Everyone has their own opinion. In reality I don't think this is a "Winner" its based on situation, taste, preference....
For me 2007 G35X then the 335XI and then the IS350. I can also give an my own accurate opinion because I was in the market for a car and I test drove all 3.
G35X has a gorgeous interior in the new sedan, good power and good reliability history and best bang for the buck.
The 335XI was nice, I just didnt like the interior styling and also cost about 8k more than the G35X.
The IS350 didn't appeal to me much but since Lexus was right next door might as well be nosy. The IS350 felt cheap inside, which surprised me, my buddy has a GS and the interior is gorgeous. Also it lacked power compared to the 335XI and the G35X. Still more expensive than the G35X.
So I ended getting a 2007 G35X.
For the people that said the G35 interior is cheap, you obivously have not seen the 07 G35 sedans.
The IS350 really didn't feel like a luxury car, the interior wasn't what I expected from Lexus and the car was slow.
I really did like the BMW, but the price tag makes it difficult. Like many people said if money was not object, they get a 335XI. Well if money really wasn't an object I wouldn't be looking at these 3 cars..

that guy is an idiot, I have both the IS350 and the GS350, I can tell you that the GS350's interior isn't better than the IS. In facts, the IS' cluster display more infos the the GS' cluster and looks so much cooler. They both have the same wood trim and all that crap but the GS has no Audio Aux input. The only time when the GS' interior look better is when the IS has no Nav, the GS come with with the INFO SCREEN even without the Nav and the IS' interior looks like crap without the Nav.

A while back I raced a 350Z on the street with my GS, we both took off from a dig to about 80 and we were dead even. When we got to the next light, the guy had the look of "wtf just happened" on his face, he yells out "I thought the GS runs 15s, are you spraying?". I just smile and told him "no I got a factory freak" and I drove off lol.
