Didn't the G35 beat the 3 series a few times in the comparo;s 
seems like they just wanted to M3 so they had to give it to the 3 series. Not saying it isn't an amazing car but seems a little old in the tooth. I will take a 298HP G 35 sedan thanks

Now, bring $$ into the equation, and I would just buy a TL. Oh, yeah, I did.
Having said that, I was also surprised that the G35 wasn't there since it is just what the magazines ordered, so to speak.

Isnt this a repost? SouthernBoy had posted this a while back...
3 series is a very wide range. the M doesnt even belong there and the competition can beat 325i anytime.
Cool that Acura has 2 cars though.

That was the comparo I was thinking of. Of course the fact that the G competes with the lowest 3 series model on price but on the 330 in performance should count for something. Though C&D never seems to really care about price when it came to the 330.
Not comparing it to the M3 at all. Just saying that it seems like C&D really wanted to have the M3 on the 10 best list so had to just include the 3 series as well. Of course the fact that they chose the S4 over the M3 in a past comparo kind of clouds my vision as well
Don't think I will ever figure out C&D sometimes.
