Regretfully, and quite sadly, I am selling the Batmobile tomorrow. I had my second baby in July, and there simply isn't any room in the back for a baby seat and another full size adult in the car.
With the baby seat behind the passenger seat, I'm forced to move the passenger chair almost all the way forward. My wife would then have to sit behind me, forcing me to move my chair forward (I have it all the way to the rear) and making me look like a grandpa driver in the process. Driving like that was very difficult. It was simply a "must do situation."
So, my garage now has 2 sedans, one 335i and now a G35, both 08's. I've only driven the G home from the dealership and then parked it in the garage, but for an automatic (has to be automatic to be used for my work), it is quick. I got the sport model, so it at least has the paddle shifters. I can't say whether or not it's faster than the GT, but it is much more quiet and a much nicer ride. The suspension in the G is "doable," but no where near the Batmobile with all the MM goodies I had installed. The seats in the G are light years ahead of the GT, as is the interior and fit/finish, and the seats are real leather and not some hybrid cow from Mars (as in the GT). I love the HID's too in the G
And, NO, I'm not resigning my position as the "Big Cheese" in 4.6 land, so you guys are stuck with me
