I wished I had your income. =(

My choices are, "Hmm..fill up my gas tank or ride BART." LOL

My vote still stands for the BMW. To most normal people, a BMW's a BMW. Most people don't care where it stands in the BMW food chain. If you like that car more, then go for it.

 

BMW hands down.

 

Get 50 guns instead... Rifles and pistols! Or get 40 guns and a TON OF AMMO!

 

Except you aren't in the same boat as him. The OP is moving up in the world and getting rid of the suby for a more mature car

 

Watch out with BMW's "free maintenance". My parents had that sh*t and the f**kiing dealership didn't EVER change the transmission fluid at the regular 30K or 60K mile services. Needless to say, the tranny failed at 83K and was $3600 to replace. They claimed that it doesn't need to be changed unless the tranny fluid light comes on. cough...bullsh*t...cough....

Oh, and the dealership wanted ~$5000 to replace the tranny.

 

I got to peep the 1 series the other day. Clean car.

 

bwhahaha, tempting. maybe if land of the dead came true.

where at la auto show?

 

that's crazy. Yea i heard some crazy stuff about the maintenance like how they change your oil only once 8000 miles or something. i'm gonna have to look into that a little more.

 

G37 all the way..but i might be biased since i'm in sales @ Infiniti Marin.

so hows my price predictions for the OTD price on the G, close or way off?

 

We have one at school.

 

I just had a customer trade in his beemer recently because after his complimentary 50k maintenence ended his very next service was over a $3,000bill. You do the math!

Also your $$$ assumption seems like your in the right neighborhood. Feel free to look me up if you actually go the Infiniti direction. Or maybe you have friends / family / i-clubbers in the market for an Infiniti. I'll hook them up!

Cheers,

i'd say lease the bimmer. no worries about paying for maintenance. the lease will be over before the warranty is over and most likely you'll be ready to move on to another car by that time.

 

I forget, was either BMW or Porsche that had 15k oil change intervals! o_0

 

I'm not sure about Porsche's intervals, but BMW is about 15k. Most enthusiests will change it more frequently.
