2006-2010 Infiniti M35 & M45.. What You Didn’t Know

- Here’s a throwback video featuring the Infiniti M35 & M45 from the 2006 to 2010 model years. But the Infiniti M sedans technically don’t qualify as a flagship as the the Infiniti Q45 existed in 2006. See my video on the Lexus GS F here: • 2016-2020 Lexus GS F.....
The Infiniti M35 was powered by a NA V6 engine whereas the M45 was powered by a NA V8 engine which makes it very special. These M sedans were available with AWD and as a Sport model which came with some high end features which I talk about in this video.
This video was done by Kevin from Exhaust Sports Auto.

THAT is a great video.
So I owe the M30D S uk 🇬🇧 drive and it’s shock absorbers and suspension arm ball joint and the anti roll link bar and at the moment we struggling to get the part …so my question is is there any other model that kit matches with it will be happy if you can help with an answer please 🙏?
I have a 2008 M45, 16 years old, and it still looks modern, platinum silver. Only 60,000 miles on it and its just a great car with many features that many high end cars just added in the past 2-3 years. Bose audio, lane keeping, lasr radar spped control, voice recognition, rear seats with reclining, heated seats and a video player. I have to fix some body damages but I don't see any reason to buy a BMW, Merc, Audi, especially here in CA with the 2% annual tax. I love it and appreciate the video as this was the fastest sedan as rated by car and driver for that year. Plus, you don't see many on the road!
i see a 2008 116k miles 7k i wanna buy it should i buy??
My first car was a 2006 M35 with journey and navigation packages. Absolutely loved it! Was great to drive and the exhaust note on the VQ was always great. Bought with high miles in mint condition from an elderly neighbor and sold it with 220k miles on the clock! Never had issues for me beyond 2 $40 sensors failing (which caused the car to brick up while driving - Infiniti faced a class-action lawsuit in the g35 models for the same sensor failures) You didn't mention it, but the M series also offered Lane departure alert and Automatic Radar cruise control back in 2006 / 2007! Absolutely wild, and a great value.... Unfortunately when I see one on the road today its typically ratted out :(.... but this era (2003-2010) was definitely Infiniti's heyday - I wouldn't be lining up to buy any new infiniti model today, which is sad to say as they were an industry innovator for quite some time in the early 2000s.
Nice! That’s quite a first car 😅 and I have to agree the new Q50 and Q60 just don’t do it for me even though they do look good
He mentioned at the end of the vid
I have a 2006 infinity m45 v8 engine and it needs a engine cause the old one locked up when is the best place to get one for a good price it has been sitting for years and I would love to get it back on the road. Do the car have any recall?
What sensor was it
@@Daddygregbra crank shaft and cam shaft position sensors both were replaced. They caused the same issue so I replaced both as to not take any chances. Vehicle shuts itself down while driving and takes a few moments to restart, also causing loss of power steering and brakes- definitely inconvenient when you're driving and t happens unannounced...
Just bought a 2010 model, what a freaking underrated gem this car is. Ticks all the boxes, and handles like a champ for how heavy it is
Enjoying my 2006 still get so much attention and these cars where really nice and underrated hopefully I can get me a m37 for a good price
Still rollin’ in my ‘06 M45S. 143,000 miles. Burns 1/2 qt of oil between oil changes. Replaced struts and exhaust, valve cover gaskets, reg change fluids, alternator,plugs. Love driving this beast on the highway cruising at 80mph. Overall has been a great ride. Love the V8 and will hang on till it dies. Not many V8’s out there anymore.
So what you say that is worth buying a 2008 model of the M 35
Wow 👍🏽
Worth it for sure @@twongreen9968
this is why i absolutely love 2000s vehicles so much innovation
This thing was certainly impressive
Bought mine at 119k miles. Now at 278+ k. Drives like a blessing still to this day
I got mine at 143k miles and she’s now at 165k and I’m praying she last me awile it’s been a great car to me so far
@@estevanberrellez1947buying mines Wednesday with 143k
I own a 2006 M35 sport and it's by far the best vehicle I have ever owned. Even with over 230,000 miles I have no problems. It still look as good as the day it was new, and I'll be driving this for much longer as I don't see anything out there on the market that makes me feel the way this car does.
That’s awesome my friend!
