Default Getting a GS this summer! (pics)

Last year I had a 2004 330i with premium and cold weather packages. It was nice but I wanted something else. It had 77k on it at the time.


I kept it for about 6 months and then got something a little different. I got a 2005 g35x with 97k miles. I still have it and while I like it a lot, I want something a little more refined and luxurious while still being quick.



A little more info...I have a 2006 330i 6MT Berger tuned, 2008 g35x, of course the 2005 g35x and a 2010 Tundra. The only mods done to the '05 g35x are 35% tint in the rear and a coupe midpipe (if anyone here is familiar with what that does). I will be getting a 2007 gs350 at some point this summer. I just wanted to introduce myself because I will be spending more and more time here!

I had a 6mt g35 which I modded but then the engine started to eat oil so I got rid of it and now I have a gs. Welcome.

lol... the GS will be faster than your G35 (so long as it's a 350 v6 and up on the line)

I have a question. I have been looking online for 2007 gs350's and they have different types of gas pedals. Some have a "German" style gas pedal and some have a different type. Why do the same year and model cars have different gas pedals?

I prefer Lexus style than German style. I tired on German style and hard to acceleration. Lexus style is easy to acceleration so use Lexus style.

What colour are u pick on '07 or '08 GS? You can find black interiors

German style but depending on your area, which looks like NH but I think the German style which is basically RWD is the best as there is no hump and usually a little faster. Not a fan of light interior but if you lke it I would go with RWD. Peace of mind the AWD though.
