Infiniti shoots the G37 straight at BMW's 3-series, and hits it right in the Angel Eyes.

Photo & Vids are self-explanatory :

Nissan VVEL (Variable Valve Event and Lift), without conventional throttle butterfly.
Nissan says that, compared with BMW's Valvetronic, VVEL is 32% quicker to respond, 20% smaller, and uses 52% less parts per cylinder:

Principles:
A rocker arm and two types of links close the intake-valves by transferring the rotational movement of a drive shaft with an eccentric cam to the output cam. The movement of the output cam can be varied by rotating the control shaft within the DC motor and changing the fulcrums of the links. This makes a continuous adjustment of the valve lift amount possible.
