Which one would you choose?

As far as I know, BMW's are very costly with maintenance especially when there is no more warranty...Also, I hear their run-flat tires are bogus.
With respect to the G35, I havent heard of any major problems, other than the fact that their tires and brakes tend to burn out very quick.

Any input or past experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thx.

Both are beautifull cars man. I would be lucky to own either one to tell you the truth.

I have friends that have BMWs and I have yet to hear a complaint about them other than the cost of visiting the dealer. I have driven 10 year old 325s that feel better than a lot of new cars.

I think the Infinity might offer a little more driving excitement with a sportier flare. I have loved the G35 coupes looks since they came out although I have never driven one.

I think it depends what you are looking for. BMW tends to be a little more classy but niether car is lacking in either of those categories.

Good luck, hard choice IMO. I think I would go for the G35.

I know the older model BMW's are fairly durable vs. the newer models. I've been told that BMW has a lot of issues with quality now considering some of their models such as the X5 and X3 are built in N. America...Apparently a few BMW models share GM parts? Not too sure about the 3 series though.

I've driven the 3 series before, pretty much a solid ride, very classy, and of course, you'd be carrying the name BMW. I haven't driven the G35 yet, but I can imagine the drive is gonna be awesome, and BTW, its a very sexy car.
I've been trying to find a pearl white w/ a black interior, but can't seem to find them anywhere...Any idea if they even make them in that colour combination?

I like them both.... I suggest that when you're ready, drive them both. But I recommend you to drive the new ones first before purchasing the used one, just to know how they feel compared to the used.

If I have to choose one and it was for free..... I'd go with the G35 coupe, just because it's build in Japan.
