However, I've read that the G37s interior puts the 3seriese to shame

Maybe I'm not an "enthusiast" but after sitting in both, there is no comparison between the 335i and the is350 in terms of interior quality. Besides the Lexus has all the power I'll ever need and is almost certainly more reliable in the long run. That Bimmer sure does drive good though....
Don't get me wrong, some of the shit going on in the 335i interior is whacky; the cup holders, the placement of the windor controls, the hvac controls, the steering wheel buttons; all crazyness; but the material quality is the best in it's class.

The only thing I can think of off the top of my head that's materially better in the IS are the gauges.

all I read was blah, blah, blah.
Honestly, if you are deciding on these two cars test drive them yourself.
I tell you what, if I were to get one of these cars you would not see me dogging it out to see what it is capable of doing.

I also much prefer the solid feel of the switchgear in the Lexus center stack to that of the 335. It all works out to personal preference though....

I'd have taken the 335i easily over the Lexus. The Lexus' styling is much sexier but in every other way that I immediately think of the Bimmer is superior.
On the flip side I'd take a new S4 in the modern market. Interior blows them away, it looks great, drives great, and has a fantastic powertrain.