If you're ever in the market for a new car that feels similar. Id look into newer Lexus's and BMW if you can afford the maintenance
If your dash hasn’t cracked all over the place you better consider yourself lucky.
@@g35s BMW will be in the shop
@@hammertime4257 Depends on which BMW. The higher end models always shames Lexus. No competition.
I own a 2006 35x. Everything he said. it is a marvel to own. The interior the features the wood, the sound system, the purr, the handling is superb. But they are demanding. For all that they offer and they do offer. you give and they take. You have to stay on it and they love gas.
Thinking about getting one , is gas the only thing I'll have to worry about. What gas do you recommend ?
@@ushallN0tpass I have used only Mobil premium fuel with every single gas stop. I have never variated. No problems. Premium is what is strongly recommended so that is all I use.
Sensors for one. Check and change oil religiously. One thing I don't do that many people who have this car demonstrate is the speed. It is Z fast and if you love 0 to 60 driving it does get up. But it is a very luxurious car and ride and I drive mine as such. Every now and then I punch it and she jets but I do not treat it like a race car to take better care of it. Also as I said it uses premium gas which is the more expensive fuel and she loves to drink. It is not the greatest on gas. Not the worst but I imagine that if you keep that pedal to the metal you will spent lots of time at the gas pump. Take care of it and it will make your driving experience a very pleasurable one. Check and change oil religiously.
I have the m35 sport as a daily and the m45 sport which was most likely a showroom model. Has every option available including the rare factory aero. Great cars.
I owned a last generation q45 then an 2006 m45 sport. Both were awesome cars. I had more than half a dozen q45’s before the last q. Had great reliability from all of them.
I had a 2010 m35s loved it and now i have a q70 still love it
Great job I owned a 2008 M35X which I sold to my best friend and it's still running today with no issues. The only thing I would add is premium fuel is not required but recommended. I used plus sometimes with no issues.
I’m actually in the market for one of the 2008 but everybody’s telling me to stay away from his car because he’s trash but those are from people who on a G or q model
Nice video. I have a 2009 M35 S. Many people don’t know that the 2009/2010 model years have the updated VQ35DE engine with 303 horsepower and an 7speed automatic transmission. The updated engine fixed the timing chain guide issues, got more power due to dual intake tubes, new front and rear facias, new rear, yet slightly modified taillights and new side skirts for the for the sport models. Even the side marker lights on the fenders were revised, as well as updated wheel options!
My model, love it so it's on my 3rd car cover. Parking outdoors at work.
Did the 45 get the 7speed auto also?
So should I stay away from a 2008 model
@@twongreen9968 The 2008 Model is good as well. Just check on the timing chain guides to make sure that they don't have any issues. Overall, the 2008 is good
@@icecold8974 No, the M45 still had the 5- speed automatic. The 7-speed was added to the M56.
I had brand new v8 m45 sport rwd right when it came out from 2006-2009. WOW. It was FAST and handled as good as bmw M cars. Also had the most insane technology inside which was shockingly both loaded and very useful and never too much or confusing. Also had 5.1 audio Bose surround sound which was nice. Was honestly the best car around at that time taking everything into consideration (except gas mileage lol). It was both luxury so class respectable, powerful, looked sexy as hell at the time (pu$$y magnet), great comfort, great handling. Basically perfect at the time. All my friends with bmw 5 and 7 series were low key jealous lol
Great video! I love these cars as I have owned 2 M35’s (X model/S model) and they were way ahead of their time with all of the tech offered. Adaptive Cruise, Lane Departure Warning/Prevention (it used the brakes to guide the car on center) along with the BOSE Audio Pilot that helps cancel out road noise and automatically adjusts the speaker volume. These cars are definitely a gem but were never as popular as they should’ve been. Thanks for the great review!
Yea my friend a very impressive vehicle I always wanted to cover these cars because of this reason
Don't forget too the auto windshield wipers who's speed comes from how much is on the glass - not simply road speed. I only learned that when on the freeway something splashed across the front of the car, and out of nowhere the wipers went bloop-bloop
We have the 2010 M35X, my favorite Infiniti yet, we've had Infinities since 1992. Had the transmission control module circuit board fail. Infiniti dealer wanted to replace the whole transmission for almost $9000. Right! I brought it home, read the code, dropped the pan and the control module, after cleaning it up, only problem was a cracked circuit on the board. I soldered a wire across to connect the break, reinstalled with new gasket and synthetic fluid, torqued to 75 inch/pounds, all for less than $100, took care of the problem. 70,000 miles later, still working great!
