G35 Sedan: not that beautiful after all

Pretender · 08-14-2007, 12:18 AM

I've been impressed with its line until I parked my E90 next to it. BTW, I debadged mine and removed the front license plate too.

d3l0n · 08-14-2007, 12:22 AM

Nice ride man. Like the rear wit the quads.

mesier1111 · 08-14-2007, 12:28 AM

what body kit is that? Love the side skirts, front and the rear? What exhaust and who did the rear bumper so the rear quads would fit perfectly?

just4kickz · 08-14-2007, 12:39 AM

nice plate

I'm not a fan of the new G's from the exterior point of view at all. They look like the older G's that are slightly melted. Interior, however, is quite an upgrade.

Year's_End · 08-14-2007, 01:00 AM

I like the chrome accent on the G's trunk lip. It does seem a little pudgy next to the 3 though. I like the front of the G a little better though...plz dun't flame lol

Year's_End · 08-14-2007, 01:01 AM

I've also noticed that they've copied the hoffmeister kink...or maybe I'm getting overly defensive. Doesn't really matter, I think more cars should utilize it

nmulax · 08-14-2007, 01:06 AM

The new G looks like the fat kid next to the 3er.

MSimeon · 08-14-2007, 01:06 AM

not a fan of the G35 sedan look at all. looks very porky compared to the muscular lines of the e90. especially with those quads looking at you.

But damn those G35 sedan's are quick. i recently had the chance to race an auto and it was nearly even. second race i only took it by 1 car length. what gives? or is this expected?

shragon · 08-14-2007, 01:32 AM

jimmy, your e90 is lookin' good!

Kerscher rear apron, ACS rep front, side. Kerscher quad exhaust by Bastuck with very nice deep tone at low rpm.

I've noticed that. Infinity and Nissan tried to copy a lot of details from BMW. Maybe they will copy the power dome hood and kidney grills later too.

ilovejordanz · 08-14-2007, 01:40 AM

i love the quads

STATUS · 08-14-2007, 01:06 PM

yeh i had an oppurtunity to buy that one and the previous year for pennies and i just didnt like it compared to some other equivelent rides. but its not bad just not good

Neema · 08-14-2007, 01:23 PM

Actually the 350z's in 07 came with a power dome hood, doesn't look good on that car though.

FotiosF90M5 · 08-14-2007, 06:20 PM

so much better looking. The G35 is an incredible car but its very stodgy looking.

e60lover · 08-14-2007, 06:45 PM

IMO, European clean lines will beat the Japanese look Infiniti is going for anyday.

Bimmer335i07 · 08-14-2007, 07:35 PM

I kind of like the G35 better

NOT!!!

nusevad · 08-14-2007, 08:12 PM

533ogetnom · 08-14-2007, 08:23 PM

they are both ugly as sin, i hate the back of the e90

CnoteMD · 08-14-2007, 09:01 PM

Seeing the rear of your car has me really looking forward to the release of the E90 M3.

But back to the original topic...the G35 rear is an improvement over the prior model, but I still think the BMW looks better.

e92man · 08-14-2007, 10:01 PM

to the op...................i think that the e90 def looks better but u cant really compare a cosmetically stock g35 with a heavily modded e90. i mean the cosmetic mods. btw, ur car is amazing
