So for $15,850 more you get 53BHP and -8TQ
Now, im not arguing that the M3 ISNT a better car, but your comparing a $50,000 car to a $35,000 car. What are we gonna do next, compare your M3 to a NSX? Porsche? A civic to an S2000? we all know the heritage an performance an "M" car has, but what does it have to do with this thread?
My GFs $20,000 INTEGRA TYPE-R walks all over E36 M3s at road atlanta, you wanna argue a $20,000 vs a $30,000 car? i mean, every car has its postivies an negatvies.
come on man, this argument is retarded. All it was was someone posting about the new infiniti car, and you had to make some negative ass comment about how "BMWs come in enclosed trailors an are more luxry cars" blahblahblah.
who the FUCK CARES.
Infiniti IMO is GEARED towards a different crowd. For $35000 the G35 is a great deal, look at its interior, handling, power, style, etc. it looks just as good as an M3 IMO for less money.