Sadley it seems Infiniti dealers assume their customers are all complete morons and believe anything they're told. I later met up with the sales manager while eating out, she said I need to upgrade my ride to a newer version. I told her the 2006-2010 was the best series made yet, she agreed and proceeded to share the newer ones aren't as good as the older models, she wanted mine because there's a good market for the '06-10 models...case closed.
I have a M45S premium package it has all the features and I got very lucky with my find it’s beutiful and only had 100k miles on it for an 06 and it was for 7000 talked him to 6300 and it rides very smooth and it’s very fast aswell I love it and it is in perfect condition and I would never sell it. The performance is amazing and it’s a great car
Own a 2007 m45 -v8 love this car still working great
Really great breakdown of these cars! I've own an 08 M35 for about 3 years and have absolutely enjoyed it. Recently added an 06 FX45 to the
"fleet" and even though it would be cool to have the V8 in the M (which I might do someday) it's cool to have a taste of both of these popular engines from the time period. Also, never knew the rear heated/reclining seats were an option either!
I have the 2006 M45 sport and it drives like a dream..When I first seen it,,I had to research car because I've never heard of the Infiniti M series..The power is remarkable and it's very peppy with alotta comfort.. However,,I was wanting the FX45 but nothing was available in my area..I LOve the technology this car has and it's got features in it that newer cars don't have for a 2006..I have a 2003 G35 as well with 220,000 miles and it still performs,,no rattles,,no smoke just smooth as ever 💪🏾💪🏾.. Infiniti is my go-to now.
I drive a 2006 m35 and its been a really good car its got 190,000 miles on it i got it with 170,000 and i havent really had to fix anything besides a couple coil packs got it for $5000 and its got the package below the premium. And surprisingly the swivel lights still work and the cooling seats are badass
Thanks for showing the M's some love. Not many videos on it. I have an 06 m45s with 155k miles. Added a cold air intake and lowered suspension. Absolutely love the car. Engine burns oil, dvd player in the center console stopped working in the past year. I plan on having it repainted in the next year or two due to some clear coat damage. Other than that it still drives like a beast. I still get comments on how good it looks and people are surprised it's an 06 that aren't familiar with the model. Starting to get a hole in the muffler and am thinking of adding an aftermarket exhaust.
Yea my friend always loved some of these early 2000s luxury cars, and thanks so much for taking the time to share with us your ownership experience
Definitely burns oil bad. I had to replace my engine due to that. Then the same thing happened with the 2nd one n i just sold it as is.
Question: Can you tell the difference in power with the cold air intake?.. because I was thinking about installing one.
@Bleu Lewchi it's been a while since I've installed it but I noticed a difference. After installing it I did the ECU reset steps.
I have 06 m35, orderd the cold air intake but second tube did not fit, soo now its short ram intake, gotta call sender bout this issue
I own the 2006 m45( 210k miles) with the tech pack. The rides so damn smooth !!!. Active cruise and lane keeping are my go-to at all times.
I'm glad I found her. Only thing I've done to it was installed a new battery, idler pulley, belts, and oil change. The car revs it az off.. it's my highway car.
TH-camr EDBWOY gives you excellent details on how to maintain the vehicle and what to look for while owning one.
I found a 2008 for 4500 nice but I heard these cars are trash and to stay away from them from tha reviews and a friend who has a q60 2016 and a 2013 g35 they told me to stay away from that car but I have a love for tha m model
@twongreen9968 absolutely no problems with mines and I have 216k on it. Maybe all the issues were fixed before I bought it. I don't drag race that m45. I cruise it but give it a Lil gas whenever I feel like it
@@Westlyn80 cool tha guy on this channel told me to buy a Camry or Avalon so I guess 4500 is a lot for a 2008 now idk what 2 do
I always loved the looks of these! I love that you are giving them some time. I sold Infiniti back at that time: I had some Q45’s for demos. I like the first one and the second one.
