For 25K hes gonna get a 335i with higher mileage,possibly a 07-08 ...i would definately go with something newer,if you are concerned about the badge then look at the Beemer or Benz

I've found a 08 335i loaded with 50k miles for $23999. Probably can get it down to $22500. Does that sound like a decent deal?

I think you can do better for $22500...look at some with lower miles.

If you really like the 335i, look for one with fewer miles.

You mentioned you worried about maintenance costs down the road. Most definitely, an Infiniti G will be cheaper to maintain than a BMW 3-series.
Would you prefer a turbo-charged engine or naturally aspirated one ( 335i vs. G35/G37 ) ? I'd also test drive a Mercedes C-class: this C230 would be quick, have 4 doors, offer good value for a used car.

Does the owner have maintenance records and recites? At 50k miles a lot of things will start to wear out, and need service or replaced!

So, i am getting really close on replacing my Z

with a family sedan which i am looking at a 08 G35 sports and a 09 G37 journey. After doing some research, i've found that the problem with AC compressor in later gen G35 is pretty bad. Can anybody who has own g35 sedan before tell me what other problems I should also watch out for. Also, are there any common known issues with G37 so far?

Thanks guys

I'd go with the G37 CPO with some kind of warranty. It's safer bet IMO... and obviously bigger engine.
