G37 or 650i

Just put a deposit on the G37 today, order a red one with black interior fully loaded, and the sales man said my payment will be around $800 a month for 60 months with zero down if finance, i was thinking keeping my 04 tl and buy the G37, but now things change a little bit after i went to BMW dealer look at the 650i, that thing is soooo hot, The 650i payment will be at $1100 a month with my car trade in. So here it is i don't know what to do. I love my TL because i did a lot of Mods to it, thats why i wants to keep it. so should I keep my TL and get a G37 or trade my TL in for a 650i, upgrade to a luxury level.

so it's actually TL + G37 or 650i

Personally, I think 650i as a weekend car is fantastic but having it as a daily driver doesn't worth the money and trouble you have to go through

Why don't you just keep your TL and save money to invest or something. Or do you have any specific reason behind this plan?

If you REALLY want a new car, then dump the TL and get the G37 and some snow tires for the winter (or a beater if you don't want to drive it). More money for the G, and even lower payments. $800-$1000 per month on just one car is too much IMO.

Not that I would ever dump that much per month into a car b/c that's just nuts, but there are many other rides I'd rock for $1k/mo.

I'd also agree with JS... keep the TL and invest in your own home... or if you already own one... a new one.

You might want to try another dealer then...

and I personally would go with the 650i. I'd rather have one really nice car than two middle of the road cars...

But under no circumstances would I pay a G a month to drive anything short of an exotic, unless it's a business expense. Is it a business expense?

I'm not sold on the value of a 650i ... Why stretch to get that? Trade the TL for a 335i and save yourself a ton of money.

+1 for the 650 forget the G37, Don't get me wrong the G37 is a nice car but just wait everyone and their mother will be driving one but not so with the 650 and your maintenance is paid for by BMW not so with the G37. Plus the 650 is a head turner and the G37 will be common place in a very short time.

just test drive the 650 earlier today, i love it, but the rear seat is so small worst than Honda civic coupe. And the price is $83,000 for the one that i like, thats is way too too much than what i though is gonna be, add another $17,000 you can get a M6. or $10,000 for M5. Maybe i should look into the Lexus GS450H, what do you guys think?

keep the tl and get a 335i, you will have the avaliable sportyness of the BMW and te traction of the TL. And for the people mentioning head turners, these head turning cars are the ones most likely to get keyed. I have seen tis alot in florida like when a BMW 5, 6 or 7, or M rolls up and parks, when I come back, I see it is keyed. I feel pretty bad for the owner sometimes. But remember, having to flashy car is never to good.