That’s awesome that you were selling these vehicles when they were new! I appreciate you stopping by and sharing, I should probably try to cover the Q series as well since that was the true flagship for a while
@@MeynMotorGroup yea I’m 35. Started as a lot porter when I was 16. Ended up selling and then getting into finance. The original Q was definitely older than me by a lot but I did drive the trade-ins on that model and loved their raw feel! The ones you mentioned I was able to drive new along with QX50’s and the rest. Fun times. Infiniti started to lose their way unfortunately. At least a lot of us thought they did. Resale values went to hell. I admired how Lexus & Acura kept their high residuals. The leaders for sure.
I drive a 2009 M45x 4.5 V8 with the premium package.
Best car I've ever drove
It handles like a GTR at high speeds and is incredible with ice and snow.
The AWD is untouchable by other sedans
And this is the reason why I do not want to get rid of my 09 g37xs, they are good cars.
I still drive my 2006 and I really like this car. I'll probably keep it 4 years 2 come.
I own a 2009 M35 with the tech package. I’ve always loved Infiniti and this car ticks off a lot of the boxes for me. HR motor that sounds pretty good, nice ride and handling, lots of headroom (I’m 6’6”) and I love looking at the inside and out. I will say that these cars do need maintenance or they will break and turn into a pile.
I actually still have my 06 M45. It has 160k Miles now. its gray with light gray leather and aluminum accents. Overall it has been a trouble free vehicle. I've had to replace a o2 sensor and a camshaft position sensor. I replaced the plugs and coils recently at 158k, along with all fluids. I did valve cover gaskets at 160k as well as the throttle body. It's always been garaged and oiled changed every 4k conventional. I've never had any major engine or transmission problems. Just general maintenance. The tech and v8 is a bit dated but everything still works. It still has the original radiator, water pump and thermostat. I also own a 08 Lexus ISF with 170k. The 5.0 and 8 speed are amazing. The M45 could benefit greatly from the 8speed, but none the less two total different cars.
Believe it or not in a lot of hoods this became the new dope boy car they were fast luxurious and they didn't break down like the American cars lol....
Well in my city they are 🤣
The G, FX and the M
They’re def pretty cool
@@udontknowmeg7254 yep 👍🏾💯
Yes def, this car tinted was it.
Milwaukee?
Yea was gonna buy a M45 but ended up with a M35 with highway miles bought it at 229 in august 2020 today im at 272 with just oil changes and brakes and tires and front drive shaft changed great Car for daily driving.
Just bought my 08 m35 w 192 k miles on it early November. No engine light. Now at 206k and STILL RUNNING LIKE A CHAMP!!
Im thinking of getting one myself
Ur comment motivated me to buy tha one I’m looking at heard these models where trash
@@twongreen9968 I love mine, had to replace the cooling sensor, now imma clean the camshaft sensors, may or may not need to replace them. I learned a lot with this car and I would’nt change it for anything else, it’s just perfect for Me and really gets around and is so fun and smooth to drive 💯✅🤝🏾👑🤝🏾
@@twongreen9968 at almost 208k now!
@@RiseUpRoyalAce cool glad u like it A friend of mine has a Q 60 and a G 37 and they’ve never been a fan of his model so he was the one that told me that they were trash and then I knew a couple of people who only is an eight dude have transmission problems but I think I’m gonna go ahead and try to get it but I’m just waiting on dude to actually tell me the mileage on it and long as there’s not really any big big repairs I’m cool with that
I didn’t know the m35 were able to be specked out like that. I have a 2011 m37 and it drives smoothly, I’ve had it for two years so far and has not given me any problems
Nice! Glad to hear it has been problem free
That M45 with the rear steer was a BEAST... I had a G35 sedan and coupe at the time. I almost got one but ordered another G35 because it felt more nimble
Yea most people went for the G and it makes sense but I agree this is a sweet ride
M45x 2008. 212,000 kms.
Full load Tech package. I love sitting in the backseat. Power relcline, heated seats ( no a/c in the rear seats, unfortunately) I comes with two bose headphones and a remote controller. Unfortunately my kids get tue back seat most of the time.
I would say the only good and bad part of the the drive train. 5 speed transmission. Cruising at highways speeds your reving 3100 to 3500. Major gas guzzler. And infiniti says premium fuel😂 💸💸💸💸
Active rear steer is cool. But best feature by far. Headlights turning the direction of your steering wheel. Rare option for cars of those years.
Most definitely love my mid life crisis buy.
