[quote=AN]I subscribe to C&D and it is pretty well known that they prefer BMW. If you read the comparison carefully, you’ll see the 328 is much slower but it win because it gets better fuel economy.[/quote]

I wouldn’t say it’s much slower – I’d bet the 328i has a higher top speed and DOES have better handling.

Sure, 0-60 the G37 is faster (straight line) – in the twists I’d bet that power advantage rapidly disappears.

While my car was in the shop (due bill’s, not a breakdown) I had a 328i and it would churp in 2nd gear.

A 328i is definitely not slow.

Anyway, back to the review (328i vs. G37):

The fuel economy was the only “performance” category the 328i won. But that’s not why it won.

It won for a number of reasons: handling, it’s near perfect balance and many other reasons.

But there is one very special thing that the 328i/335 and other BMW’s have that the G37 does not: the magic of Double-VANOS.
