Disappointed

Purchased the M45 after owning a BMW 525, then a 2000 740IL. The Tech package of the M is awesome. Love the 3D GPS, voice activated controls, rear backup camera, A/C control seats (could be better), and overall looks. But from the very first oil change, have noticed using oil; not leaking, not smoking, but I have added from 1 to 2 quarts between changes. Also, moonroof leaks in any car wash, have had to have the AC serviced each year. Heated and cooled seats do not compare to the BMW. Ride is noisy, low-profile tires look great, but makes bumpy ride. If battery dies, no way to open the trunk (for jumper cables).

I traded my 911 carrera for the performance, quality and "room". Previous car was an m5. So far i have 2500 mi. Build quality appears good and there is plentiful space in the cabin. Very poor pdi. Glue all over the car and the rear deck spoiler was warped on delivery. It was replaced after the second trip with another warped part(?). Has to go back again. Performance is acceptable for a 4000 lb. Vehicle, but not great- it's no m5.Fit and finish excellent. Dealer very cooperative and apolegetic for the problems.

Best Infiniti product Ive owned after several Q45's. This car rocks its comfy, roomy and fast with great handling. Love the aluminum dash trim and the black exterior with the stone interior. Great combo and love the wheels on the sport M45 as well

After driving a BMW M3 for three years without a ticket, it was time to quit while I was ahead. I had a yen to trade for a luxury car but did not want to give up on the performance side. The new M45 was perfect. Beautiful, very hi-tech, and silly fast. I found I gave up very little on the performance side, but gained nearly everywhere else. Wonderful car.

Expensive: Low Quality Features

I have owned a 02 BMW 330 sport sedan, a 03 BMW 540 sport manual 6 speed, and finally decided to give the japanese a try. The Infiniti M45 is by far the closest feel to the german's you can get in a japanese sports sedan. Great reliability, great styling, and many features. Problem with the car is the horrible gas mileage averaging 13.5 MPG in the city and that's 3.4 MPG less than my BMW 540. Tons of features but they are all low grade. For example..the seat heaters don't even compare to the BMWs, the sound system is very hollow and tin sounding (plastic like), shared dashboard gauges from the Altima, and last...the suspension is horribly rough on everyone in the car.