I just bought the V8 model o8 version and I love it
I have the 2006 m35 with everything but the reclining rear seat I love it
I owned a 2004 M45. That car was so fast! You don't see alot of them on the street. I always loved Infinitis in the 90's and early 2000's.
Nice! Yea it’s a rare car for sure only a handful available
@@MeynMotorGroup subbing so i get notified when it gets featured on the channel
How was the reliability?
@Brian McReynolds reliability is good with them. This is the same v6 engine Nissan has made for decades plus is has a regular transmission not that CVT garbage. I owned a 2004 Infiniti M45 for 6 years. It was a great vehicle for me.
Currently rocking a 2007 m35, dude the power on this v6 is not like any other v6. 179000 miles on it I’ve only had issues with a radiator and transmission like came off but replaced both and it’s working beautiful
So u had transmission problem’s
Have 08 M45X Premium package with 101000 miles and it is great. Had to replace a leaking radiator when I bought it then I did spark plugs ignition coils valve cover gaskets a new thermostat and battery and it drives like new
I have a 2006 M45, gold color with the Peanut Butter seats. This car was ahead of it's time. You have to drive one to really appreciate an M45. I had to replace the tranny once but other than that this car is a BEAST. One the highway the response on acceleration is crazy. To hear the engine start and rev is addicting. You can hear that V8 Beast under the hood. I thought about selling her after the tranny change but.....I can't do it. This car still turns heads and I get comments all the time about it. Again, you have to drive one to really appreciate it.
I actually knew all of the things mentioned in the video.
I’ve got an ‘06 M35x with the Premium package that I’ve owned since 2015. I have driven BMW’s and Mercedes from around that time period and found the Infiniti more to my liking; I just felt the leather was too firm and I didn’t like the layout of the dash/instruments.
My M is still a dream to own and drive.
I have the 2008 m45. I bought it 5 years ago for $14000. No real problems. I just paid it off last month. I went from a 05 Kia Sorento to this car. I love it. The only issue was the tps modules, the passenger rear has never worked. Even after rotating the tires. I found out that the module did work but could not connect when in that position. When it got moved to the front it started working. What caught my eye when I was first looking at this car, was the engine compartment. Totally covered and sealed. This makes this car look so premium and wows everyone I show it to. Also, I like the active headlights that steer and level themselves. And the Bose stereo is awesome. It is like sitting inside the speaker itself. My car is pearl white.
Still only 89000 miles on it.
I started loving in Infiniti when i bought my first I35×...Bought it with about 90k miles..By the time i sold it to a local Junkyard it had over 300k miles...
Came across a low miles 06 M35× fully loaded,black eith the most beautiful seats ever in a car, Peanut Butter.
With about 122,000. The only issues i had were just regular wear and tear. But i do have now, Vale Cover Gasket that need to be replaced. Which will be done very soon!
This will mostly likely be my last Infinit car.
Until i see something that will WOW me from Infiniti.
Switching over to the Genesis. Havent made my mind up yet between the G80 or G90.
But i will always love Infiniti. Probably the only luxury car that will last a lifetime with the proper maintenance.
I think these cars are slowly getting discovered for there worth especially with many G’s getting clapped out.
I have the 2008 m35s and the 2008 m45x and they both r my babes straight beast mode both still in amazingly great condition still I love them both I’m a infiniti M guy. I enjoy them every day and florida roads r perfect for them . They drive better then these newer cars. Thinking about getting the Q70l soon but keeping both my babes ❤️💪🏽
I have a 97 q45 with the v8. Love it so much but I would love the m45 as well. Kinda hard to find em not beat haha.
I have a 2008 M45 Sport and a 2009 M45 sport. The 2008 I bought brand new 15 years ago.. it has 240,000 miles on it and is a workhorse. Has never been back to has never been back to the shop for any type of repairs other than standard maintenance type of items. In 2018 I bought a q70l and it was extremely disappointed. It's a very large car which I liked 5.6 l v8. The CVT transmission is a piece of garbage. Got rid of the car after 3 months.. I was actively looking for another M45 sport and Ryan across a black one in California and pristine condition. I flew out their drove it back to Chicago and had it detailed, play bard, and ceramic Crystal sealant on the clear coat. Then put four brand new continental DWS tires on it.. car is beautiful looks like it just rolled off the assembly line. Very hard to find these V8s
I currently own a 2008 M35x with 198k on the dash it runs with no issues and it's my daily
Tha’ts pretty sweet
Had '11 M37 - still regret selling it. Might get m35h/q70h if good deal surfaces...
