標題: 128i or g37 sedan? [打印本頁]

作者: cinderelly 時間: 2009-9-15 22:54 標題: 128i or g37 sedan?

which one would you pick? a base 128i, or a base g37 sedan?
in terms of looks i prefer the 128 cuz it's a 2door. but xenon lights are extra, so are metallic colors and leather seats. (small back seats are ok though cuz i won't be having passengers very often)
whereas the g37 basically has everything that i want included in the price.

thank you for your input =)

Very different wor ..

For fun, and if you want a German brand .. go for 128 ..

If you need a bigger car, more features, ,more comfort etc .. go for G37 if you are ok with asian car.

we (my parents and i) have usually driven bmws. but this time i'm paying for most of the car. so i can't afford a 3 series or anything more than that...
i really like the 128 cuz they've lent it to me as a courtesy car once and i like it a lot more than the 3 series that i have right now. everything's smaller and lighter which i really like~ i'm having this dilemma mainly because i do prefer a bmw over an infiniti (plus i prefer a coupe) =p but then the g37 seems like a much better deal

My manager at work got a G37S (coupe) for less than $40k full loaded (manual).

買架自己鍾意ga 啦
如果因為抵買而買
咁不如買架美國車
跳樓價仲乜都包
係唔知之後有冇保養之ma

I like G37

Seems like you have your mind set on 128i, no need to have other to convince you more. Buy what you like, when you have the chance. When you have a family n-years later, get the mini-van...

agree, they are very different to compare.
one is a coupe & one is a sedan........why are you considering them?

作者: cinderelly 時間: 2009-9-16 09:51

they're the best ones in my price range. g37 has more to offer for that same price. the 128 is what i like... but for that price i won't be able to have xenon lights and leather seats...

Xenon light is a "must" la...it's so much brighter! Thus you see the road more clearly la.
Leather seat for me is not too necessary....

作者: pkphilip 時間: 2009-9-16 10:45

My manager got it at the Infinity at Richmond auto mall, apparantly he knew some people and he was offered that deal.

All of us at work were shocked that he could get that price.

xenon lights are only for show in city.

Besides looking good, xenon lights also add to the safety purpose...so why not?

He didn't say new or demo ...

This time of the year, may demo for sale at low price.

However, one person can get a specific car for $40K, not mean another person can get same car for same deal ma ..

Once you have driven a car with xenon headlight at night in the side streets and back alleys, you'll see the safety value.

作者: pkphilip 時間: 2009-9-16 22:11

My manager got it new like 9 months ago. He knows the director for the AutoWest group (who are friends with our C officers at head office), therefore deals fell down from sky.

test drove both cars today... now we know the pros and cons of both cars
and that makes it even harder to decide.......

Please tell us what are the pros and cons?

作者: cllo 時間: 2009-9-17 05:39

how old ar u? ar u planning to keep the car for long?
if u going to keep it, G37. Trade it for a new car in a few yr, 128i.

作者: BiscottiGelato 時間: 2009-9-17 09:21

Hmmmm....

The 128i doesn't come with Xenon standard? What?? I thought the 328i always have had it standard. Not for the 128i? How much of a price diff to add the Xenon back?

Several additional things to think about...
- AFAIK inifinti depreciates quicker (as a percentage).
- do you need 300+ hps? otherwise this is just a gas sucker.... u'll cry when the pump hits $1.5/$2 a liter
- how often do you need access to the rear seats?

Gd luck! Post pic when you got the car~!

作者: ACC-HE 時間: 2009-9-17 14:23

If you go for G37, might wanna check out Maxima too. I think it's not bad.

作者: siumaibb 時間: 2009-9-17 14:53

I still don't understand how can you compare a small sport coupe with a mid/large luxury sedan.

作者: tequila 時間: 2009-9-17 16:19

if you are thinking about 128 why not just go for 328? 128 is way smaller regardless if you hv passengers at the back or not i think... but also 128 and g37 has a huge gap too.. different levels of cars

作者: cinderelly 時間: 2009-9-17 20:38

i'm currently driving a 328. i'm hoping for a coupe. thats why i'm considering the 128. then g became my option as well because of the similarity of the prices. i'll be paying for a big chunk of it, so i cant afford anything like a 328 coupe or g coupe. the small back seats of the 128 isn't really an issue because we have another car and the 128'll mostly be my car only. to add the xenon i'll have to get the premium package which is another $3000. (you can't add it on its own)

i wouldn't really consider the g sedan to be a mid/large luxury sedan though? it's more like a sports sedan to me.. loud engine, high hp... for the same price, the g sedan seems to offer so much more =\

作者: daxtor 時間: 2009-9-17 20:59

The G is definitely much bigger than the 128. However, it will eat quite a bit more gas and as others pointed out, depreciate much quicker. I also agree that if you are keeping it, choosing the G may be a better choice as you get way more from the G than the 128 equipment-wise.

Now that you said you are driving the 328, what's wrong with it? Are you trying to sell it/trade it in? Why not keep driving it for some more time until you can afford something better? Like, saving up the 3k for the premium package?

作者: cinderelly 時間: 2009-9-17 23:03

i think.. im gonna quit thinking and go with the 128~ found a better deal with the premium pkg (xenon lights)~ ... i think =p

作者: siumaibb 時間: 2009-9-18 02:00

don't think la, go for it.

作者: Catpiano 時間: 2009-9-18 06:48

Go Go Go .. 128 is cutier for girls!

作者: 花滿樓 時間: 2009-9-23 13:33

個人較喜歡G37, 因為1系唔係咁大睇/襟睇.

作者: Yuzi 時間: 2009-9-26 20:31

128i is very fun to drive~
but if u want the speed of G37 and the handling & feeling of a 128i then go for 135i. For me I chose 128i for economical reason

作者: chobit 時間: 2009-10-9 15:31

It's probably abit late to reply.. .. I guess how cares...!  BTW, are we talking about stick shift?
If you have driven 328i, or still have it.  I see very little reason for the 128i.

1st. the weight diff. between 128i/328i is very little.  3340 vs 3252, not even 100lbs.  This is according to Edmonds.com for 2010 models.

According to what I know.. the 128 maybe fun to drive because of the shorter wheelbase, However, the overall track time is actually better on the 3 series because of the longer wheelbase.

Therefore, if you have have 328i, the 128i is too close in performance, and I would rather save up for the 135i, or just try something else like the G37 which is a very nice car...!

edmunds.com compared them on track

1 series vs 3 series
the shorter wheelbased 1 series actually 3-4sec faster on the track
