If you want a gas hog, either one will do.
That's a tough one. It all depends upon what your preferences are. You go for the Infiniti if you value reliability and straight line performance. You go for the BMW if you value luxury and handling. The BMW also has the better resale value. They get the same gas mileage. Infiniti has 30 more horsepower (330 versus 300 for the BMW), while BMW offers a turbodiesel option with 425 pounds/feet of torque and 35 miles per gallon highway mileage, ten more than the Infiniti plus added reliability of a diesel.
And then there's price. The BMW starts at $42,000. The Infiniti starts at $34,900. Yeah, I think I'll take the savings from buying the Infiniti and buy myself a nice used mid-engine sportscar like a Toyota MR-2 Turbo or Pontiac Fiero GT to compensate for the slight loss of fun factor I'd have with the BMW's handling.
So, there's your answer. I'd go to Infiniti in this case, and buy the G37 Coupe. Of course, there are other cars in this price range as well, like the Ford Mustang GT, Dodge Challenger R/T, Hyundai Genesis Coupe V-6, Mazda RX-8, and Nissan 370Z. Load any of these cars up to the max, and they'll likely do a good impression of the Infiniti G37 for several thousand dollars less.
If you have any more questions about these, or any other cars, please feel free to ask.
The G37S is much higher quality and about the same performance with its 330hp.. Lots of complaints with the beemers.