Nice! Yea I really liked that redesign
I had a 2010 m35 with the 7at it was great!! now i have a 2017 q70
I have the Japanese sports model (NZ) which they badge as the Nissan Fuga GT350 (the 4.5 V8 is the GT450)
Still have my Y50 VK45, featured on my channel 🥰, I love "Maleficent" holding strong even with z/g mods. If your on NC feel free to check her out, I'm in Fayetteville.
You did forget to mention the adaptive cruise control, and 2008 to 2010 lane departure prevention. 😊
Awesome Video......I own 2006 M45S and 2008 M35 both great vehicles all my vehicles are Nissan products (2) 350zs G37s Coupe and G35x Sedan .....hardest vehicle to find out of all was M45 ....love the growl of the V8
This music makes me think that this car was murdered 😅
😅 but wasn’t it tho lol
Lol
12:46 I have a 2006 m45
Man I love it 🥰 it’s fast no tear in the seats,very clean inside…it does burn a lot of oil though 😂but I do race any time someone pulls on the side on me so🤷🏾♂️😂
But other then that I don’t want another,had a mustang and iroc but nothing like that infiniti v8 rpm’s revving up high 🥰🥰🥰
My girl hates riding with me because a race can pop off any second 😂😂😂😂😂😂
#Infiniti #bayarea #oakland
I owe 2006 m35 v6, lots of miles, but still drives like a charm. Just needs paint job blk
People talk trash about this Infiniti and that’s good because it can keep the cost low for me to buy this unique Japanese looking Infiniti M35 while teenage rich brat wasting money on a Mercedes-Benz and BMW that have same or less features than this Infiniti
Love the orange lights in the instrument panel!
Currently driving a 2002 q45...214500 miles. Still rolling.. 7 repairs in 22 yrs. 60 k new...
My mom and step father own a 2008 M45 Sport... its great and its still low mileage
I had an 06 m35 back then. Still one of my favorite cars I've owned. I'm going to buy it again, not to really drive but for nostalgic reasons. Collector.
I bought a Black 2010 m45s with the black interior and chrome trim has everything but the rear entertainment package and bought it used with 60,000 miles on it and 3 years later I’m still in love I have had BMW from the e46 model all the way up I had a stingray corvette and my m45 is my absolute favorite I can’t imagine driving anything else I absolutely love this car and everyday I’m learning something new about it I do however dislike the navigation system and the lack of Bluetooth unless that is another hidden feature that I don’t know about and also I don’t appear to have Lane departure warning, as I have never heard any chimes or anything of that nature I also do tend to have an issue with it from time to time, especially at higher speeds feeling as though for lack of better terminology you’re drunk the car seems to not want to stand its lane feels real wishy-washy. Haven’t been able to figure out what that issue is have had it to the dealership a couple times to no avail
Still have my 2009 Infiniti M35 with 247,000 miles and counting
Yeah so I'm chillin with my 2017 Acura RLX. My joint looks Baller as you would say brother. I wish I could upload a picture to show you how baller it looks. I customized it. Not gonna front though. This Infiniti was the best one they produced at the time and wanted one so bad but had other priorities at the time. It still looks hot today. I also like its replacement the Q70. The only problems I have/had with the Q70 was/is that the size of the body of the car made/makes the wheels look small. I partially attribute that due to the size of the huge wheel wells and the other problem was how bad it was/is on gas. That car is a beast though. What do you guys think?
RLX is a sweet car and very underrated flagship
@@MeynMotorGroup Yeah man I totally loved your unadulterated unfiltered review of the 2020 and the 2014. I really wish there was a little bit more enthusiasm out there for the car in the aftermarket community but it's all good. I have a nice sleeper. Thanks for all the work you put in on your channel. Keep up the good work.
If this car was a woman it would be a solid 10. I ❤it; there, I said it! Nevertheless, thank you for sharing this review with us.
I have a 08 M45x. Platinum Graphite in color. ❤
Still drive my m35x loaded with Bose stereo in seats, and rear sunshades. 110 miles on my 18 year old car.
