-Touch screen Nav? Mounted too far away to be convienient. Deeply hooded making it difficult to see what you're touching because you hand blocks it. Fingerprints.
-Birds eye Nav POV. I do like the birds eye perspective and use it on my G35 all the time. Much better than a view looking straight down. Haven't tried the BMWs yet, does it have a similar POV?
-Rear view camera....uhhhhh...what are the windows for? Actually, the G37 rearward vis is worse than the BMWs so maybe they really need this. Can't see where this is a great advantage over BMWs system
-Power steering wheel adjust
-Memory settings include steering wheel.
-6MT only hastwo interior color choices neither of which are Coral Red leather

None of the above points has anything to do with driving. Exactly what the G3x vs. 3 Series question is all about. To me, the G35 is like the guy with the brand-new 4000 sq. ft. house but lives 70 miles from work. He doesn't factor in the reality of his 3 hour commute, and insists until he's blue in the face that his house is better than your 2200 sq. ft. house that is 40 years old and costs more than his. It's a personal decision. These threads should be in an other cars comparison section, not here imho.
