is my reality two cents.....

Last year, I was in a f**ked up problem and this month is the first month I've been able to live for myself.

I have driven an e63 amg a c class amg nd an ISF when I worked at a lexus dealer over the summer nd when my friend bought his e63. the c lass interior does suck. I love the 6 series but its a huge car so if ur gonna get it make sure u drive it nd try to park it so u can realize how big it really is. but its still a great car. the ISF is a fun car i got 2 drive 1 20 miles right from the factory nd almost ____ myself. I wouldnt drive it every day tho cus the suspension is stiffer than nethin i ever been in nd its not very well rounded. the c class is not nearly as nice as the ISF and M6 so if u wer goin MERC Id def go for the e63. great car nd hands down the best ive driven.