One of the first girls I tried to date but was just “good friends” because she lived on other side of the USA was given a M45 after college, they were decent but after owning a G37, myself, the cheap interior, lack of ventilated seating, and I periodic high cost repairs we got out of the Infiniti and replaced it and my ISF with a Lexus GSF for me and the Infiniti with a RX350 for the wife because the Infiniti was too small for her work needs.
Yea ultimately I trust Lexus quality the most. F cars with an exhaust bought at the right price is 👌
Purchased a used 2007 M35 Base model in 2010. Happy with it at 164K miles even though it is showing normal wear and tear. The dashboard and the airbags were replaced by the dealer after a recall. Replaced the oil cooler gasket at 83K, the AC compressor went out at 126K, the radiator at 130K, and the head cover gasket at 150K. A couple of driver seat panels were replaced at 110K and may need to be replaced in a year or so. It burns about a quart of oil every 1000 miles. Used regular gas for 14 years and it works just fine as a daily driver.
They replaced the dashboard and airbags - they just replaced the airbags on the recall not my dashboard- they actually put a crack in it when changing the airbag.
First car was 2012 m37 kinda mad traded it for scat car was great
Scat is pretty excellent
These M35/45 looked too tall and narrow, otherwise great cars
I got a 2009 m45 and it drives good and it’s tuned with a cold air intake and rear wheel drive it makes 345 to the rear and it pops win down shift
Are they reliable
Have the only one in the UK. JDM fuga 450gt
Wow that’s impressive, they’re surprisingly rare to find in the States as well very underrated machines
i got a 2008 infiniti m45x i love it have every package.
Oh wow that’s rare
@@MeynMotorGroup ik i love this car
I own a M35S and a 350Z. love both of em. This car has been phenomenal, i got it for 6 grand with 130K miles. For the amount of features it has, it's a fkn steal!
Such a coincidental time this video was posted cause one of my co-workers has a 2010 M35x. It was was first time in an Infiniti and just how well put together that vehicle is with the beautiful design of that early to late 2000’s interior, the way it lofts on the road with barley any wind noise truly makes me appreciate a special vehicle Nissan/Infiniti created. Hopefully they will create more cars that give me that same impression eventually but that car was brilliant man I tell you!
Nice! I def believe it I’ve noticed many cars of this era performed very well
My last car was an 07 M35x. Driving-wise, I had no complaints about it whatsoever. When talking about amenities and maintenance/parts, though, I wished I had gotten an 08 or later.
Nice! Thanks for sharing
I remember when those can out next to the 6th gen maxima and Altima SE-R.
Yea I really liked the early nissan/Infiniti cars
My first car was a 1991 Q45 278 hp always loved how Infiniti was ahead of the game. I now have 2008 M45x with the DVD tech package got it at 30k and I am at 158k besides normal maintenance with a car at that age. It runs so smooth.I still drive knowing that not just anybody gonna leave me 😂. I do feel like infiniti been lagging in their big engine game recently though but V8 infiniti 4 life
This is a good video. I just recently bought a 2006 M35 and I was looking to learn more about these vehicles. I'm a ford guy and the only thing Japanese I have ever owned was a base 1997 corolla. I'm still confused on what package i have between "base" or "sport". Any key pointers would be nice. The guy i bought it from got it from another guy (first owner) and he had it painted but didn't put the badging back on it. It does have the 19 in rims and the auto focus lamps.
The M45 of that generation was honestly one of the the best looking cars on the road, I mean come on with the M45 Sport with low profile and tires/wheel combo and the nice nice interior and a V8 with available all wheel drive? Mad nice. I used to work in a bank that shared a parking lot with some doctors offices and let me tell you that there was one of those M45 sport in the lot and damn it was nice looking, unique in those times cause it really didnt look like another car IMO
So true my friend
Infiniti fanbase was the most lowkey car fanbase (if it even existed)! It didn't have to exist because we didn't need to seek validation about the things that made Infiniti truthfully special. Individual fans and owners at the time of '00s and early '10s had that realization that it was a rare and uniquely private sensation of its atmospheric design, funky quirks, and especially practicalities.
