Not too sure about the rear but that interior is much much more superior than the 3 series Coupe, A5 or Merc coupe. The seats are lekker too. However this car was torn to pieces when it was pitted against it's german rivals on the track. It's a great car anyway and shows that the Germans have got to hike their level a notch up or else they will start to play catch up. Nice one Nissan.

This car is better than the 3-series. It has Japanese reliability, rear wheel steering, and it out performes every 3 series except for the 335i on the 0-60, and thats only because it has a twin turbo. But infinity out handles it. And by the way, everytime they compare the 335 and the g37, the 335 always malfunctions when it overheats. The g37 will never overheat and it costs well under $10k less. I think its a no brainer to choose it over the overpriced german car that breaks down. Many people say that the g37 out handles the 3-series. wow and infinity didnt even have to put the battery in the trunk to do it......

You Damn right! Indeed the G37is a car for America, cause we ain't got no PIG TRAILS like you all in Europe. We have Expressways and beautiful routes, like Route 66 and so many highways. Besides, those German cars are overpriced and underpowered.

Ahahaha pig trails....Europe has some of the best roads in the world and also the most technologically advanced roads. As for beauty it's very evident you have never been to Europe, i have only been to Germany and Romania and i can say i have seen roads that are unlike any roads in North America. For example the trans-fagarasan in Romania that goes over the mountains and that's 2.8km up, when you reach the top you are driving above the clouds, truly an amazing sight both going up and coming down that road. I recommend you watch the top gear episode where they search for the most beautiful roads in Europe.

Yeah if you put this agains the 335 coupe it will get destroyed, but if you put it up against the equivalent priced coupe which would be like a 320 it would win. I personally love the way the G35 and G37 sound exhaust note wise. But the problem here in canada is there are too many people with this car, it has lost its specialness.

sebastianmejia17 those "pig trails" are exactly the reason why european cars are better than american.Cars are meant to turn not just go straight, something americans tend to forget.And if you think you have beautiful routes, i guess you haven't been to europe...

Top Gear searching for the best European roads is one of the best tv montage, ever. Transfagarasean is a true beauty. Though, back on subject, the Renault-Infinity combination is a great compliment to BMW as to increase competition, get BMW to put out even greater cars... if such thing is possible (335i is as close to perfection as anything).

BMW could very well learn from Nissan/Infiniti (350Z/G37) offering a limited slip diff. Then the 330i/335i would be even closer to perfection, with the plus of bearing the legendary inline 6 vs M3's V8.

It always has to be the rest versus BMW. Agreed they set the standards and the one thing other car makers fail to understand is that the more they target BMW, the more they help BMW just become stronger. By the way, the Nissan 350Z is way inferior to the 335i BMW. The G37 Infiniti was also humiliated by the 335i. In South Africa at the reef, the 335i BMW was tested against the M3 V8 and the RS4. The 335i on a quater mile dash was quicker than the two and around a race track it was slightly behind the M3 but ahead of the RS4. This test was by the Star Motoring and Top Gear. So the question is do you still think the 350Z and G37 better Nissans better than the 335i BMW?

When you buy a BMW what you look for is, above all, sheer driving pleasure, as their ad slogan states, not cold fast laps around the track. It is a pity that mediocre endurance braking (M3/335i), lack of lsd (335i), intrusive break assist system when cornering (135i/335i), understeer (135i) among others easily remediable details, prevent them from being flawless. From this perspective, my ideal Bimmer would be a 330i CoupÃ© (better exhaust note than 335i) with sport suspension, LSD and Porsche Cayman's brakes and steering.

The interior looks good from the photos but I can already imagine it will feel plastic once sat inside, just like the 350Z. European makes the best quality cars, I guess Infiniti taking on the euros is a bit like Lexus taking on the euros....theres always and always will have a gap.

BMW is about fast laps and hang on to your pants feel when you hit the corners. BMW certainly does not have oversteer and understeer extreme problems as suggested, certainly the ones you tested were ones from China. Yes any car will lose the grip on brakes if you brake hard unless you have ceramic brakes (and very few cars have - too expensive), oversteer is certainly not part of BMW and a jibe aimed at the M3 certainly doesn't do you any good as this car by most peoples eyes was very close to being the car of the decade (M3 E90). What do you suggest they mean by sheer driving pleasure? certainly not the lazy comfy dip and rise feel of the Merc (puts you to sleep). Shher driviing pleasuer is all about adrenalin.

If I wanted adrenalin at the track, then a lighter M3 (CSL?) with improved brakes (not necessarily ceramic, look at Porsche's regular brakes, theyre light years ahead anyway) or a 997 GT3 would do the job. The rest of the BMW 1 to 5 ranges (non-M) are better suited for adrenalin surges on open twisty roads and, no, the 135i I drove in France wasn't "made in China" plus I never mentioned extreme under or oversteer, but it understeers noticeably more than the 335iA CoupÃ© I had tested a few months earlier. And the fact that the brake assist gayness prevents you from swinging/positioning the car's rear on slow and medium speed corners feels somewhat castrating. There should be the option to totally disconnect it when you turn DSC off.
