Thanks for all the support on this video guys! Obviously I didn't mention everything and I misspoke on a few words but thanks for the corrections!

The auto is a surprisingly good transmission. Its able to tell when your trying to stay in the power so it won’t upshift early on you. And it’s got rev matching even when your not using manual mode. I find it pretty cool

[chriswf]

And BTW, the autos aren't THAT bad. They shift sorta fast, and they hang in gear when you play with the throttle (in a good way). So if you let off the throttle, and break, then corner, and want to get back in it, the sporty auto transmission is ready for you, still in high rpms.

I've driven a lot of BMWs, like 95% of BMWs are automatic, and none of their autos function like this. At least none pre 2006.

But yeah, manual is preference... Just don't completely denounce an auto until you've tried it.

2003 g35 coupe is a fucking legend! Best car I ever driven to this date. Such a classic also my first car in high school!

[bricked]

I dont get why the G gets so much hate as an auto, its one of the funnest autos ive driven, besides you got manual mode so you can still have fun with the gears

[romanjungwirth]

The headlights are different, but the 2003 in the video already had the newer ones

[epic]

I have a 2004 G35X sedan and it looks and runs like a champ. These cars look like they're not taken care of very well. Come on take better care of your babies.

All of the G35s use a timing chain not a belt lol

[matthewtimber]

the VQ engine platform uses timing chains not timing belts... the difference between rev-up and non-rev-up engines is that non-rev-up engines have variable cam timing on just the intake cam whereas the rev-up engines have variable cam timing on both the intake and exhaust cams.

My 03 came with the SWEET Bose Premium
AM/FM/CASSETTE player!🤣

" Don't get a automatic " I had too man I bought a 03 g35 for 800$ in perfect condition minus the seats being torn up, but other than that it was great

[Berg]

The 2005 is somewhere in the middle of both. You get the 05-07 interior (which is alot nicer), the rays forged wheels, but the exterior is still the same as 03-04.

[rcandrew]

FYI: He is referring to the VTC sprockets NOT TIMING BELTS. The VQ series of engines has always had a timing chain. As I recall, all G models 2003-04 are all 260hp; same VQ engines and all have VTC only on the intake cams regardless of auto or manual. 2005-07 coupes (2005-06 Sedans) are 280hp with the automatic (VTC only on intake). For the latter models with manual transmission, they are 298hp, and have VTC on both the intake and the exhaust camshafts, and are referred to as 'Rev-Up' models. I'm pretty sure thats the skinny on them, but I could be wrong. Regardless, if these motors are looked after and the oil changed regularly, they are very reliable engines. They burn oil, so keep an eye on the level, especially if you beat on them!
Do you need a manual to have fun? I don't believe that 100%. I live in CA, and traffic can be a major pain, so a stick would be a nuisance. The auto tranny's are same story as the motor, if the fluid is kept clean, they are very durable and shift quite quick in my experience. My 05 G has 252k on the clock, I cannot complain about these cars.

[KngKurd]

pretty close, but only a few thing i can think of that you missed, the 03 has 06-07 headlights which are not what originally come on those cars, also on 07 the door handle and radio areas all have either more metallic or chrome finishes, and the seats in front on both models move forward to access back seats but on the 03 it automatically moves forward, on the 07 there is a button on back for that function.

[edwardgarcia]

I can drive Manual transmission, but If i had the option to get an automatic with Paddle shifters. I would prefer that, don’t @ me.

[eiji]

Some 06/07's may also have the driver memory seat feature. I'm not sure if its an upgrade. I have a 2005 G35 fully loaded 6spd but I dont have the memory seat function.

The best feature on the newer 06/07 is the trunk button outside (on the tailight).

[shankfunnytv]

The 03 G35 auto has 4 "seat controls" on the driver side and the passenger has 2. Just saying.

[xGecks]

I think you are doing an amazing job just keep learning and growing man! Loving the videos!

[Jimmy_Peep]

"get a manual. the 6 speed is better. the engine is good and big" my auto will smoke yo granny shifting.

[alexanderurben]

Why does the 07 have the rev up? My 07 had the 35HR, totally different engine