I have the ability to buy an 07 S- class with all the bells and whistles for $8,400 but it has 135,000 miles on the engine. Do you think that’s a bad deal or worth the risk? This would be my second car, something fancier than my Honda Accord lol. Not too flash, not very new, but still classy… you know what I mean? Anyhow any advise would be greatly appreciated thanks 🙏🏽
pony up for the m56 with the 420HP, OR save a few bucks and go for the absolutely gangster looking 2003/2004 M45. If you get one of these for a steal sure its fine but I'd prefer either the 03-04, or the 2010 M56 imho, I think they do look better then the G35 sedan, maybe not quite as good as the g37 sedan. its just too much of a tweener. other wise I'd just get a GS350 if I want reliability, a E550/350 if I want a plush luxury ride, or a 535i if I want a true sports sedan with legit power potential. Again, nothing wrong with these Ms, certainly better then like the Cadillac STS, the TL or the other crappy luxury sports sedans in the 2000s, but the Lexus, Mercedes and or BMW all fill their niches better then the M that tries to do it all, I wouldn't turn a M45 V8 one of these down for the right price, but otherwise I'm going to one of the big 3 luxury players.
My favourite part about my m35 is that it holds 6 CDs at once in the player and I’ve never seen another car that can do that
There are plenty of vehicles that utilize a 6 disc player from that era.
What’s a cd?
@@2gd532 lmao right, heck I'm a year shy of 40 and forgot what a cd was...haha thought all those went wherever the cassettes went 🤣🤣
I still have my 2006 M35 with over 215k miles it still drives like a charm. love my heated seats my backup camera. It's an oldie but a goodie.
I have an 06 M45s and I love it! I paid $3500 w 123k miles single owner with maintenance papers and he stayed on top of it. Only bad thing was he was 78yrs old and had a hard time with bumping into stuff w it. Just cosmetic nothing too bad. I have a question though, is there any way I can upgrade the system so that the Bluetooth will connect with my phone? I took it to the pros and they said no can do
Kevin on a roll with these sleeper/ underrated cars. At some point, I thought about getting a M45 and modifying it.
Trying to my friend!
I currently own a 2010 m45s with the V8 and I love love love this car I have owned BMW and Lexus infact my niece has a new Lexus and my infinity is more equipped and all-around just nicer than her Lexus as she confessed. Again I love this car it's comfortable fun stylish all around an amazing car
I have bought a 12:46 and 45X 2008 I have had it for three years it has 182,000 on it. And I love it I will never get rid of it. I change the fan modular. that was to cut the fan off and on that’s about it. I love the vehicle. I will never get rid of it. Very good in the snow.
👍🏾
What happens if i don't use premium fuel? I have an 06 M35x!
engine will probably start knocking after a while
Just picked up an M45 with the sport package for 3 grand. Didnt know much about the car before i got it but now i feel pretty lucky
I have 246k on my m45 and 190k on my m35
So I had a love for this car and I still do and I’m in the market for one but people are telling me that this model is trash is a 2008 M 35 I heard they have transmission issues like most Infiniti and Nissans The car only wants 4500 for it and he has 170 something thousand miles on it he said he’s never had a problem but people are telling me to stay away from his car what do you think
For 4500 I would def buy the cleanest V6 Camry/Avalon possible
@@MeynMotorGroup lol not those but I feel u not a big Toyota fan there cars are boring
I bought my ‘08 M45 in 2019. Only 88K miles!
I was looking for Accords or Camrys but couldn’t pass this one up. Awesome car, so far just brakes and tires needed.
Yo how can I find the 3rd cylinder I got a flashing check engine light and when I stop it starts to shake and if I go over 20mph it stars to flash the engine light can anyone help with info cause I can’t find nun pls trying to save this beauty?????
My father had a 2002, Q45. The car was extremely smooth as it ran down the road in the rear seats in that car also reclined. When it came time to trade in the Q, He was looking at the M 45 as a possible replacement? Unfortunately, after the merger With Renault, the quality within Nissan, and Infiniti vehicles dropped substantially.
I'm going to check out a 2007 Infiniti M35 x tomorrow.... Hoping it drives as well as it looks...the car looks brand new inside and out clean Carfax with all maintenance on time, papers for proof. And it's an older one owner.
Had a 06 X model the thing had a high RPM, 60 MPH @ 3800 RPM I hated it , great car but the fuel mileage could have been better
Never seen one that wasn’t clapped out with 5 owners
😂😂😂
