FWIW, I drive every other day in a G, and it was on my short list as was the 300 SRT8. I think the point AN misses is that yes a G37 might perform better, but performance numbers don’t tell the whole story.
It’s the total package IMO that must be considered.
The BMW 3.0 engine is the best non exotic 6 in the world, period. The handling and feel of a BMW is unmatched by Infiniti or Lexus.
I really like the G37 Limited Edition Sedan, but I think that is 50k plus.
When I was considering the G and the SRT8, I just kept thinking why not just own the best? BMW Baby!
It is likely that a 328 will have less maintenance issues than a 335, and the one I got is pretty basic – the only option was the sport transmission.
Most importantly, I hope to pass on the 328 to my son one day, and I thought the 335 would be a little much for an inexperienced driver.
For the last 4 years I’ve been driving a beat up old Saturn (no heat or AC), so a 328 is big step up.
I’m actually considering a X5 for my wife in a year or two, I guess I am a BMW fanboi.
